I did find, though, that I was slipping forward, so we tilted it up just a tad before my next ride and it wouldn’t surprise me if I tilt it up just a fraction more when everything’s sorted out.

The strong steel chassis and handmade leather coverings are designed to last a lifetime, making Brooks one of the best value-for-money saddles available in the long run! So, what’s the verdict?

Brooks B67 Saddle

A new saddle should be treated with Brooks Proofide Leather Dressing to help assist the ""breaking-in"" process. Proofide also helps to keep the leather supple as it is carefully formulated from special ingredients to condition, preserve and shower proof your saddle. Brooks Proofide is the only substance that should be used to take care of your saddle. Bicycle saddles play a crucial role in providing comfort and support during long rides, and the Brooks Saddle Company has been a renowned name in the cycling industry for over a century. Founded in 1866, Brooks has established itself as a symbol of craftsmanship and quality, consistently delivering exceptional products that cater to the needs of cyclists worldwide. With a rich heritage and a commitment to innovation, Brooks has become synonymous with luxurious and durable saddles that stand the test of time. The B67 saddle's frame is constructed using durable steel, which adds stability and longevity to its design. The steel frame not only ensures the saddle's ability to withstand the rigors of frequent use but also contributes to its classic aesthetic. The combination of the leather cover, wider shape, and steel frame creates a saddle that is both visually appealing and built to last. Brooks leather saddles are not waterproof, which is good for sweat and moisture absorption but bad for long-term care. If you expect to ride often in wet weather you should occasionally apply Brooks’ Prooftide dressing to avoid water damage. Do they live up to the hype? The B67 comes in four models, standard, short, softened and softened short. It’s an upgrade of the traditional sprung B66 model, built for comfort with two rear coil springs and an upright seating position.

The various different Cambium versions have different widths and cutouts depending on preference. Unlike leather saddles, they require less maintenance. Given the burgeoning popularity of e-bikes, it’s easy to see why Brooks went down this route. If you own an e-bike (or are considering investing) this saddle is for you.Timeless Aesthetic: Beyond its functional features, the Brooks B67 saddle boasts a timeless aesthetic that adds a touch of elegance to any bicycle. The combination of the leather cover, wider shape, and sleek steel frame creates a saddle that not only performs well but also looks great. Whether you ride a vintage cruiser or a modern road bike, the B67 saddle's classic design blends seamlessly with various bike styles.

The Team Pro is similar to the B17, with a slightly shallower top and hand-hammered copper rivets. It also comes in a Titanium version or one with a Chromed steel base.

There is no debate in the cycling community more contentious than that of the great Brooks Saddle Debate (okay except maybe helmets, but let’s avoid that one!) Brooks has been making bicycle saddles since before “Pa fell off the bus”, which Brits will know means a very long time! Considering these factors, the Brooks B67 saddle offers excellent value for the money. Its durability and ability to provide a comfortable and enjoyable ride, even on long journeys, make it a worthy investment for cyclists seeking a high-quality and long-lasting saddle. By choosing the Brooks B67, riders can expect a premium riding experience that enhances their comfort, supports their adventures, and adds a touch of timeless style to their bike. Leather Cover: One of the standout features of the B67 saddle is its high-quality leather cover. The leather is not only visually appealing but also offers excellent durability and a unique level of comfort. As the rider spends more time on the saddle, the leather naturally molds to their shape, providing a personalized fit that enhances comfort. It's worth noting that the leather requires proper care and maintenance to ensure its longevity. Arguably the most popular saddle in the Brooks range, the B17 has barely changed its design for over 100 years. It has a traditional steel frame with riveted leather and three air-holes for ventilation. There are several varieties available, including an aged, narrow, and female version, as well as a B17 Imperial and B17 Titanium version.
