Isn't the difference that one is foldable and the other not?

The Brompton version comes with a better anti flat karma.

distribution path adds cost , one sourced thru brompton has that layer, in there.
it's called staying in business..
tires are priced for OEM, buying a truckload is cheaper,
and to fit that tire on their new bikes as a option,
in the build, that's what they do,
wholesale sales to distributors is a bit more,
they ship to the retailers like SJS.
