The new 2024 Brompton C Line Urban folding bike is the classic All-Steel Folding Brompton people have known and loved for years, but now has all-black componentry, along with black fork, stem, and rear triangle in the spirit of the wildly popular "Black Edition" Bromptons. It’s the most customizable bike in Brompton’s lineup and the chromoly steel frame can be finished in an assortment of colours from classics to vibrant pop tones, including the all new Ocean Blue, Yuzu Lime, and Dune Sand colour options. For a premium look, choose the Black Lacquer or Flame Lacquer finish which is made using only the best frames where the hand brazing is visible.
Ideal for shorter rides or fast flats, the Urban model is a great solution for those who want the simplicity, low maintenance and weight savings of a two speed bike. Ideal for a city dweller or occasional weekend warrior, this model offers one gear for speed and one for climbing. Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires provide a zippy ride and a Front Carrier Block lets you customize your bike with a wide range of Brompton bags. Ideal for city use, plus all the low-key travel your heart desires - perfect for someone who expects to be carrying their bike often.
This bike uses the Low Handlebar which is Brompton’s lowest and sportiest handlebar. This gives a zippy, fast position for riders of average height and a mid-height position for shorter riders. Perfect for fast commutes. Fenders keep you and your bike looking presentable and make entry to shops, museums, and theatres a lot easier as a result. The bike is fitted with a Standard seatpost but can be swapped to Extended or Telescopic seatposts depending on your height. It comes standard with the Brompton Standard saddle which suits this handlebar the best but can be swapped out to the Brompton Wide saddle at no extra charge.
An optional aluminum rear rack makes the bike considerably more stable when folded and much easier to roll when using it in “rolling transport mode”. It also allows you to carry extra luggage on the back while touring, or if you need to haul something too large to fit in a front bag.
Note: The photos here depict a Brompton with a 3-speed internal Sturmey Archer hub. The Brompton C Line Urban is in fact a 2-speed bike.
