Meet the World’s Most Expensive Saddle!

By Monica Buck
Meet the World’s Most Expensive Saddle!

Normally, one would choose their saddle to match their riding style, but if you’re the kind of rider who cares more about their personal style, you should consider buying one of the Crown Saddles. Whether you choose the Graf Ludwig, Konig Friedrich or the top model – Herzog Eberhardt, you’ll be paying quite a bit of money for that privilege. 1,554 euros for the Herzog, to be precise, which is the same amount as for a brand new Specialized Roubaix SL4. It weighs only 95 grams, but we still can’t justify paying so much dough.

How about you? Would you want to buy one? Let us know in the comments!

The Herzog Ebarhardt (pictured) costs €1.554,62. It’s hand crafted from the supplest leathers and weighs only 95 grams.
The Crown Saddles are the brainchild of German designer Daniel Schlegel. Konig Friedrich (pictured in the photo above) costs €1.386,55.
Graf Ludwig costs €1.050,42.
