Brooks Swift Saddle

Excellent saddle. It took about 1000 miles to break in. Swift seems more rigid than B17 but I could be wrong. This saddle was very comfortable from the start and has only gotten better. There was a very brief period when it was a bit uncomfortable, but it passed very quickly. I used very little Proofide when breaking in. I just got another one for my second bike.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • old

Second place in my life.

This is my second saddle, first from high school on a bike that was stolen. If they left the place, I wouldn't mind. Even if I ride a fancy carbon bike, I stick with what works. I've ridden over 300 miles in three days and have no pain even when I sit down for the first time. Bike the next day - well, the saddle doesn't hurt! Fantastic quality and comfort and it was a conversation starter.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Expensive

In general, an excellent and beautiful saddle

I have to say this is my first Brooks saddle. It was a stock sale and arrived in 'Used - Like New' condition. Aside from the original packaging being slightly wrinkled (but intact), I have to say this item looked and felt like it was brand new. It's really nice with brown leather and copper rivets. In terms of comfort, the leather is really stiff and tough in its brand new condition, almost like it's on a bare plastic case. Regardless, I have to say that the overall shape is really comfortable…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Doubtful
