In January 2025, Brompton Bicycle Limited (Brompton), the British folding bicycle (bike) manufacturer, was at a strategic crossroads. For decades the company’s success had rested on the Classic model—a compact, precisely engineered commuter bike—before carefully extending into the Electric model, while preserving its strategic coherence. The recent launch of the G Line, a gravel-oriented performance model, changed this balance. Early demand was strong, particularly in Asia Pacific markets, but internally the G Line provoked debate: Was it a natural extension or a risky distraction? The case challenges students to evaluate Brompton’s positioning, its external environment, and its distinctive capabilities, and to make a recommendation about the future of the G Line.
