Brompton C-Line Explore (Mid Handlebar)
The Brompton C-Line
The original design with the three-part fold, handmade in Brompton’s London Factory since 1975. Super compact and robust, the solidly built all-steel C Line is their most customisable bike in the widest range of colours.
C-Line Bikes Are:
- all-steel and weigh around 12kg
- equipped with mudguards for all weather riding;
- have a front carrier block for Brompton luggage;
- come with a folding pedal to make carrying and storing your bike super easy.
C-Line bikes are available with two types of gearing (urban or explore) and riders have the option of choosing low, mid, or high handlebars depending on the desired riding position:
C-Line Gearing
Urban — 2-Speeds
With two gears, the C Line Urban is lighter to ride and carry than all other C Line models. And with one gear trigger, it's simple to use, too. Ideal for flat, urban areas.
Explore — 6-Speeds
The 6-speed do-it-all workhorse, geared up to go further. The C Line Explore covers all contours, at home or further afield, and is ideal for riders who may not always take the same route for their commute and those who want to use the bike for more than just city riding.
Brompton Handlebars
Brompton makes three handlebar styles: low, mid, and high. C Line and P Line bikes are available with all three bar styles:
Low is great for riders who want a sporty ride and a direct feel, and provides very direct handling thanks to its flat shape.
Mid is the most popular bar choice. It has a riser shape and puts the rider in a comfortable position. For shorter riders, it may feel very upright, and for taller riders, it may feel a bit low.
High has the same riser profile as mid, but the bike has a longer stem, moving the bar a bit higher. It provides a neutral riding position for very tall riders and a very upright position for average height riders.
Looking for Something More?
Check out the Brompton P-Line, the same classic shape but with 1/3 titanium components shaving just under 2kg from the total weight of the bike. Alternatively, power-up your ride with the C-Line Electric!
