Bigger yet lighter wheels for walking with your folded Brompton. The new tri-spoke design gives 15% greater ground clearance. Premium industrial-grade materials make them brilliantly durable.
Front Carrier Block
Brompton bags are expertly engineered to sit securely on the front of your bike with one quick click. The unique mounting system places the weight on your frame instead of the handlebars.
Brompton Saddle
Our Standard Saddle with black rails at 147mm in width is comfortable, sturdy, and reliable. The saddle is one of the most important parts of your bike, and it plays a huge part in your comfort and enjoyment.
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 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.
New colours
The Brompton C Line 12-speed is available in three new exclusive colours. Flamingo Pink—a vibrant, warm pink that’s an eccentric crowd-stopper, just like its namesake. Turkish Green—a Brompton classic, back by popular demand. Amethyst Lacquer—a striking purple with a transparent finish that showcases the craftsmanship behind every frame.
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.
Carry everything you need
From your laptop to labradoodle. The unique Brompton Luggage System places the weight on your frame instead of the handlebars. So, when carrying loads, your ride remains brilliantly stable.

C Line - 12-speed
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: the bold Flamingo Pink, the sophisticated Amethyst Lacquer, and the classic Turkish Green. 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.
