General Specifications
About the Product
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.
Narrow for pedaling freedom and reduced weight, the C15 redefines priorities, aiding performance by placing comfort at the fore. Firm, yet remarkably supple, the C15 will reward you with increased performance on long journeys, banishing forever the effort wasted simply perching atop your machine when the distance starts to add up.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
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.
Brooks C15 Saddle
- Cambiums need no break-in and are comfy right from the start.
- The Cambium is consistently perfectly molded to cycling posture whether drop bar sprinting or top bar casual riding, they fit and perform consistently well.
- I have ridden the C15 for several hundred miles now and find it just as comfortable and biking friendly as the B series saddles!
- I am pleased with the quality & at nearly 300kms the pelvis area has softened nicely.
- There in lies the problem the C15 nose is far to wide. It is 10mm more narrow at the back than the others yet the nose is between 2 & 7.5 mm WIDER!

What customers say about "Features"
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.
Brooks C15 Saddle
- Finally, The C15 is sleek, racy and will look great on any current model or vintage bike.
- I've been finding my Cambium quite comfortable although no great mileage yet.
- This saddle was an instant success with all the comfort and ergonomic traits you look for in a seat.
- One small snag - in snowy weather, the fabric seems to hold a little moisture which can freeze when you are off the bike.
