Saddles
Saddles are a primary contact point between the rider and the bike and choosing a comfortable bicycle saddle will enable you to ride for hours without getting sore. Our range of saddles range from lightweight performance racing seats from innovative brands, including; SDG, Ergon & many more, as well as comfort saddles for the recreational cyclist.
At Westbrook Cycles, we place great importance on our collection of Bike Saddles. We know only too well that a saddle is the largest point of contact we have with a bike, and therefore - a bike saddle needs to be comfortable, yet fit for purpose suiting riding style, terrain, and preferences. On this page, you will find an excellent range of bike saddles, suitable for all styles of riding. All of these saddles have been handpicked from the world’s best bike saddle manufacturers, and many are crammed with innovative features which contribute to a comfortable journey.
Like everything cycling, customers are faced with an almost never ending choice of saddles to choose from - made from different materials, and boasting different designs, which we will look at in greater detail.
Budget and basic bike saddles are typically made from a mixture of plastic and nylon, using steel rails. Further up the range, there are bike saddles which switch steel for titanium, and unsurprisingly at the very top of the range, sit carbon fibre bike saddles which weigh incredibly little compared to their steel counterparts. These carbon fibre saddles are most often used on lightweight race bikes & those wanting to shave weight off their own road bike build.
Some of the most comfortable bike seats, used by mountain bikers and road bikers alike, include a pressure relief design which has been designed to maximise blood pressure to our most sensitive areas. Other variations include the difference between mens and womens saddles, womens saddles are typically based on the design of a mens saddle - but are wider at the sitting position, whilst being a little shorter too.
You can view our full range of bike saddles on this page, and as always - if you have any questions about the range - our teams will be more than happy to help. The above seats are suitable for a wide range of applications, from aggressive road bike racing - downhill mountain bike racing, right across to leisurely commuter journeys.
Brands which are proudly represented in this collection include Ergon, Fabric, SDG, Brooks England, Burgtec and Selle Italia. Many customers, whilst purchasing an upgraded bike saddle, also use the opportunity to improve and upgrade other contact points on their bike, such as seatposts and handlebars.
