Brompton C Line Explore 6-Speed ​​Folding Bike

Brompton C Line Explore 6-Speed ​​– The cult folding bike for city, commute & adventure

The Brompton C Line Explore is far more than a folding bike – it's a British icon of modern urban mobility. Handcrafted in London from robust steel and equipped with a unique, patented folding system, this compact 16" folding bike combines maximum flexibility, durability and unparalleled style.

Compact, clever & city-ready
Brompton's ingenious folding system , developed in 1975 by founder Andrew Ritchie , allows the bike to shrink down to luggage size in less than 20 seconds – perfect for commuters, travelers, and city dwellers with limited storage space. Whether on the train, in the office, or at home – the C Line Explore fits everywhere.

Robust steel frame – handcrafted in London
Each Brompton is meticulously handcrafted and individually numbered. The hand-brazed steel frame ensures a comfortable, stable ride – without the nervousness of many folding bikes. The classic design and matte black powder coating give the bike an elegant and timeless look. The paintwork is applied using environmentally friendly powders and renewable energy – sustainably produced, built to last.

6-speed gearbox for every situation
Equipped with the Brompton Wide-Range 6-speed system (3-speed hub gear combined with a 2-speed derailleur), the C Line Explore masters both city traffic and light tours. Whether steep bridges, headwinds, or leisurely after-work rides – the 6 finely spaced gears always offer the optimal gear ratio.

Perfectly suited for everyday use.
This model is fully equipped:

• Dynamo-powered LED lighting system – low-maintenance & reliable

• Rear luggage rack – ideal for bags or small shopping trips

• Mudguards – for clean trouser legs

• Extended seatpost – perfect for riders with an inseam of up to 89 cm.
