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 does it better than ever. For over 45 years, owners across the world have customized 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.

New 12-speed system

The latest development is the C Line 12-speed, brought in to accompany the 2 and 6-speed options. First seen on the P Line model, Brompton's unique 12-speed system is an expertly engineered solution that gives riders more gears and more range. It takes portability of Brompton’s classic bike to a whole new level, thanks to an Advance Rear Frame which allows owners to glide and steer their folded bikes through railway stations and entrance foyers with the seat post locked halfway up.

The original folding bike

C Line is the original steel folding bike built for the city. Proudly handmade in London since 1975. It transforms from a go-anywhere vehicle to a small, locked package in under 20 seconds. Easy to lift, carry or store. You can take it on trains, tuck it in car boots or under restaurant tables. Add luggage, run a rack, and even store a toolkit inside the frame.

New colours

The Brompton C Line 12-speed is available in three new exclusive colours, Palm Green, Plum Red and Cloud Metallic.

Brompton bikes expertly undergo a meticulous powder-coating process using environmentally friendly powders, all powered by 100% renewable energy. With seven striking colours to choose from and new shades released throughout the year, your ride is as unique as you are.
