5 / 5

Top saddle, fast delivery and unbeatable price!

- Hugo 7 March 2024

A saddle that needs no introduction. Great for long-distance travel or everyday comfort (once you've got the hang of it). The best price I found was on Mantel and delivery was super fast!

A legendary saddle manufactured continuously since 1896. Comfort that can be customised over time to suit the shape of your buttocks.

Good looks, good seat.

- Jos 11 February 2024

If you're reading this, you probably already know Brooks saddles. It's a nice addition on my trekking bike. It's my first Brooks and I don't regret it. Ridden about 500 km on it now. It's soft, nice, firm and comfi and you keep it on for a very long time without sore bottom. When in doubt, buy it.

Pros & Cons

Good looks on my bike
Perfect fit for long rides
Soft seat on the buttocks
Just break it in. Mile or 150. Easy to do.
Requires a bit of love and maintenance

4 / 5

Seat is hard, slowly improving.

- Han 5 February 2024

It takes some time to find the right adjustment, the first rides are already better than the previous saddle but breaking in is definitely necessary. Maybe I should have opted for the variant with notch or soft leather, or maybe not; it will last longer.

Pros & Cons

Beautiful leather
Seats better than plastic
I cannot yet say whether it is a success
Really needs running in
Requires maintenance

Good saddle but with flaws.

- Paul 14 October 2023

Saddle needs to be ridden in. After some time it fits like a glove. Weak point saddle tensioner nut can break. Bridge also proved a weak point after years.

Pros & Cons

After 400 km in it as a cast
Beautiful
Must not get wet
Weak saddle tensioner adjustment bolt. Can break off
