Rivet saddles are suspension saddles. We use thick American leather from the Midwest and sling it over strong frame materials. A Rivet is made to form to your unique anatomy, but made firm so it will hold its shape. Designed to provide support to you while in the saddle, Rivets don’t sag or have fender flare.
It’s not about gender, but about anatomy. Yours. Rivet saddles come in different widths, because riders — male and female — come in all shapes and sizes. We are confident that one of our saddles will suit your anatomy and riding style.
The leather we use is waterproofed during the tanning process. It is built right into the leather, so you can avoid the mess of smearing waterproof goop onto your saddle and onto your shorts.
Because we are distance cyclists, we do research and development every time we go out for a ride. We also listen to folks as they talk about their gear. As a result, we have taken the best from the best, while working to solve the problems riders tell us they experience.
Each Rivet is handcrafted by our expert “leather whisperer” ensuring excellent quality in each saddle. We have paid as much attention to how a Rivet looks as to how it performs. You can see it in every saddle.
We want you to be on the right saddle. So we have demo saddles available to try out with minimal cost to you. If you like it – you buy it, and if it’s not the right saddle for you, we’ll go from there to get it right. If nothing works, we’ll let you get on with your search for the perfect saddle. Minimal cost, low hassle, high pay-off.

Meet Debra Banks, Head Riveteer. Deb started Rivet Cycle Works through her passion for cycling that included an exhaustive (and unsuccessful) search for the right saddle for her adventures (Read More). She rides more miles than most of us drive our cars in a year. Riding is her perfect laboratory for testing and refining saddle prototypes and ideas. Her plan is to make cycling gear that helps you go your distance, whether it’s around town or around the world.
