The Details

The Brooks B17 is Brook's flagship model. 

The B17 is the classic saddle from Brooks. Other models have come and gone, but the B17 has been there since the beginning. Simple, durable, comfortable and beautiful. This version of the B17 Imperial has been designed specifically for women with a central cut out to reduce perennial pressure. The "registered cutting", as can be read in the 1890 catalogue, said to be "a sure preventive to all perineal pressure". Features black steel rails, chamfered sides and hand hammered copper rivets for a great finishing look. The hide used on this saddle provides natural ventilation to keep you comfortable on those long rides during the summer months. Adding to the finishing look of the B17 the imperial has lace detail and an imperial cut, which looks great underneath the Logo on the sides. 

Our Verdict

The Brooks B17 is the classic and longest running saddle from Brooks featuring the all important central cut-out first designed by them over 100 years ago.
