BROOKS CAMBIUM C13 145 mm Saddle Black

The BROOKS Saddle C13 is the technical flagship of the Cambium range. Developed for demanding road cyclists and competitors, it replaces the traditional steel chassis with a continuous carbon monocoque structure. This technological choice not only significantly reduces weight, but also increases stiffness for optimal power transfer.

Despite its race-oriented profile, the C13 does not sacrifice comfort. It still uses the vulcanised natural rubber top that has made Brooks famous. This material acts as a natural suspension, absorbing the road vibrations that rigid plastic saddles typically transmit to the cyclist. With its refined profile and premium finishes, it is the ideal partner for the most high-performance carbon or titanium frames.

Are the carbon rails compatible with my seatpost? The C13 has 7x9 mm oval rails. Most modern seatposts with side or vertical clamping are compatible, but check whether your clamp requires specific adapters for oval carbon rails.

Is it much stiffer than the C15? The carbon chassis is stiffer, which aids efficiency. However, the rubber top remains flexible, meaning you retain the "Brooks" comfort even on a racing saddle.

Why is there no foam padding? The very design of the saddle (rubber stretched over the chassis) eliminates the need for foam. Unlike foam which eventually compresses, vulcanised rubber retains its cushioning properties throughout the entire lifespan of the saddle.

Is it suitable for Gravel? Yes, many cyclists use it in competitive Gravel riding for its ability to filter micro-vibrations while remaining very light for sprinting out of the saddle.
