From the Brooks FAQ:
"What is the maximum rider weight for a Brooks saddle?
There are no definitive (or published) weight limits for a Brooks Saddles; There are other factors to be considered, such as the riding style of the user, the type of terrain frequented etc. Brooks do offer three heavy duty models; B33, B135 and B190. These are recommended for riders who weight in excess of 20 stones (280 pounds, or 127 kilograms)."

FWIW the OP previously posted that he weighed 255 pounds.
i was told by a brooks employee at a factory tour some years back, when I specifically asked about them. For clarity he wasn’t talking about a specific model, nor did I ask about one. It was a general question and the worker said that if you’re heavy enough they can bottom out. Also, you specifically listed the heavy duty models, but conveniently didn’t mention models like the flyer, b66,b67, conquest. Which don’t have the triple rail double-coiled springs. Two very different designs with different weight limits. Also, I didn’t suggest the OP would bottom any brooks saddle out, it was a general statement. If you’re going to counter my statement, great, but at least be fair and balanced. Don’t try to slyly accuse me of false info, while purposely being selective in your counter.
