The original Brompton folding bike. With a robust steel frame, proudly handmade in London. The most customisable Brompton model, there's a C Line for everyone.
The C Line folding bike captures the same fun-to-ride, go-anywhere feeling it always has. And today, with refined geometry, sleek design updates and modernised components, it feels better than ever. For over 45 years, owners across the world have customised their trusty steel folding bikes in hundreds of ways to suit their needs. Some have ridden around the world. Most have used them to improve their every day. With C Line, your options are always open.
The C Line Explore is Brompton's 6-speed do-it-all workhorse. Geared up to go further—cover all contours at home or further afield.
Key Features
Load this 6-speed all-steel workhorse with luggage and a rack for all-weather commuting or touring, then go explore. Some owners have cycled these around the world. Most use them to improve their day-to-day.
