Classically sprung for supreme comfort, The B66 is a leather saddle made for traditional “seat pillar”-style seatposts. A saddle for city bikes, Dutch-style bikes and traditional, upright touring bicycles, the B66 is made with double rails to fit perfectly with a traditional seat clamp. A comfortable bike seat, vegetable tanned leather is used for flexible, hammock-like performance that will age beautifully over time, moulding to the shape of the rider.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The B66 model comes with a double-rail system which will NOT fit modern micro-adjustable seat posts designed for single rails. With double-rail saddles such as the B66, a clamp is attached to the saddle rails first which is then attached to the seat post - this design is more common on older classic styles of bikes.
Special note: The B67 and B66 models are exactly the same shape but the B67 has a single rail design for modern micro-adjustable seat posts whereas the B66 has a double rail design for use with the clamp. Depending on what seat post you have on your bike you should choose accordingly.

FAQs:
Which is the right Brooks saddle for me?
Our leather saddles come in different shapes and styles depending on what kind of bike or riding position. For example, a wider saddle with springs is ideal for an upright, 90-degree posture. Middle widths are often used for touring or commuting when the spinal angle of the rider is in a 45 to 60 degrees position. As a general rule, the more athletic the riding position, the narrower the saddle.

Why do I need to break in my leather saddle?
New leather is tough because of the numerous treatments of the tanning process, as well as the moulding process done at our factory. This leaves the fibres very strong, but also quite rigid. “Breaking in” is the process in which the saddle leather becomes supple and more flexible. Time, effort and care hold the key to bringing your leather saddle to its best condition. Primarily through riding, the leather will mould to the shape of your anatomy and become more flexible. Over time, the natural movement of the leather will act like a hammock whilst riding. But be careful to make sure that the leather does not sag too low, as this will cause it to contact the metal structure and could lead to saddle failure, not to mention being uncomfortable, as you could be sitting on the upper rails of some models or even the seat post itself.
