5 / 5

For me, a Brooks saddle is a top-quality product.

- Pieter 13 October 2026

I’ve been using a Brooks saddle for years for my cycling enjoyment, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it for the following reasons: - The saddle moulds itself to your bottom after a few rides, ensuring a comfortable ride. - In my experience, a leather saddle also keeps your bottom cooler than a gel saddle. - The saddle lasts for years (durable)

Pros & Cons

Comfortable seating.
Durable

Perfect saddle, wouldn't want anything else.

- Alex 6 January 2026

This is the best saddle ever for me. 10/10 sitting comfort! You do have to ride in for 200km to get the saddle to your seat. This can be a bit awkward sitting, but with me it wasn't too bad. In time it will sag a bit, but then you can tighten the bolt and everything will be fine again. Do carry a saddle cover in a bag or put it underneath, this saddle cannot withstand water. And grease every three months.

Pros & Cons

Best saddle ever
Can be re-tightened in time
Good firmness
Just break in 200km
Needs greasing every now and then

This Brooks saddle completes my" worldtraveler" holiday bike !!!

- Irma 15 April 2025

After purchasing the saddle, I immediately set off on a 100 km cycling trip. I enjoyed cycling without saddle sore, while the saddle still has to form itself to my body and hold my seat. Perfect.

Pros & Cons

A leather saddle that molds to the sitting position
A saddle with a comfortable sitting position
A well ventilated saddle
