fantastic seat. I have been road riding for ten years. this is the most comfortable seat I have ever tried. if your serious about being comfortable in the saddle for long rides this is it. it built so well you can see it just breathing on its own. it seems to be alive. JK go and buy one now! they are not cheap but you won't need another one for a very long time. these leather works with you, forms to you and in time you won't even notice it at all, its that good! trust me you'll love it. its been a 100 years in the making. wow!

I have a couple of Brooks seats - one is so comfortable that it is literally a sensual experience riding. The other Brooks, about 2 yrs newer, same model, is ok, but clearly has not conformed like the first one. This should come as no surprise to anyone who has worked with leather, but I hadn't. I recently gave a Brooks to my sister who wondered why I was so gung ho about them (bc hers was NOT comfortable out of the box) and asked me about the best way to break them in. Bc of the differences between the 2 I had, I spent some time looking into it and found the usual misinformation on bike blogs about the best way to break them in, most of them saying that it just takes a long, long, long time and then they become comfortable and then they're the best saddles you've ever ridden and they last forever. That should have opened my eyes, but it didn't until I watched how the Brooks saddles are actually made (search youtube for it). What they do to form them is to .. soak them in water, then compress them, and then bake them. That's interesting, I thought. And then I remembered that I had let the 1st saddle get rained on once or twice and then ridden on it... light bulb.. So I dampened the underside of my newer seat with water, staying away from the front and rear rivets , then started out on what I was intending to be a 2 hour bike ride to try to beat the leather into submission with my sitz bones. I went thru some mud about 5m into the ride and while I was cleaning it off, I glanced at the seat and it had already started to deform/conform. I rode another 30m and the new seat has essentially the same shape as the old seat, & it's notably more comfortable Do note that Brooks puts on a semi-waterproof coating on top and if you allow it to get too wet from beneath, it will tend to lift off, so dampen it very gently from beneath. It doesn't take much. Why Brooks doesn't mention this or why bike blogs haven't discovered this I have no idea, but it works astonishingly well and as many say, after they conform to your sitz bones they're by far the most comfy bike seats I've ever ridden and after 30, 40, 50 miles, other parts of me are sore, but my butt is happy. After it dries out, oil the top to keep it from getting wet again, but that wetting and riding combo essentially gives you a custom seat in 15m. And both have lasted really well - the older one is 2 yo and it looks pretty much like new. They're not super light, but for touring/commuting or even racing (if your current saddle is a PITA), can't rec them enough, esp with this super-easy break-in.

Everyone raves, “Brooks saddle, Brooks saddle, get a Brooks saddle!” So I went for it. I spent the same amount on a seat as I spent on the bike it goes on. Also bought the leather conditioner stuff from Brooks to help break it in. Out of the box it feels like wood. It’s hard. You can knock on it and it sounds like an old oak door. When I first sat on it I didn’t think, “this is worth the money” then I went for a ride. 10 miles. It doesn’t scream “super comfortable” but it didn’t feel as bad as I thought. When I finished the ride I was expecting to be walking bow-legged like a cowboy who just drove a herd from the Kansas plains to the Texas stockyards. However, my nether-regions felt strangely OK. Then came another ride, and another. 20 miles, 30 miles, 15, 21. After every ride I feel the same as I did before I got on the bike. This doesn’t make sense. It still feels stiff. A little more broken in maybe but still stiff. I try to ride my other bikes with average, run of the mill saddles and I’m stiff and sore for 2 days. I still don’t understand it, but these saddles are the real deal. Worth the price. The hype is real.

So this magic seat is hard but it's supposed to be incredibly comfortable? It takes hundreds of miles of break in but after that it's nirvana. It's old technology but it's far better than any of the latest and greatest technologies. Hard to believe, right? Here's the deal - the concept of this seat is very simple - it's a hammock seat - meaning instead of sitting on a bunch of padding you sit on a suspension of material. I think the break in factor is an illusion - almost every bike seat I've ever used was uncomfortable at first before getting used to it. So what if people are just getting used to it? I ride motorcycles too - and realized early on that a "plush" seat is horrible after a 2+ hour ride. Why - because what was soft is now creating pressure and bottoming out where it shouldn't. Instead, a harder seat is far superior. Same applies here. So what model to choose? Is this size the same as the narrower or really wide ones? Here's the part they don't tell you - it's all about seating angle. If you ride at a more aggressive angle - you need a narrower seat sized to your sit bones. If you sit upright - you need a wider seat sized to your tuchus. Here's something you can try with your CURRENT seat - without buying anything. Ride 100 yards at the most upright position you can. Stop. Now ride 100 yards at the about a 45 degree angle representing a touring or casual mountain bike. Now ride 100 yards at about a 60 degree angle which represents a more racing/professional/hard core rider position. Which feels best to you? Your seat will tell you which is best. That's the angle the seat was designed for. Now comes the B17. The B17 is the longest running model in the Brooks line - cool, right? It's significantly wider at about 170 mm compared to 140mm for a typical road or mountain bike seat. But the real question is what are your site bones? If you have sit bones that are wider, get the B17 or C19. If you have average build but want comfort, get a B17 or C17. For you narrower people, I have nothing but resentment and fomo so you're on your own. Do you get the B17 if you ride a beach cruiser? No - get a wider model. For some riders it will "work" but not because it's the right model but because it's a happy coincidence with body type. The B17 is for people that want a 45 degree to 60 degree riding angle and have the right sit bones to use it. It's not a "sit up on top" seat. From a pure aesthetic perspective the seat is absolutely gorgeous. The leather is top notch and if it breaks in further I will be ecstatic - but it's already quite comfortable for riding and a huge improvement over my 140mm stock seat. Looking forward to many miles. Are there other seats that would provide just as much comfort? Probably. Is this an awesome seat filled with history and eclectic British style? Oh yeah. I never knew these existed until recently. Knew I had to have one. You do, too. Just pick the right one based on site bones, riding style and riding angle.

