@@r.davies2702 I rode 1500 km off road down the length of New Zealand. Then the same saddle (different bike) 5600 km mixed surface across the US. It’s only now getting a little softer than I’d prefer. Still very comfortable, but now it might bounce a bit when I put down some power
I experienced the same exact thing. I have a c17 on my salsa fargo which has high handlebars and I used it for long rides/bikepacking and it was very comfy. 2 years ago I got a giant revolt advanced, much more aggressive seating position. I got a c15 for it and rode it for about 1/2 a season and kept getting numb, ended up switching it out to a wtb sl8
Thing is mate, if you are in the saddle touring, I would always consider comfort and the durability seems excellent. I'm suffering still with saddle comfort, so still looking for a alternative.
I purchased this saddle about a year ago after seeing you used it for ultra-racing. Funny thing is I had the same issues after installing aerobars and then tried a used Specialized Power saddle and have been comfortable ever since. Ironically, I see you use a Power saddle now as well :)
A really flexible saddle? My C15 is (was...) a torture device for my ischeal tuberosities - no matter how I adjusted the setback. My leather Swift though, is sublime.
200 grams is the difference between a medium or large english breakfast...or 1 or 2 bowls of cornflakes... Just sayin' - never understood the paranoia about weight on a road bike...
It’s because in racing, every hundredth of a second counts. The bike industry has convinced non competitive cyclists that they need the same stuff the pro racers use.
I have the C17 All Weather Cambium and it's a terrific saddle.
Yeah really good saddle for sure
Cut-out or not? I understand the difference in flexibility between the two is dramatic.
For mixed terrain/gravel bikepacking, the C15 all weather with cut out was very good for me
It’s a great saddle but the cut out version I think is much much better
Curious to know if you still have it and how it's working out for you, longer term.

@@jonpoon3896 Wow, thanks. So it's worth the money then, an investment rather than just a fashion statement. Thanks again 👍

Haha really! The other comments are similar

Thanks mate :) they are an amazing saddle

Hahah seriously? Yeah I use the PRO version of the power saddle! They are just so so so so good

Maybe you can grow tomato plants like Kevin Costner had growing on the Trimaran boat used in Waterworld.
😂😂😂
The outback is the best 🔥😭
Yeah awesome bike haven’t ridden mine in ages though

In the grand scheme it’s very little but adds up over time :)

I have the same thoughts about that weight issue which always seem to pop up. Just loose a 500 grams or 1 kilo of body weight, what is the problem?
