Brooks Saddles B68 Bicycle Saddle (Men’s)
Brooks Saddles B68 is the newest versions of the B66 models. This saddle features the same leather tops as the B66 and B66 S, but without springs. It is the ideal saddle for modern full suspension city bikes. The black leather saddle features tubular steel rivets, and weighs 560 grams.

5 Stars Another classic from Brooks
I usually prefer Brooks Flyers to Brooks B17s because of the coil springs and the additional comfort they give. I figured I’d give unsprung saddles one more chance and I purchased the B68. Mounted it today and went for a ten mile ride. Once I dialed in the settings (nose very slightly north of level…), it became clear this one’s a keeper. The leather was very hard to the touch like all Brooks saddles but maybe because of the wider frame, it seemed much more supportive and comfortable right out of the box than any B17 I’ve ever had. Pebbled texture looks beautiful. It even weighs less than the Flyer it replaced. Awesome addition to the Brooks lineup.
