Hi guys,
Currently, only owned a strida as I thought of upgrading.
Need some clarifications between the mentioned 2 models, not too sure which is better personally I prefer the design of a birdy but it seems like brompton wasn't a bad ride based on the reviews.
Thanks alot for any advice and help.

Yes a brompton comes with a back suspension block.
A birdy comes with a front suspension and a back suspension block thou.

It depends on what you want in a foldie. One key feature of Brompton is its foldability; especially so, if you are moving in MRT, bus, car. It is so easy to fold and so compact, that you are really "mobile". A Birdy is harder to fold and bigger. Its gear changing is excellent. I have both, and if asked which to sell away, it will be a tough decision. So most of us who owns a Brompton usually also owns a Birdy.
