Brompton C Line Explore, 6-Speed, Pop Lilac, Black Ed, 2025 Mid, EXC COND

This is a Brompton C Line Explore, a British-made steel folding bike in Pop Lilac with black fittings from the 2024/25 range. It's a 6-speed model with 16-inch wheels and mid-rise handlebars, designed for urban cycling and commuting. The bike was first purchased in 2025 and has only been ridden for a couple of months, so it's in near-new condition throughout.

The steel frame uses Brompton's characteristic lateral fold, which collapses the bike into a compact package suited to storage in small spaces or carrying onto trains and buses. At its core, the Explore specification sits in the middle of Brompton's range, offering a practical balance between weight and capability. The 6-speed Sturmey Archer hub gear handles urban terrain well without the complexity of derailleur maintenance, and the mid-rise handlebar position strikes a comfortable middle ground between upright and sporty riding posture. The bike is clean and ready to ride straight away, with everything working as it should.

The Explore is aimed at people who cycle regularly in cities but need a bike that folds down for storage or to combine with other transport. The 16-inch wheels make it nimble in traffic and contribute to the tight fold, though they do demand a bit more pedalling effort on long flat stretches compared to larger-wheeled bikes. For urban commuting, short leisure rides, and anyone who values portability without sacrificing usability, this Brompton covers the job well.

Collection is available from London, or delivery can be arranged. The bike comes in a standard cardboard box rather than original Brompton packaging.
