thankss.
Yep it is a popular one. Me personally I have at least 5 Cambium saddles mostly C17 Carved (though one wider C13 on the road bike) and they are fantastic. No break in time with comfort out of the box and no animal abuse needed for a saddle which is also great, plus the new All-Weather Cambiums can handle rain even better.
However buy a saddle that is the right width and shape for your sit bones. When this whole crisis is over and fitters are doing their thing again check with them and help them guide you to a good saddle. What my butt likes may not be the same.
