Brompton C Line 12-speed Folding Bike
For commuter cyclists, the Brompton C Line 12-speed transforms the daily journey. Folding into a compact, locked package in under 20 seconds, it slips easily onto trains, under office desks, or into tight hallway spaces, no bike racks or locks required. The innovative Advance Rear Frame takes portability further, letting you glide and steer the folded bike smoothly through stations and buildings using larger, stable wheels. It’s a folding bike that genuinely works with public transport, making mixed-mode commuting faster, simpler, and stress-free.

Brompton’s expertly engineered 12-speed system gives you the flexibility to tackle steep climbs, accelerate confidently in traffic, and cruise comfortably on longer leisure rides, all without compromising the iconic compact fold.
British craftsmanship, custom style, and practical versatility
Handmade in London since 1975, the Brompton C Line reflects iconic British craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Whether you’re riding across the city or heading out for a relaxed weekend spin, this is a folding bike that feels lively, efficient, and rewarding to ride.
