Britain’s largest bike manufacturer Brompton Bicycle has sold stakes to Decathlon and BA Capital, marking “an exciting new chapter” for the folding bike brand.

Decathlon Pulse – the investment and innovation arm of retail giant Decathlon (which has previously backed Magene and Coros) – has made the investment alongside BA Capital, a Shanghai-based venture capital firm.

“Brompton will remain Brompton” the brand emphasised: “The company will retain its independence, distinctive brand, operating model and handcrafted-in-London heritage that have defined it since 1975.”

According to The Guardian, Decathlon’s stake is 10%, while BA Capital’s is 5% – the deal is understood to be worth approximately £18 million. CYCLING INDUSTRY NEWS
