F.A.Q.
Which Brooks saddle is right for me?
Our leather saddles come in different shapes and styles, depending on the type of bicycle or riding posture. For example, wider saddles with springs are perfect for an upright, 90-degree posture. Medium width is generally used for touring or commuting when the rider's spine angle is between 45 and 60 degrees. In general, the more athletic the riding posture, the narrower the saddle.
Why do I need to break in my leather saddle?
Due to the tanning process and the extensive handling during the
molding process at our factory, new leather is tough. This makes the
fibers very strong, but also quite stiff. "Breaking in" is the
process where the saddle leather becomes softer and more pliable.
Time, effort, and care are key to keeping your leather saddle in
optimal condition. Primarily through riding, the leather will
conform to your body shape and become more flexible. Over time, the
natural movement of the leather will act like a hammock when you
ride. But be careful to ensure that the leather does not sag too
low, as this can cause it to contact the metal structure and
potentially lead to saddle failure, not to mention discomfort, as
you might be sitting on the upper rails or even the seatpost itself
in some models.
10-Year Guarantee
Register your leather saddle on the Brooks website within 3 months of purchase to extend the standard 2-year warranty to a total of 10 years.
Handcrafted by Artisans in England
Brooks England saddles are handcrafted in England. Small cracks may appear on the leather surface during the pressing and shaping process, and traces of handcrafting may also be left, making each one unique. At the same time, the saddles use traditional materials such as iron and copper, and minor oxidation is normal, adding to the vintage style.
