Brooks B67

No, the B67 is designed specifically for upright riding positions, such as city commuting or casual touring. Its wide profile and sprung suspension are optimized for comfort rather than the aerodynamic, forward-leaning posture required for road cycling.

Yes, like all Brooks leather saddles, the B67 will feel firm initially. It requires a break-in period where the leather gradually molds to your unique sit bones, eventually providing a custom, supportive fit that lasts for years.

You will need to treat the leather periodically with Brooks Proofide dressing to keep it supple and protected. It is also important to keep the saddle dry, as leather can stretch or warp if it becomes saturated with water.

No, the B67 features a solid leather top without a cutout. Because it is designed for an upright position where your weight is distributed differently than on a racing saddle, many riders find the solid surface provides ample support without needing a relief channel.

At 850 grams, the B67 is significantly heavier than modern synthetic or carbon saddles. This weight is a trade-off for the durability of the steel rails and the classic sprung suspension system, which prioritizes comfort over weight savings in city riding over weight savings.
