Brompton C Line 6-Speed High Handle 2025 - Matt Black

This is a Brompton C Line folding bike in matt black, a British-made steel-framed compact design that's built for urban cycling and easy transport. The C Line sits in the middle of Brompton's range, offering six speeds via hub gears rather than the slower three-speed option, which gives you a bit more flexibility when tackling hills or varying terrain around town. The high-handle frame geometry keeps you upright and comfortable for city riding, with good visibility in traffic and a relaxed posture suited to shorter journeys and commuting.

The 16-inch wheels are standard for Brompton and fold the bike down to a genuinely compact package that fits under a desk, into a train luggage rack, or stored flat in a garage without taking up much space. The steel frame is durable and built to last, which is why Brompton bikes regularly last many years of daily use. Six-speed hub gears mean smooth, quiet gear changes with minimal maintenance compared to derailleur systems, and the side-pull caliper brakes are responsive and easy to adjust. This particular bike has barely been used since purchase in May 2024 and has been kept in a garage in excellent condition, so it's ready to ride straight away.

The Brompton folds using the signature lateral fold design that becomes intuitive after a few attempts, letting you carry the bike onto buses, trains, or into shops without needing a separate bag. The high-handle setup suits riders who want a more upright position for casual urban riding rather than a sports-oriented geometry, making it a natural choice for commuters mixing cycling with public transport or anyone storing a bike in a small flat or office.
