C Line Edition Explore components
Fork material
The fork is made out of steel, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels size
The C Line Edition Explore 2023 bike is equipped with 16″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. The 16″ wheels are a good fit for folding bikes, BMX, or children bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The C Line Edition Explore comes with Rim brakes. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
Brompton C Line Edition Explore 2023 is available in one size only. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
