Brooks B67

No, this saddle is specifically engineered for an upright riding position, such as on a city bike or cruiser. Its coil spring suspension and wider profile are designed to absorb vibrations and provide comfort for casual riding, rather than the aerodynamic, forward-leaning posture required for road cycling.

Because the B67 uses genuine leather, it will feel firm out of the box. Most riders find it takes about 100 to 200 miles of riding for the saddle to mold to their unique anatomy and reach peak comfort.

Yes, leather saddles need periodic care to stay supple and durable. You should apply Brooks Proofide leather dressing occasionally to keep the material conditioned and protected from moisture, especially if you ride in wet conditions.

The springs are designed to dampen road vibrations and smooth out bumps rather than create a bouncy ride. They provide a subtle, supportive flex that is particularly helpful on rough city streets or uneven paths.

At 830 grams, the B67 is significantly heavier than modern racing saddles made from carbon or plastic. However, this weight reflects the durable steel rails and high-quality leather construction intended for longevity and comfort rather than lightweight performance.
