Leather Bicycle Saddle
Unsprung leather saddle versus sprung non-leather saddle?
I have a sprung bicycle saddle with springs. It is comfortable and the springs helps absorb the bumps. My bicycle came with a non-sprung gel seat but I found the ride too hard and upgraded to a spring saddle.
How comfortable are leather saddles in comparison? Do they have a little bit of spring to absorb the bumps? (ie. the leather ones without the springs).
Leather saddles are the most comfortable for most people some have sold them after 100kilometres did not like
The b17 unsprung model mentioned is for standard road bikes on made roads the other sprung model for a ladies has the same leather top of a ladies b17 and is suited for where more weight is on the saddle IE upright position or heavier person and rougher roads they come in men’s type as well.
The big thing is that as they wear in over the time used and they adjust to the shape of the riders butt.
When you get that you never sell just transfer from bike to bike.
Only negative thing is have to keep dry and have to cover saddle when in the rain.
the sprung saddle i think you are talking about will have pressure will be uncomfortable after only short rides and is NOT a very comfortable saddle really.

Fi’zi:k Kurve Bull Saddle $254.99 Fi’zi:k Kurve Bull Saddle. At first glance, the Fi’zi:k Kurve Bull saddle doesn’t look much different than most other minimalist bicycle saddles. But flip it over and you’ll see that it’s a different animal entirely. Instead of the typical 2-piece rail, the Kurve has a unique, 1-piece circular rail, which supports the shell along its perimeter, but leaves the balance of the saddle suspended. Essentially a modern-day take on the classic Brooks leather saddle’s padding-less system, the Kurve is an unusually flexible saddle that, instead of relying on foam cushioning for comfort, continually adjusts and conforms to the cyclist’s anatomy while it’s in motion, preventing pressure points. For even more customization, the Kurve is supplied with two tuners (hard and soft), which allow you to adjust the saddle’s flex characteristics. Similar in shape to the Fi’zi:k Aliante, the Kurve Bull is part of Fi’zi:k’s Spine Concept series and designed for riders with limited flexibility. |
