Saddle BROOKS CAMBIUM C19 CARVED Black

The BROOKS C19 Carved Saddle is designed for those who don't want to compromise on comfort, even during daily commutes or long rides. At 184 mm wide, it offers a generous seating platform, ideal for city bikes, cargo bikes and touring bikes where the torso remains upright.

The term "Carved" indicates the presence of an ergonomic central opening. This clever cut-out fulfils two essential functions: it eliminates any pressure on the perineal area and increases the overall flexibility of the saddle plate. By combining the width of the C19 with the flexibility of the cut-out, Brooks has created a saddle that acts like a natural shock absorber, capable of absorbing the most uneven pavements and degraded roads.

For whom is the "Carved" version recommended? It's ideal for cyclists with perineal sensitivities or those who find traditional saddles too stiff. The cut-out allows the two sides of the saddle to move independently, making it "softer" than the solid version.

Is it compatible with an electric bicycle (VAE)? It's an excellent choice for VAEs. Since we often sit longer on an electric bike, the increased comfort of the C19 Carved effectively prevents sitting pain.

Does the opening weaken the saddle? No. The vulcanized rubber structure is extremely robust. Brooks has reinforced the edges of the cut-out to ensure that the saddle retains its original tension and shape for many years.

How do I know whether I need a C19 or a C17? It's a question of position: if your handlebars are higher than your saddle (upright position), choose the C19. If your handlebars are at the same height as or lower than your saddle (inclined position), the C17 will be more suitable.
