Why choose a leather saddle?
A. We feel that leather saddles are the best choice for serious cyclists. Racing cyclists who compete in short distances are better suited to a plastic saddle, but all other regular cyclists, particularly commuters or long distance cruisers can truly benefit from the comfort of leather. To those unfamiliar with a leather saddle, it may appear that it takes a long time to break in the saddle or it is time consuming to maintain the leather, but the opposite is true. You can purchase a saddle cover to further protect the leather from the elements and also protect your rear from getting wet. If you follow the instructions to caring for leather saddle, you will soon be glad that you didn’t go for the easy, mainstream plastic alternative. Quality leather wins every time.
