Brooks England

Brooks England makes bicycle saddles, bags, grips, bar tapes, accessories, spare parts and maintenance parts. Its saddle portfolio includes leather touring and racing models, including the B17, plus Cambium saddles with vulcanised natural rubber tops. The range serves road, gravel, mountain, urban, touring and e-bike riders, with models offering anatomical cut-outs, pressure relief, springs, titanium components and hand-hammered copper rivets. Its bicycle luggage assortment includes saddle, frame and handlebar bags, panniers, backpacks, tote bags and baskets, along with travelling, commuting and shopping collections.

The company traces its bicycle saddle origins to 1878, after John Boultbee Brooks developed a leather alternative to the wooden saddles then in use. It has made saddles in England since 1866, and its saddle range is handmade in Smethwick, England. Vegetable-tanned leather, natural rubber, organic cotton, steel, aluminium and copper are used across its products. The B17 was introduced in the 1890s and remains a touring and trekking model. Eligible leather saddles can receive a ten-year guarantee when registered within three months of purchase, covering manufacturing defects under stated terms. Brooks England is part of Selle Royal Group S.p.A.
