Then we would like to introduce you to the saddles from Brooks. Absolutely high quality and a feast for the eyes, these will delight you from the very first moment. We will tell you what makes these saddles special and what special features you can expect.

Brooks saddles: craftsmanship that inspires

Is your bike not just a means of transport for you to get from A to B? Do you place a lot of value on style and quality? Then you should equip your bike with a high-quality saddle. Brooks saddles are perfect for this. Made from real leather and using traditional craftsmanship, they not only look absolutely stylish, but you will also be impressed by their comfort. Most of the Brooks saddles are made from real leather. Recently, however, the saddles have also been available in natural rubber and organic cotton. Brooks is one of the most well-known saddle manufacturers in the world. They have been manufactured in Birmingham, England, since 1866.

Which Brooks saddle is right for me?

Have the advantages of Brooks saddles convinced you? Then you just have to choose one of the many models, which is not so easy given the large selection. The Brooks B17 saddle is the manufacturer's flagship product, with which you can't go wrong. Designed for both trekking and mountain bike tours, this saddle is also ideal for longer tours. This model is available for both men and women. Both are decorated with hand-hammered copper rivets, making them a feast for the eyes. Elaborately handcrafted in England, you can expect a saddle of perfection that you have certainly never experienced before. This saddle has been available for more than 100 years and was first presented in the 1898 catalog. The saddle is made of high-quality leather. To ensure that you enjoy it for as long as possible, you should treat it with Brooks Proofide care grease before using it for the first time. This makes it supple and weatherproof. The B17 leather saddle is available in a total of four versions and different colors. This means that there is a saddle to suit every taste and need. The B17 Short saddle, for example, is ideal for women and small riders. The B17 Softened, on the other hand, is a pre-treated saddle that scores with the best possible riding experience from the very first ride. The B17 Narrow is the narrowest of all Brooks saddles. This racing saddle was first introduced in 1910 and offers the best conditions for the race track. What all saddles have in common is their ability to adapt to the body and, with that, optimized pressure distribution. So that the saddle can adapt optimally to your body, you naturally have to break it in first. Practice has shown that it has adapted optimally to you after 500 to 800 kilometers.

Cambium C17 is another recommended saddle from Brooks. Its special feature: It is not made of leather, but of vulcanized natural rubber and organically grown cotton. This material has several advantages over leather. It is flexible, maintenance-free and waterproof. It also follows the rider's movements and thus offers exceptional riding comfort. The construction of these saddles is the latest on the market. You can imagine the principle as a hammock. Vibrations and shocks are absorbed as best as possible with these saddles made of natural materials. In terms of shape, this saddle is based on the flagship, the B17.

When you buy a Brooks leather saddle, you don't have to make any compromises, but get exactly the saddle that suits you and your needs. The following saddles are part of the Brooks product range:

• Sport saddles
• touring saddles
• comfort saddles
• Brooks Cambium

If you are looking for a particularly simple saddle, we can highly recommend the Brooks Cambium. Handmade in Italy, this is a stylish companion in any weather. As a travel or touring saddle, however, we can recommend the Flyer model with the hand-hammered rivets. These travel saddles are equipped with springs for all-day comfort. This popular saddle from Brooks is perfect for adventure cycling as well as for commuting and long-distance tours. The leather model is the same as the B17 saddle; supplemented by additional suspension.

Why a Brooks leather saddle from England?

Brooks leather saddles are made in England using elaborate and individual handwork. It can take up to three days to complete a single saddle. First, the leather is cut into shape and stored in water for about an hour. It is then shaped for the first time and then dried for two hours. The next step is to assemble the frame, the real special feature of Brooks saddles. This springy base provides the characteristic riding feel. Both the base and the springs are made from steel or titanium wire. If the leather loses tension over time, it can easily be re-tightened with an adjusting nut. Traditional machines are used to manufacture Brooks saddles, some of which are already a hundred years old. The classic, the B17 saddle, was first produced in 1890 and has been built almost unchanged since then.

Here again are the most important product features that speak in favor of buying a Brooks B17 saddle:

• durable, vegetable-tanned leather
• characteristic lateral stamp
• Brooks backplate
• steel tube rivet
• adapts individually to the body shape
• lasting comfort
• breathability

All Brooks saddles are characterized by their robust material and therefore last several bicycle lifetimes. It is therefore worth investing in such a saddle. The timeless design combined with the incomparable comfort makes Brooks bicycle saddles an indispensable companion for the demanding rider. You can also tell how high-quality these are by the extended 10-year guarantee that is available on every bicycle saddle from Brooks.
