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 C17S Women's Cambium Bike Saddle

The level of comfort I had is immeasurable. The break-in period was so easy and pain-free, and even on the crappiest of roads, this saddle has my back.
It gives with you so when you hit a bump it absorbs some of the shock. I still wear padded bike shorts, but I feel like I don't really need to with this saddle.
This saddle has changed riding long distances for me. I'm a brooks for life now.
I have only recently started biking (road bike) and the saddle is a great fit from day one. No sore butt or whatever.

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 C17S Women's Cambium Bike Saddle

Not only is the packaging that it comes in absolutely fabulous (I'm a graphic designer...I notice these things), but the saddle itself looks pretty legit as well.
Very comfy compared to a regular seat. Love the color and look. Would definitely recommend.
It looks good on my bike and it felt good the first day I used it. The fact that it is low maintenance is a huge plus!
Very high attention to detail. Simple, elegant design. As comfortable as any similar quality seat. I like the fact that the material is waterproof.
Looks amazing. great quality. Good if you want something for the old italian steel frame with a touch of modern.
