The Details

The Brompton C Line Explore features an advanced 6-speed groupset which when combined with the large front crank will give you the options to make your commute as smooth as possible. No longer will you need to push too hard arriving sweaty as the smooth shifting will make it effortless to ride.

As with any Brompton, the C Line Explore can be folded and unfolded in moments allowing for easy movement on and off public transport. Taking mere moments to set up, you'll be up and running before you know it. Even in the rain, the Brompton C Line Explore comes fitted with mudguards as standard to keep your legs and back dry even when the roads get wet.

Bromptons are made different. Brompton engineer an efficient solution for moving around the city and beyond. This is a bike that does more than the obvious, it answers problems owners say they didn't know they had. ‘You don’t get Brompton until you get a Brompton.’

Features:

  • Quickly folds into a neat package that is simple to travel with
  • Mudguards and reflectors fitted as standard
  • Light and carriable

Sizing Information

Which handlebar?

There are three handlebar types, offering different riding positions for varying heights of rider and riding styles.


Handlebar type (Previously known as) Profile Ride position

Low

S-Type Straight Sporty, for average to tall riders. Neutral position for shorter owners.

Mid

M-Type Riser Neutral/relaxed position for average to tall riders. A more sit-up position for shorter riders.

High

H-Type Riser (with stem for extra height) Neutral for taller riders. Upright for small or average height owners - similar in style to a traditional dutch bike.

 

Choosing Your Saddle Height:

Every Brompton sold online is fitted with an Extended seatpost, as this fits most riders. Riders with smaller inside leg measurements can still select taller options and use them at a lower setting.

  Inside Leg Features

Standard

84cm/33" (or less) Brompton's lightest and shortest seatpost.

Extended

84cm - 89cm/33" - 35" Offers an additional 60mm of elevation but leaves the saddle correspondingly higher when folded.

Telescopic

90cm35" (or more) Offers up to 175mm more elevation than a standard post but the saddle only projects 20mm above the folded package.
