Very satisfied

- Florent, 7 February, 2024

I've just received it and used it on 2 70km rides. I no longer have the pain I had with the previous saddle. Can't wait to test it on longer rides

The ultimate bicycle touring saddle

- Vale, 17 January, 2023

Saddle pluriblasonata famous among cycle travelers really amazed me for the comfort, never found so good on a bike and without making millimeter adjustments, used on Cinelli Hobo Geo, the only drawback is the weight, but given the use you can safely turn a blind eye. The material is non-slip so just find the best position and stop the annoying back and forth movements while pedaling. Top purchase, super recommended. Super fast shipping despite the Christmas season congratulations Mantel store superlative

The queen of saddles gets a facelift

- Marco, 6 December, 2022

Taken to replace a leather brooks at the end of its life, I turned to something that would not have problems with wear and tear due to water and moisture. Constructed with rubber and cotton vulcanized together it quickly obviates maintenance problems. The choice of saddle always remains subjective. Mounted on my gravel that I use mainly in bikepaking I can assure that it has not lost anything in comfort.Wide and comfortable seat,soft just the right amount, can be found in two different models,carved with slot or whole.After the first 500 km I can only praise the saddle for its workmanship. For those looking for lightness should go for models with carbon hull, this one is steel and aluminum and the weight increases around 450 grams. In conclusion I can recommend the saddle to those who like me use the bike for long trips and are looking for comfort and durability.

Comfortable and flexible
Maintenance-free
Wide seat for long distances

My ultimate saddle

- Raffaello, 6 November, 2022

I was skeptical, but I changed my mind. The reputation of this saddle is truly deserved. It proves comfortable even after a full day of riding. Certainly not made for those looking for performance (it is a bit heavy), it is suitable for those looking for comfort. So ideal for cycle touring, bickepacking and long gravel rides. Here on Mantel I found it at the lowest price on the internet!

Pros & Cons

Excellent finish and materials

It needs to be well broken in to enjoy it

- Duccio, 28 October, 2022

Nice and light saddle. I was skeptical at first because it was very hard but as I was assured it is softening while still maintaining the shape. Then I use it the more it improves.

Pros & Cons

Excellent quality
I have no more pain
It softens but gradually
Lightweight
High cost
The first few times it is very hard

I am satisfied!

- Marco, 17 June, 2022

Use it only for a few weeks, but seems to be right for me. Of course, I had to get used to something, but I am still convinced. However, it is certainly not suitable for everyone - you should inform yourself a bit in advance. How long the cover lasts, I can not say of course yet, but I am optimistic. Very nicely packaged he was also. I regret nothing! :-)

Hands off - never again.

- Pat, 12 May, 2022

A terrible saddle and has nothing in common with the B17 (which at least passes as reasonably comfortable after sitting in for a long time). The upper material is sticky and on the clothes really stick. Fingers off - this is a visual hipster saddle without function.

I am one hundred percent satisfied

- Stephan, 2 March, 2022

The saddle is fantastic. I have several bikes and each has a Brooks saddle. Brooks has never disappointed me. I use this "Brooks C17 Carved" on my Brompton. I bought it because of its light weight and the fact that it is very easy to maintain. In addition, it has the advantage that its bottom is designed so that the saddle rests securely on the shoulder and so you can carry the wheel without painful pressure point up a flight of stairs. During the first test ride (15 Km) I have forgotten in the meantime that I am sitting on a new, not yet settled saddle. I think this is an excellent sign that the saddle is perfect for me. Not to mention, the really reasonable price: at 79.99 euros, the saddle was significantly cheaper than other offers I researched. The "Brooks C17 Carved" gets 5 stars from me.

Pros & Cons

easy to clean
favorable in price
low weight

Big hup Mantel!

- Cristiano, 21 February, 2022

Let's start using alternative online store services, stop spending on the usual big "A" all the time, let's turn the market around. The guys deserve 5 stars, punctual, accurate, and with ultra-competitive prices. The C17 by Brooks needs no introduction, it is the most used saddle ever by cycle tourists around the world. There must be a reason! :-)

Competitive prices

Great for long-distance gravel

Good comfortable saddle

- Chris, 1 November, 2020

I was sceptical at first. But after a few century rides and no discomfort yet I am sold. It is very comfortable, I've yet to try it on a 200k or a multi day Audax so still not 100% sure but getting there.

Pros & Cons

Bag loops to fit the carradice saddlebag.s n
Cheap price.
Cut out for added comfort.
No treatment needed like a leather saddle.

First impression on short journeys is good

- Stephen, 24 September, 2020

I have only ridden 4 journeys of approx 10 miles on the saddle so far. It felt s little hard on the sit bones each time I started but felt easier as the journey progressed. Feels like it will be fine for long rides but Only time and miles will tell.

Comfortable so far
Robust
Weather proof

Ideal for long distances, comfort and support in one saddle.

- James, 20 July, 2020

I've used a leather Brooks for years and loved every mile of it. But I've found the frame has loosened and the saddle softened like an old sofa. So, it's comfortable but noisy and not as supportive as I'd like. The new Cambium range is the perfect antidote to this. Comfortable from the off, with flexibility built into it there is no need to wait for softening / although, I've never had problems with leather ones. And the fibreglass body gives rigid support. It sounds oxymoronic but trust me, it works.

Great comfortable saddle in a rugged fabric.

- James, 1 January, 2019

Very comfortable saddle with usall brooks design. The all weather aspect relates to a nylon fabric on the saddle which does not attract as much dirt as the cotton cambium. The resin frame will also not corrode. Great saddle!
