I need a saddle that would absorb more shock and road bumps on my Brompton for commuting. I didn’t want to deal with the break and maintenance of a leather saddle so this seemed to be the best option. I brought one and tried it for a few days. Once I got it set up properly, it was comfortable and much better than the standard Brompton saddle on my older 3 speed and the newer Fizik R7 saddle (currently fitted to the 4 speed P Line Brompton). It’s got a lot more “give” than most of my other saddles, probably why it feels more comfortable. I was impressed enough to order a second one for my newer P Line. It’s not a light saddle, but that’s not important to me. It’s worth noting the one I have has a fiber glass rear end and it’s limited to 2.5kg of weight if you are attaching a saddle bag to the loops. I believe there is a more costly version with a metal rear end that might take more weight. I only put a few essential tools in my saddle bag, so not an issue for me. The version I have has a nylon top which has a bit of texture, but is slippery enough to allow movement on the saddle. I have sat on broken in leather Brooks saddles, the C17 is not as comfortable as one of those, but more than good enough for everyday use. Read full review

As a long time user of two B17 saddles and having seen other positive reviews I had high hopes for this Cambium C17. I tried it on a few rides but I could not get it used to it and found it hard and uncomfortable, even with padded shorts. After the last ride I was sore for the next three days. So I would say the C17 is nothing like a B17 for comfort. However many people find them OK so I would recommend trying if possible before buying. I've now bought a Charge Spoon for £18 and it is excellent. Save yourself £50+.
