Overview

Folding down for trains, offices and small flats, the Brompton C Line is a small-wheel commuter with a chromoly steel frame, caliper brakes and a twist grip shifter. Fenders, folding pedals, reflectors, a bell and a saddle with a carry handle come on it.

Two gears and fast folding make it a practical city bike for mixed commuting by rail or on foot. The limitation is that small wheels and only two speeds suit flat to rolling city streets rather than long, hilly rides.

Who it's for

Daily trips on paved streets where the bike has to fold small and ride in a carry bag or under a desk. Tall riders, off-road users and hill climbers should check height limits and look at larger-wheel bikes.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Folds for storage
  • Fenders and bell included
  • Carry handle in saddle
  • Long frame warranty
Cons
  • Only two gears
  • Maximum rider height not listed
  • Small wheels feel bumpy

Performance notes

A folding hinge and a telescoping seatpost let the frame change size, so riding position depends on how far the post extends. Small wheels accelerate quickly but meet bumps more sharply than large wheels. The rear derailleur and twist grip shift between the two gears for flat and slightly rolling roads.
