Description
The Brompton C Line 12-speed is the ultimate city companion, blending iconic British craftsmanship with cutting-edge portability. Proudly handmade in London since 1975, our bikes transform from a full-sized ride into a compact, locked package in under 20 seconds. Whether navigating bustling streets, hopping on a train, or tucking it under a café table, the C Line is designed to move with you effortlessly. Now featuring a new 12-speed system, it delivers an impressive gear range-matching, if not exceeding, traditional road and commuter bikes – all while maintaining Brompton’s renowned compact design. The Advance Rear Frame takes portability even further, allowing riders to glide and steer their folded bike with ease, thanks to larger, smoother-rolling wheels.
Personalisation has always been at the heart of Brompton, and the C Line 12-speed continues this tradition with three striking new colours: Cloud Metallic, Palm Green and Plum Red. Its unique Brompton Luggage System ensures a stable ride, even when carrying heavy loads, by keeping weight on the frame rather than the handlebars. Whether you’re commuting, adventuring, or simply enjoying the ride, the C Line 12-speed is a versatile, stylish, and practical bike that redefines urban mobility.
