Dedication that pays off: the perfect start with your new Gusti Leather saddle
One thing, before we start: Leather saddles are the ultimate in comfort and unique fit. However, you need to break in your new leather saddle to ensure that it’s comfortable for you—this is especially true for our saddles that don't have suspension. Breaking your saddle in can take between 150 and 500 km, depending on the saddle and how regularly you use it. It sounds like a lot, but if you break the distance down, take your commute to work, for example, this process doesn’t take much time and is relatively painless.
Your body plays an important role when shopping for bike saddles, as male and female anatomy differs significantly. The distance between the support areas is crucial to ensure your saddle fits well. They’re usually further apart on women’s bikes, resulting in women’s saddles being wider than men’s. It’s also important that you choose a saddle that fits your bike. Narrow saddles are best suited to sporty bikes and wider saddles are better for city bikes.
Goatskin leather, cowhide leather or buffalo leather: which should you choose?
Our saddles come in three different types of leather. You can choose between different styles of saddle as well as different types of leather: goatskin leather, cowhide leather and buffalo leather.
Goatskin leather is a little more rigid at first, but if you use these products regularly, they’ll soften quickly. Our products made of cowhide or buffalo leather are stronger than those made of goatskin leather due to the nature of the material. This leather maintains its rigid structure and softens naturally over time. Decide for yourself which leather best meets your needs.

Sporty, dynamic shape with long shaft and narrow seat surface for your racing bike, trekking bike or mountain bike
Metal springs provide an extra element of comfort on your saddle, narrow shaft and wide seating area that distribute weight evenly on long journeys, perfect for your city bike
