Brooks B67

No, the B67 is specifically designed for an upright riding position, such as on city bikes or Dutch-style commuters. Its wider shape and spring suspension are optimized for comfort rather than aerodynamics or high-performance pedaling efficiency.

Yes, like all Brooks leather saddles, the B67 will feel firm initially. Over the first few hundred miles, the leather will gradually conform to your unique anatomy, eventually providing a custom fit that is exceptionally comfortable.

The B67 uses standard single steel rails, making it compatible with the vast majority of modern seat posts. You should have no trouble mounting it to a standard clamp system.

To keep the leather supple and protected from the elements, you should apply Brooks Proofide dressing periodically. This helps nourish the leather and prevents it from drying out or cracking over time.

While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. If you park your bike outside in the rain, it is best to use a saddle cover to prevent the leather from soaking up water, which can cause it to stretch or lose its shape.

At 850g, the B67 is significantly heavier than modern synthetic or carbon saddles. This weight is a result of the durable steel rails, the spring suspension system, and the thick, high-quality leather construction.
