Brompton C Line 12‑Speed Folding Bike
The Benchmark Folding Bike for Everyday Riding
The Brompton C Line 12-speed is the go-to folding bike for everyday riding in Canadian cities. Designed for commuting, storage, and versatility, it’s the most popular choice for riders who want one bike that fits seamlessly into daily life.
Now equipped with a rear rack as standard, the C Line 12-speed is even more practical—making it easier to carry cargo and roll the bike when folded through stations, hallways, or offices.
If you're comparing models, the C Line is built for urban, everyday use, while more rugged options like the G Line are designed for mixed terrain and trail riding.

Technical Overview
The Brompton C Line 12-speed uses a wide-range mechanical drivetrain that delivers significantly more gear range than traditional 2- or 6-speed models—while maintaining the compact fold.
The system combines a rear derailleur with an internally geared hub, allowing smooth, precise shifting across varied urban terrain.
The rear rack improves everyday usability, adding cargo capacity and making the bike easier to roll when folded—especially useful for commuting and multi-modal travel.
Built around Brompton’s hand-brazed steel frame, the C Line delivers durability, ride comfort, and long-term reliability.
