The Brompton C Line 12-speed SuperRoll+ is a versatile folding bike designed for riders who want the convenience of a compact bike without compromising on everyday usability. Combining Brompton's established folding design with a wide-range 12-speed drivetrain and improved folded portability, it's a practical choice for commuting, city riding and journeys involving public transport.
Whether you're cycling to work, catching a train or heading into town, the C Line is designed to fit around your journey. Its compact folded size makes it easier to take on public transport, store in smaller spaces or keep nearby when you're not riding.
The frame is constructed from precision-drawn, heat-treated steel tubing, using a combination of hand-brazed and selected automated brazed joints. This construction provides a durable foundation for regular riding while maintaining the distinctive design that Brompton folding bikes are known for.
Brompton's folding mechanism allows the frame, handlebars and rear wheel assembly to fold into a compact package. This makes the C Line particularly useful for riders who combine cycling with other forms of transport or have limited storage space at home or work.
The steel frame is paired with a brazed steel fork, providing straightforward steering and a durable setup for everyday urban riding. Steel construction also contributes to the characteristic ride feel of the C Line, helping it remain comfortable over typical city surfaces.
One of the standout features of this model is Brompton's 12-speed drivetrain. Unlike a conventional derailleur system, it combines a 4-speed external gearing arrangement with a 3-speed internal hub to provide 12 available gear combinations.
The drivetrain features a Brompton chain pusher, a dedicated 4-speed derailleur shifter and a separate 3-speed hub gear shifter. This arrangement provides a wider selection of gears while retaining the compact packaging required by Brompton's folding design.
The rear wheel uses a Brompton wide-ratio 3-speed internal gear hub, paired with an external 11-18T sprocket arrangement. A 50T chainring provides the front gearing, giving riders a useful range of ratios for navigating city streets, tackling climbs and maintaining speed on flatter roads.
Having 12 gears makes the C Line more adaptable to different routes, particularly for riders who encounter hills during their commute or want additional flexibility when carrying luggage.
The chainset features a forged 6061 aluminium crank with an integrated chainguard. This helps protect clothing from contact with the chainring, making the bike practical for commuting in everyday clothes.
Stopping power comes from Brompton Dual Pivot Caliper brakes at the front and rear. These provide straightforward, hand-operated braking suited to urban riding, allowing riders to manage their speed when approaching junctions, navigating traffic or descending hills.
The C Line rolls on Brompton's familiar 16in wheels, featuring double-wall rims and 28 spokes at each wheel. Their compact diameter is an important part of the bike's folding design, helping reduce its overall size when stored or transported.
Schwalbe Marathon Racer tyres are fitted front and rear, providing a balance of rolling performance and durability for regular road use. They're well suited to commuting, cycle paths and everyday journeys on paved surfaces.
The smaller wheels also contribute to the bike's responsive handling, making it easy to manoeuvre through busy streets and tighter spaces.
The cockpit uses a steel handlebar stem designed around Brompton's folding system. This allows the handlebar assembly to fold neatly alongside the frame, helping maintain the bike's compact dimensions.
A Brompton Standard saddle provides a comfortable contact point for everyday riding. The saddle also incorporates an easy-grab nose handle, giving riders a convenient place to lift and carry the bike when needed.
The bike features a standard extended seatpost, allowing the saddle height to be adjusted to suit the rider while remaining compatible with the folding mechanism.
One of the main advantages of the SuperRoll+ configuration is its Advance Rear Frame, designed to make the folded bike easier to move.
Rather than carrying the bike every time you enter a building or railway station, the rear frame and larger roller wheels allow it to be rolled along while folded. With the seatpost positioned halfway up and locked in place, the bike can be guided through stations, corridors and other indoor spaces.
This makes the SuperRoll+ particularly useful for commuters who regularly move between cycling and public transport, reducing the need to lift the bike over longer distances.
When lifting is necessary, the integrated saddle handle provides a convenient grip for carrying the bike up steps, onto trains or into storage.
The C Line also features Brompton's luggage system, which positions compatible bags on a dedicated front carrier block attached to the frame rather than directly to the handlebars.
This arrangement helps maintain predictable steering when carrying luggage, making it useful for transporting work essentials, shopping or other belongings during everyday journeys.
Compatible luggage options allow riders to adapt the bike to their needs, whether that's carrying a laptop on the commute or packing additional items for a longer day out.
The frame also provides space for a compatible Brompton toolkit, allowing essential tools to be stored neatly within the bike rather than taking up room in a bag.
Practical touches continue with the pedals. The left-hand pedal folds to help reduce the bike's width when stored, while the right-hand pedal remains fixed.
This contributes to the compact folded package, making it easier to position the bike in tighter spaces such as cupboards, car boots or designated storage areas.
The Brompton C Line 12-speed SuperRoll+ is designed for riders who value flexibility in their everyday journeys. Its combination of a compact folding frame, wide-range gearing and improved rolling portability makes it particularly well suited to commuting and mixed-mode travel.
Whether you're riding across town, combining cycling with a train journey or looking for a bike that's easier to store at home, the C Line offers a practical way to make cycling part of your daily routine.
With its durable steel construction, 12-speed drivetrain and SuperRoll+ rolling system, the Brompton C Line 12-speed SuperRoll+ brings together everyday riding versatility and the convenience of a compact folding bike.
