I've oft wondered that. I have a C15 and it's not pointing up. Surely you'd just slide down the back?

Stop kink shaming.

Jan does it.

The advice from Brooks used to be to have the nose and rear level due to the hammock design I think. Otherwise, it does seem a bit pointless/uncomfortable.

Brooks definitely (used to?) recommend that the back section of the saddle is flat, which leaves the front at an upward angle.
I blame Instagram.
I blame Grant Peterson and The iBob mailing list in the 90s.

Why do modern Brooks Wankers have their saddles pointing up their arses?
Because it's comfy?
Dunno if the angle I run my Brook saddles at counts as 'up my arse' but I definitely find slightly nose up more comfortable than totally flat.

Well, they simply sag with use and get into the hammock shape where you're sitting in the middle just like in the horse saddle with nose pointing upwards.

Why do modern Brooks Wankers have their saddles pointing up their arses? LOOK AT ME I RIDE A LEATHER SADDLE.
The OGs in my cycling club with 30 year old Brooks saddles never had them at stupid angles. I blame Instagram.
