Brooks designers made a notable departure from their signature leather saddles when they introduced their Cambium line, and the positive feedback they received from the vegan-friendly saddles was enough to expand the line to include the C15 Cambium Carved. Addressing the perineal discomfort often experienced by cyclists, the brand with a long history of comfort added a pressure-relieving cutout to the middle of this saddle. The cutout is the same design used in Brooks’ Imperial line, resulting in a best-of-both-worlds scenario for the Cambium Carved. Brooks decided to stick with its durable, treated organic cotton cover for this model, which is stretched over a natural rubber base. The two layers are fused together to create a long-lasting single vulcanized layer that sits over die-cast aluminum tubular steel rails, forming a vibration-minimizing hammock that makes long rides feel short.While the C17 Cambium saddles had a wider width for race saddles, the Cambium Carved returns to the more standard slimmer design of a race saddle with a width of 140mm. The standard saddle length of 283mm accommodates most riders, and thanks to the cutout, the Cambium Carved weighs in lighter than the rest of the line.
