Designed to complement your favourite folding bike, the C17 Porter features a hidden handle beneath the nose of the saddle, making it easier to grasp, lift, and move your bike once folded, whether you're getting on and off a train, stowing it in the boot of a car, or carrying it back to your apartment.

Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)
What is a Cambium saddle?
Cambium saddles are made from vulcanised natural rubber, providing flexible performance while riding, reducing impact and vibration, and offering a better road feel than traditional foam or gel saddles. The construction of Cambium mimics that of a leather saddle, thus providing a similar 'hammock-like' comfort. Cambium requires no maintenance, meaning you don't need to adjust saddle tension. Similarly, the materials we use are not affected by rain. Cambium is also available in a cut-out version (Carved), suitable for riders who wish to reduce perineal pressure or seek a more flexible saddle.
How should I care for and maintain my Cambium?
For the Cambium range, we recommend regularly checking that the rivets are still secure. Over time, due to road vibrations, the rivets may loosen, although this is rare. Remember, these saddles are hand-assembled in the factory, meaning all maintenance can be done manually.
What if my saddle squeaks?
A squeaking saddle usually means there is friction between the front rail and the rubber surface. Applying a small amount of grease can relieve this problem. Additionally, noise may occur at the point where the rails contact the small black rubber plugs on the rear base. In this case, the saddle can be reassembled, and a small amount of grease applied at the contact points.
