Pro:
Small incremental improvesment such as better quality zip
Brompton Logo cam Lock
Better Fabric
A Pen Holder
Glove friendly zip pulls which is not a necessity in my market but some dealer may like this feature.
Bigger and more padded laptop sleeve with cable management option
Smaller foot print externally than before
Now compatible with ALL Brompton handlebars, the C bag was not suitable for S handlebar. This is because the plastic frame handlebar which is not very stylish and make the bag harder to carry in a daily use
It is more affordable

Cons:
Same story as the new Borough Rolltop bag. Stretchy fabric on the side pocket is worst than the two generation of bags ago. And the interior is grey instead of hi-viz green.
Again rain cover is no longer attached to the bag and will be easier to get lost!
Cannot be as colourful like the owner as an S Bag very bad for leisurely rider in Asia. Too Spartan! As a re-seller of Brompton I know that black is the best selling colour but I think there should be more options
Buckle on the back pocket may be a step backward on the aesthetic front but Brompton probably have gotta a lot of feedback from user about this. I don’t know guys… Tell me what you think in the comment section.
