Product Comparison: Brooks C19 vs Brooks C17
General Specifications
About the Product
For those in the market for a wider saddle for touring or city riding, the C19 offers all the advantages of the Cambium line in a width suitable for a more upright seated position. Made from a vulcanised rubber top mounted to a frame of aluminium and hollow steel tubing, the C19 offers flexible performance for immediate comfort and all-day weather protection.
The uniquely flexible, maintenance-free, waterproof top is designed to follow the rider's movements for immediate comfort and ease of use. To the eye, the C17 may appear quite racy in its shape and lines, which indeed it is.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
Brooks C19 Cambium Saddle
- It has just the right amount of support and form to make riding for hours comfortable.
- Great saddle. Feels like a worn in leather Brooks. Great service.
- Good quality bike seat.
- Cambium is the best saddle in the industry.
- The shape, however, is very different, it's narrower, and much more firm than than the 67 and not comfy for me in an upright position.
Brooks C17 Cambium Bike Saddle
- It looks great, its incredibly comfortable and is just generally awesome. I would buy over and over again.
- I have about 250 miles on this saddle, and I adore it. It is absolutely worth the money in comfort, performance and style.
- The materials are such high quality and it is very comfortable.
- Same good fit I've always gotten from Brooks, and the rubber composite material has a bit more give than the traditional leather saddles.
- The saddle is quite attractive and comfortable; however, unlike the other Brooks saddles, the manufacturer did not build this type for longevity.

What customers say about "Features"
Brooks C19 Cambium Saddle
- So far, the seat is comfortable, rugged and seems very well-made. I was a bit hesitant because these are really very firm. But it turns out, that might not be a bad thing.
- Great saddle. Feels like a worn in leather Brooks.
- Good quality bike seat.
- I'm sure these are fantastic saddles for some folks. They just don't seem to fit my anatomy.
Brooks C17 Cambium Bike Saddle
- Super comfortable. No padding but the hard rubber surface flexes just enough under your sits bones. Well designed and great looking.
- The combination of rubber and cotton has some nice flexibility.
- It's waterproof, you don't have to condition it, it doesn't creak, and you don't have to constantly re-tension it every time you forget to cover it up in the rain.
- Best bike saddle ive owned. I dont have any pain down there any more, even on long rides, and i dont wear bibs or butt pads.
- This saddle didn't last 3000 miles before the canvas on the top had worn through to the rubber just aft of the nose assembly.
