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 position. For example, wider saddles with springs are ideal for an upright, 90-degree posture. Medium widths are 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 position, the narrower the saddle.
Why do I need to break in my leather saddle?
Due to the tanning process and the extensive treatment during the shaping process in our factory, new leather is tough. This makes the fibers very strong, but also quite stiff. "Breaking in" is the process by which the saddle leather becomes soft and more flexible. 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 the leather doesn't sag too low, as this can cause it to touch the metal structure and potentially lead to saddle failure, not to mention discomfort as you might be sitting on the upper rails of some models or even the seatpost itself.
10-Year Warranty
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 marks from the handcrafting process will also be present, making each one unique. Additionally, the saddles use traditional materials such as iron and copper, and minor oxidation is normal, adding to their vintage style.
