Saddle BROOKS CAMBIUM C13 145 mm Black

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

Despite its race-oriented profile, the C13 doesn't sacrifice comfort. It still uses the vulcanized natural rubber platform for which Brooks is renowned. This material acts as a natural suspension, absorbing the road vibrations that rigid plastic saddles usually transmit to the rider. With its refined profile and high-end finish, it's the ideal partner for the most high-performance carbon or titanium frames.

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

Is it much stiffer than the C15? The carbon frame is stiffer, which enhances performance. However, the rubber chainring remains flexible, which means you retain "Brooks" comfort even on a racing saddle.

Why no foam padding? The very design of the saddle (the rubber stretched over the frame) eliminates the need for foam. Unlike foam, which eventually settles, vulcanized rubber retains its cushioning properties for the life of the saddle.

Is it suitable for Gravel? Yes, many cyclists use it in competition Gravel for its ability to filter out micro-vibrations while remaining very light for relaunching.
