Sure, no saddle can be good for everyone. We’re all different shapes, sizes, types of riders, etc. But I give credit to Brooks for making saddles that many do like and that offer a lot of durability. There are a lot of “Italian style” saddles (plastic shell with padding and fabric cover) that don’t suit me and a few do. But the Brooks is more than innocuous to ride. I almost want to use the word “pleasure” to describe the experience, but I don’t want any new to get the wrong idea. Uh oh, did I say too much?
