Brooks Cambium - Available Now

The new Brooks Cambium saddles are now available! I unfortunately didn't get the chance to test one out, but I would really consider purchasing one. There are two versions currently available - a mens and women's - and while it's not made of leather, it looks to be extremely comfortable while still maintaining the classic Brooks aesthetic. The shape looks great, it's maintenance free, covered in organic cotton canvas, completely waterproof, and also vegan. Essentially, it's a Brooks saddle without any of the downsides of a typical Brooks saddle. There will be an even narrower race-oriented version available soon too. I'm so curious to see one in person!

The Brooks Cambium

Brooks will soon be introducing a brand new "vegan friendly" saddle called the Cambium (C17). I am not really opposed to using leather products, but from what I can see, this saddle looks to be a very promising alternative. It's made from a "uniquely flexible natural rubber and organic cotton top", which makes this saddle maintenance free and perhaps a bit less delicate than a traditional leather Brooks. The shape and look reminds me of the classic Selle San Marco Regal saddles. I'd love to get a hold of one of these, and you can register to test one here.
