The Cambium C17 is a comfortable saddle for commuting, gravel riding and cycle touring thanks to its flexible, vulcanised-rubber top that’s ready for all rides, all roads and all weathers.
Naturally Flexible Rubber
Our Cambium saddles are made from flexible natural rubber, harvested from trees.
All-surface absorption
Designed to absorb shocks and smooth out the ride.
Continuously comfortable
Provides natural comfort for the duration of the ride in all conditions, over all terrain, performing consistently over time and through constant use.
Moves with you
Rubber is a natural substance that reacts to and follows the rider's movements.
There are two key tasks that are essential to properly and optimally maintain your
leather saddle:
Leather condition
We recommend to apply Proofide every 6 months.
How to apply Proofide
- Use a soft cloth
- Apply a thin layer of Proofide to cover the entire upper surface of the leather
- Leave on for a minimum of one hour and allow it to penetrate through the surface
- With a clean, dry and soft cloth, vigorously and thoroughly buff the leather surface until all the remaining Proofide will be removed and a healthy sheen will be returned.
Proofide also acts to soften the leather and, if applied too frequently, there might be risk of over-softening the leather to the point that it will no longer to support the weight of the rider. Because of this, apply Proofide only every 6 months.

Saddle Tension
With time and use, the leather on your saddle will undergo natural stretching, gradually reducing its tension. Without any intervention, the leather will begin to sag and lose its shape, leading to a loss of comfort as well as excess play in the important metal components, risking a shorter saddle lifespan or even frame breakage, or the lifting of rivets from the leather surface.
It is therefore crucial to undertake careful inspections of your saddle every 6 months to look for the signs that the leather has stretched.
《Recognise Stretching》
- Any obvious, deep sagging of the leather when viewing the saddle from the side
- Any perceivable slackness in the saddle assembly found by pressing down on the leather at the rear with the palm of your hand, flex should not exceed more than 5 or 6 mm
《Make an adjustment》
- Work from the front of the saddle
- Use your tensioning spanner
- Make a ¼ or ½ clockwise turn on the tension pin nut (90° or 180°)
- Please watch to ensure that only the nut turns and the pin itself does not.
