CambiumBrooks wants testers for new Cambium C13 saddle
Brooks is inviting you to be a tester for the new version of its Cambium saddle, the C13.
“This newest evolution is an improved version of a lightweight racing saddle,” says Katharina Schreiber of Brooks. “Like the other Cambium releases, we are organising a testing phase to collect real world feedback before launching on the market.”
We ran a story a couple of years ago when Brooks was looking to select a group of 100 cyclists worldwide to test a previous Cambium model over a month, and to offer feedback.
Now Brooks would like to recruit testers to do a similar job with the Cambium C13.
The Cambium saddles combine the classic Brooks ‘hammock’ saddle design with modern materials.
John Stevenson loved the Brooks Cambium C17 saddle that he review here on road.cc last year, scoring it nine out of 10 and calling it “supremely comfortable”.
Brooks will select testers from those who register at www.brooksengland.com/cambium/c13/

can't add an email address with '_' underscores....??!!

I will happily try one always wanted too. I ride everyday to work and return home using a saddle I've wanted to change for years. I ride an aluminium Surosa and train 200 to 250 a week
I know someone who got to test the last one and keep it, so its not just an email gathering exercise.
i enjoyed being asked both my age range and when i was born... i was too honest, could have still claimed to be 19!
Not sure if this is just free publicity, applied for test of the previous models, didn't even get a response, I've had a Brooks in my stable ever since my first Swallow at the age of fifteen, now 77.
Signed up, but not sure if they'll be keen to have a tester in the southern hemisphere!
If you have adblock, disable it or the email boxes don't appear. Funnily enough adblock also renders Brooks's website useless.
Saddle width....
Mine is certainly in the 135cm or less category as are everybody's (unless elephants now cycle)!
What are great and cheap way to harvest email addresses and valuable data for potential customers.
Email not coming through. Nooooo
Yes please would love to try one out
On the survey, does anyone know what a fist name is?
