Cobblestones, kerbs, rough tarmac — your Brompton feels every bump. This takes the edge off. The standard Brompton rear suspension is a simple rubber block. It works, but it doesn't do much. This shock absorber replaces it with a proper spring-based system — a stacked wave spring sandwiched between two aluminium end caps, held together with a bolt through the centre. The result is noticeably better absorption over rough surfaces, without changing how your bike handles or folds. How it works It fits directly into the same position as your stock suspension block — no modifications needed. Remove the old block, slide this in, tighten the bolt. The wave spring compresses under load and springs back, absorbing impacts your rubber block would just transfer straight to you. Key features 3-layer wave spring — stacked stainless steel or titanium spring gives progressive, controlled absorption rather than a dead stop Aluminium alloy end caps — CNC-machined, anodised, light and durable Two bolt options — stainless steel (130g total) or titanium (123g total). Titanium saves a few grams and is stronger, steel is the budget-friendly choice Direct replacement — fits where your stock suspension block sits, no tools beyond a hex key Four colour options — gold, silver, black, or colourful (mixed anodised finish) Which bolt should I choose? Steel bolt — solid, reliable, 130g total weight. Good value choice Titanium bolt — lighter at 123g, stronger, and won't corrode. Worth it if you want the best Got a question?
