Good but long break in.

Got this seat for my mountain bike. Must have 200 miles on it and it is finally feeling like it is breaking in. First few rides were pretty painful. Requires some patience.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Saddle

The Brooks Cambium Carved works great on my gravel bike. It's a bit stiffer than my Brooks Swift saddle, but I can tell the difference the cut-out makes on long rides. Once I became accustomed to the stiffer seat, I like it almost as well as the Swift. Much better saddle for riding trails and crossing water than the leather Brooks.

Thank you for your feedback.

Keeps my butt happy

Comfortable. Cannot go wrong with Brooks. All season so you dont have to worry about polishing or taking care of the saddle like the leather versions. Overall love it. This is my second C17.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great saddle and comfortable

Ive got a couple hundred miles on this saddle and love it right out of the box. I have it on my Lynskey gravle bike and thinking of getting one for my mountain bike.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best Saddle

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Solid, comfortable

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Brooks legacy continues

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

nice saddle

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

Thank you for your feedback.

Very comfortable, no break in required

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent saddle. Very happy with it and no break-in period. All weather so no worries in the rain and mud.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great long distance saddle, comfortable from day 1.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best saddle I've tried.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

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

Looks to be a great saddle, may be 5 stars once I can get a few hundred miles on it.

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