Bromptons come in different gear options:
1 speed (discontinued for 2021)
2 speed - 2 sprockets and a derailleur
3 speed - Sturmey Archer Hub gear - BSR
6 speed - a combination of the Sturmey Archer BWR hub and a 2 speed derailleur
Why downgrade?
It partially comes from a question we had about Brompton Electric - can they be made 3 speed
Cleaner look without the derailleur mechanism
Simpler with less gear levers / combinations
Wide range 3 speed compared to the standard 3 speed
