Bike Fit

Your body position on the bike affects your comfort and how efficiently you apply power to the pedals. 

• Fits like a full-size bike
• Adjustable seatpost and handlebar
• Fits rider from 5’ to 6’+

Burke 20

Bigger cockpit

The Burke 20 has a longer saddle to handlebar reach than most folding bikes, giving a better fit for taller riders.

Burke 16

Easily adjustable fit

The Burke 16 includes an extra long telescopic seatpost and telescopic handlebar stem, providing full handlebar and saddle height adjustability.

Burke 8

Relaxed and upright

With its under-seat steering and delta frame design, the Burke 8 allows anyone from 4' to over 6' to cycle in a relaxed, upright position.

Stability and handling

Many factors determine the stability of a bike in a straight line and how it handles turns. These include front fork geometry, wheel size, wheel base, position of the center of gravity of rider and bike.

Comfort and safety

Saddle, handlebar grip, pedals, frame stiffness, and brakes all play an important part in ensuring a safe and comfortable ride.

Among their many features, Burke bicycles are equipped with powerful V-brakes, high pressure good-grip tires, and integrated headset with precision bearings.
All components on our bikes are selected for their build quality and performance to facilitate a safe and comfortable ride. 

Gear Range

Ever wished you have more gears for tackling a climb, or dashing to an appointment? A wide gear range with closely spaced gear ratios will also allow you to pedal at your most efficient cadence at any speed.

Burke 20

With a 135mm rear dropout spacing and rear derailleur hanger, the Burke 20 can accommodate SRAM, Shimano, Rohloff, Sturmey Archer and other internal gear hubs as well as 11-speed derailleur gears.

Burke 16

With a 135mm rear dropout spacing and rear derailleur hanger, the Burke 16 can accommodate a wide selection of internal gear hubs and derailleur gears.

Burke 8

The Burke 8 has a single rear gear sprocket, with an option for a  dual-speed drive crankset.

Luggage

If you use your bike for commuting, running errands, sight-seeing or touring, you'll want to carry stuff. Racks and luggage mounting systems on a bike should allow load carrying without affecting stability and handling.

A Brompton-compatible front luggage system allows a wide selection of bags and baskets to be mounted on the rigid head tube.
With a quick-release luggage system, a trunk bag can be easily mounted on and released from the rear rack.

Durability

Parts wear out over time as a bike gets used and exposed to the weather. How durable a bike is depends on the quality of the components, the frame material, the strength of the welds, the precision tolerances in the pivot hinges, etc.

• All Burke bicycles feature full titanium frame sets and components selected for their durability and performance.
• The name is etched on the bare titanium frame by anodizing, an electrical process used in the jewelry industry.
• Precision machined hinges and tubings made from aerospace grade 9 titanium 3AL/2.5V, one of the strongest metal alloys available.
