T Line Ceratech - 12 Speed

Now Available: T Line Ceratech Ceramic coatings are commonplace in the automotive and aerospace industries due to their durability, impact protection and lightweight qualities. More recently, ceramic coatings have been applied in the cycling industry for use on frames and smaller components like jockey wheels. Cerakote is one of the leading brands in ceramic coatings famed for its lightweight yet tough coating that boasts improved abrasion resistance and increased strength and hardness compared to its powder coated counterpart. Components benefit from the coating as it keeps the moving parts running smoothly with less resistance. So, in our pursuit of constant innovation, the Brompton T Line is available with a Cerakote finish. This T Line Ceratech not only looks good but also has a ceramic finish that will ensure your bike is protected from corrosion and looks great. Purple color touchpoints Includes T Line exclusive purple Colourlab Touchpoints. A 5-piece touchpoint set. Feel and see the difference with premium anodised aluminium parts. What is Cerakote? Cerakote is a thin ceramic coating applied to plastic, aluminium, steel and titanium objects. In our case it’s our titanium bike frames. It is applied with a spray gun as a thin film then cured with either heat or air leaving a coating just 40 microns thin (that’s half as thick as the average human hair!). A typical powder coated frame is more than twice that thickness meaning you get a great looking frame with much less weight. Material excellence The ceramic-based finish on our titanium frames provides a deep, intense color and an exceptional layer of protection—the high durability, low weight and resistance to wear make this a highly prized finish in the aerospace and automotive industries. To prepare for coating, the T Line frame is: • blasted with aluminum oxide • degreased • heated to remove any gases that have built up inside What do our experts say? When Phillip and his team started work on the T Line Ceratech, they had one goal in mind: to enhance the T Line. “We are constantly finding ways to innovate and improve our bikes, and inspire people to use them as much as they can,” says Phillip. “Part of getting people excited to ride their bike is getting them excited about their bike, and as human beings that often relates to colors.” The T Line is the lightest Brompton ever made and its aesthetic is celebrated by riders all around the world. “We chose Cerakote because it allows us to add color without compromising the other qualities of the T line.” 19.4 lbs
