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

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
  • A leather saddle that molds to the sitting position
  • A saddle with a comfortable sitting position
  • A well ventilated saddle
Cons
  • No
  • None

My buttocks dreamed of it .....

I've only had it for 2 weeks, but after the first few kilometers, you can already feel the comfort of this saddle. As my riding isn't performance-oriented, I don't mind the rather high weight. A perfect saddle for all lovers of aesthetics and comfort.

Pros
  • Aesthetics
  • Brand prestige
  • Comfort after break-in
  • Quality
Cons
  • Running-in, maintenance

Simply perfect!

I chose this model and brand as I read many good reviews. I confirm, I use the bike to do 100km a day and I am fully satisfied with this saddle. Very comfortable and perfect for daily and longer rides. I recommend it! Mantel's shipping service and their customer care are also excellent.

Pros
  • Attention to detail and packaging
  • Highest leather quality
  • The Brooks brand is a guarantee

No more saddle sores

If I have to convince people this saddle takes the shape of your rump so after about 500 km it fits like a glove, never saddle ache again. Still buy Brooks seatpost and lubricate your saddle well before breaking in and after one night rub it up with a dry cloth (top).after breaking in you will never want another one.

Pros
  • Breathable never again a hot saddle
  • English quality
  • Moulds to your rump
Cons
  • Brooks saddle and rain are no friends
  • Price

So glad I bought this saddle.

Needed a replacement saddle for my old Holdsworth Championship that I have renovated and converted to a single speed. Hummed and Haughed for ages. Was put off the prices on eBay and spotted this on Mantel at not much more than second hand ones were changing hands for. I can say this is the most comfortable saddle I've ever had. The top surface is a bit slippy but I think this is due to newness. I am very happy. If you are a tourer or a commuter and can get a Brooks at this price then go for it!

Pros
  • A joy to prepare and maintain.
  • Classic looks.
  • Comfort.
Cons
  • More expensive than other high tech saddles.
  • Requires maintenance.
  • Top surface a little slippy.
