BrooksC17 Cambium Carved All Weather Saddle(Return to Product Page)

Been searching for something that really fits me. This c17 is the most comfortable saddle ive tried yet. Might try a 15 just to see.

Ive always loved Brooks saddles. Ive ridden the Swift, the classic B17 and now the Cambium and let me say that the Cambium by far is my favorite right out the box. The break-in time is practically non-existent and the overall ride and feel is awesome, not to mention theyre super light. Thanks Brooks, you guys are killing it.

My first Brooks saddle. For not having any padding I find it just as comfortable as my old padded saddle. Haven't done any longish rides on it, but for my commuting distances it's great. Chose it over a leather version since it's water proof.

Ive had a Brooks B17 for over 15 years. The C17 is equally comfortable, without the break in period, and aesthetically nice enough to be used on any bike- even high end road. 110% recommend this product.

saddles are insanely personal. Tried many but have settled on the Brooks C17 over some that cost 3x as much

When you find one that works stay with it regardless of price, looks or weight. I currently have it on 3 bikes

Use every day. Seems to be a perfect match for me. The cutout works well but the saddle material flexes really good, so I'm not sure you need it. After buying this saddle also tried the B17 leather and that is an excellent saddle as well. I really like that WESTERN BIKE WORK matched the competitors price.

I wanted a Brooks saddle for my hybrid bike to replace the stock saddle. The Cambiun rubber construction appealed to me more than the leather. As soon as I sat on it I knew I made the right choice, very comfortable saddle and looks good too.

Saddle is on a gravelcyclocross bike. I put in long rides and have a few hundred miles on the saddle. Used on gravel, single track and tarmac. It was comfortable from day one. Just a few minor angle adjustments on the first ride. Extremely comfortable on long rides. I do not notice any discomfort during or after the ride.

I bought this saddle for my wife who is a long distance cyclist. She normally rides Selle Anatomica but leather stretches and the saddle needed to be replaced. Took a chance with this model and she loves it. Comfortable on the first day and it continues to be comfortable no matter the distance.

I've tried at least 15 different saddles ranging from $40 wtb to $250 selle smp. Brooks has the best feel. The saddle is quite flexible and behaves as a shock absorber. There is some break in time but nearly as much as leather, mine is starting to form after just a few rides.

Saddles can be very personal. The wider seat fits me well.

Slapped this on my classic Lemond road bike, looks great and feels great.

Got a great price!

I have more than a few Brooks B-17 saddles. The 20 year old one on my touring bike. I love that saddle! We got history! I kinda wanted to put another B-17 on my gravel bike, but wanted to try the cambium saddle. Several cyclists in my local club use them, so I figured I'd give it a go.

You know how you can tell a saddle is right for you? From the first ride, the main thing I noticed was that after 50 miles, I didn't think about my saddle. Yeah I knew I was on a new saddle, but it just worked for me, right out of the box! Yeah, they're kind of heavy, but so am I! Highly recommend!

I researched 5 different saddles, from $100 to over $400 dollars. After reading reviews and taking into account that Brooks has been making saddles for over 150 years I decided to go with the C17. I am quite happy with it. I highly recommend considering a saddle from Brooks before you make your decision. Happy riding!

I'm using this saddle in my gravel bike. I have more than 300 miles on it so far. I am not having a problems with sit bone soreness post ride. It's a great saddle for me.

I have two C17s for my fat bikes, and two C15s for my gravel bikes. I have found them to be very comfortable in those applications. They are far more flexible than their leather counterparts, and they are weather proof. They also have cut outs, so maybe a little less pressure in sensitive areas. My journey to the C17 has taken my through a number of different saddles, many far more expensive, but none as comfortable for me as the C17 and C15. Not light, by any means, but I value comfort over saving a few grams any day.

I have two bikes and three Carved C17 seats: one is for our of town bike rentals, like my XC100 pedals. Don't leave home without them. US stores (I know about) only have this black model in stock. I ordered from Brooks U.K. to get an Octane and a Brown version. Good luck.

I bought this to replace a B17 on my fat bike. I have been trying out cutaway saddles after my doctor suggested that bicycling with regular saddles might be having some negative health consequences. Roughly the same shape as a B17, it is much more flexible, and therefore more comfortable over uneven terrain. It is waterproof as well so no Proofide needed. Not light by any means, but I am not concerned with the weight. I also think the price is reasonable. It is certainly worth considering.

I bought this saddle to replace a lighter, thinner Italian saddle which was beautiful cosmetically, but was doing me no favors to my nether regions. This saddle weighs nearly 1 lb about 6 ounces heavier than my old saddle, heavy for a road bike, but I am ok giving up a few ounces for more comfort. The first few rides were rough. I got very sore and was uncomfortable. However, after a few rides to allow my gluteus maximus to get used to it, the seat does get very comfortable. My suggestion is if you buy and it is not comfortable right away, give it a chance and be patient. It is worth it.
