Designed and made in our workshop based in beautiful South Burgundy, France, all our saddles present a unique serial number engraved on the brass washer on top of the saddle nose.
For a comfort straight out of the box, we pre-soften the leather but our saddles still require a few hundred kilometers to really break in and conform to your shapes and position.
The design and components of our saddles allow for an easy maintenance. Leather tension adjustment and an eventual disassembly/reassembly is possible with only a 5mm allen key and a TX20 torx key.
Main characteristics :
- Thick vegetable tanned leather
- Highly resistant technical composite backplate and nose parts for flex and vibration dampening.
- Saddle bag loops and M4 threaded inserts in the backplate accross our rando and city models
- Leather attachment points away from the seat area to avoid friction
- Securely fastened and easily removable leather thanks to 7 or 9 stainless screws and brass washers
- Fully serviceable with only 2 standard tools (5mm allen key and TX20 key)
- Patented anti-twisting brace and leather tension system
All our saddles are available with either stainless steel or titanium rails and our touring models are also available with an open leather.
Weight can vary slightly due to leather density.More info & order

A touring saddle by Brethoud, a variation on a theme. De RVS rail by Mente, de Troxjes van de Vars, that is what makes Aubisque. For some background information:
The Col d'Aubisque is a moutain pass in the French Pyrenees and is most famous for the cycling stages of the Tour de France.
The most legendary tale of d'Aubisque is the fall of Wim van Est in 1951. Van Est took too much risk at the decent and fell down a 70 meter cliff. Fortunately he was not hurt badly, but he had to be rescued by tying bicycle tires together. In memory of his fall, a plaque was applied at the bend of his fall. More info & order
