Test Brooks' new Cambium saddle

Brooks England, the world’s oldest bicycle saddle manufacturer, are inviting 100 people to try their yet-to-be-launched Cambium model. This is Brooks’ first non-leather saddle in a long time and they reckon it’s unlike any other on the market.

As part of Brooks’ final test phase of the new saddle, they will be selecting a diverse group of 100 cyclists worldwide to test the saddle over the next month and offer feedback that will then be published on the Cambium website.

According to Brooks, "The Cambium is made from a uniquely flexible natural rubber and organic cotton top, enhanced by a thin layer of structural textile for added resilience. This vulcanized, waterproof top, which follows the rider’s movements, is immediately comfortable, maintenance-free, and highly abrasion-resistant to offer the longevity for which Brooks is legendary.”

The saddle will not be released for sale until 17 June, hence the enigmatic photography.

Brooks will select men and women of differing body type and age, using a variety of bicycles.

• 33 will be long-time users of Brooks leather saddles.

• 33 will be cyclists who have used both Brooks leather saddles and other saddles.

• 34 will be cyclists who have never used a Brooks leather saddle.