This saddle was as hard as a board, but the more you ride on it and you put leather conditioners, the faster it will mold to you , now I’m cycling on it with out padded cycling shorts without any soreness , brooks sells a conditioner to use , but I use mink oil for leather that sells for half the price of the brooks brand, if it would help anyone

I had a Brooks saddle many years ago in college, and had always wanted to get another one, but only if it was for the right bike. I recently did a build on a 1994 Specialized Epic, one of the first production carbon fiber bikes sold in the US, and it seemed like the time to pull the trigger. Not only does it look amazing on the bike with the leather-wrapped handlebars (also a Brooks product), but the comfort is also top-level. It took less than three rides (about 100 miles) for the saddle to break in and become super comfortable. I ride a lot, and do a lot of miles, and saddle comfort is a top priority to me. One of the keys to saddle comfort on long rides is the ability to adjust your position often and easily, and this saddle, with its fairly slick surface, allows you to make micro-adjustments while riding without having to sit up and reposition yourself. Once the leather gets some miles on it, the longitudinal suspension really starts to loosen up and the saddle is a dream to ride. I should note that I always ride with padded cycling bibs, so I can't speak to comfort if you're wearing regular shorts and undergarments with seams... you're definitely going to feel those rubbing if you ride any length of time. But for those who wear padded cycling gear, this saddle quickly becomes very comfortable. To me, the sign of a great saddle is one you never think about, because it creates no discomfort, and this classic and beautiful saddle delivers the goods. I had it on my Wish List for about six months, and one day the price dropped considerably, so I didn't hesitate. Even at normal price it's a deal, but I really scored by being patient. Even if you're not a fan of vintage bikes, this is still a great saddle that will add a lot of comfort and class to your ride.

I wish more instructions were provided instead of having to parse forums for information (minus one star). Having dealt with a fair share of leather goods from being a life long motorcyclist, I ended up paving my own way to make this seat more comfortable. First, I took that overpriced Proofide sample and threw straight into the garbage. Instead, I used my goto for all leather products - a quality Mink oil. I then slathered the bottom of the seat with a thick layer and used a heat gun (careful not to burn the leather) to expediate the absorption process. After 5 cycles of this treatment the leather was already 3x more pliable and now super resistant to the elements (I let the top of the seat ansorb the oil naturally). Next I reduced the seat tension a bit then fitted the seat to my bike. The end result was indeed a super comfortable saddle and great addition to my Rockhopper restomod. There's absolutely no need to submerge the seat in water or any of the other crazy techniques I read on line. Mink oil has been used for ages to protect and soften leather across a wide variety of applications (baseball gloves, leather footwear, riding gear etc). I only saw the Mink oil/ heat technique mentioned once on forums covering the Brooks saddle. Overall, this seat can be made to be really comfortable right out of the box - Brooks does its customers a disservice by not providing customers with some basic instructions which may frustrate some users who aren't familiar with leather goods. Final note - do not forget to register your product for the 10 year warranty. I believe you have a limited time frame to register so that should be the first thing you do should decide to keep the seat.

In view of the development of bicycle technology in the last fifty years, it's hard to believe that a seat designed a hundred years ago might still be a decent design. But based on the reviews here, I bought one. I put it on my bike and took the first ride. My first impression was favorable, even though the seat did not give much in just one ride, as other reviewers have posted; it takes a number of long rides to break in the saddle, apparently, according to most reviewers. But my impression is that the seat on first ride is at least as comfortable as the seat that came with my bike, which was a seat made by Giant on a $1,100 Giant bicycle. I have favorable expectations of the Brooks seat, but I will post an update after a couple hundred miles. Update: I wrote the above review after one ten-mile ride. However, I usually do at least twenty miles per ride, and the Brooks seat was indeed hard on the coño on the second half of my first twenty-miler using it. I transferred the seat to my commuter bike, which I ride only three miles roundtrip to my office. I was hoping to break it in that way with a good many short rides. Now having had the seat for an entire year, the seat seems to be mostly broken in. I'm not as pleased as others seem to be in their reviews, but I have to add that I've never used a bicycle seat that was actually comfortable. The only way to rank a bicycle seat truthfully as "best" would be by saying it was the "least uncomfortable." Second Update: I have had the Brooks seat for almost three years and it is more comfortable than I described in my last update. The comfort level seems to be an asymptote function: it will never reach absolute comfort but instead will be forever approaching closer to it in smaller and smaller increments. It is far more comfortable than the standard seat that came with my $1,100 Giant road bike. I recommend it and raise it to five stars. Considering the high cost of professional bicycle seats, this is a good buy. Third update: original Brooks saddle is still in fine working condition and I expect to use it into my sunset years (I am 64). I have two bicycles and have bought a second Brooks saddle to replace the stock seat on my $1,100 Giant road bike. It's worth the money.
