Brooks B17 Men’s Saddle | Heritage Comfort for Enduring Rides

Experience legendary support on your longest journeys with the Brooks B17 Antique Brown saddle – the undisputed icon of touring and trekking comfort since 1898. Designed specifically for dedicated men’s cycling enthusiasts tackling demanding terrain like mountain trails or cross-country expeditions, this saddle embodies over a century of refined craftsmanship.

Crafted from premium vegetable-tanned leather, the B17 isn’t just a saddle; it’s an investment in personalized comfort. Unlike synthetic alternatives:

  • It molds uniquely to your anatomy: Gradually conforming to your riding position during the break-in period for unparalleled support on multi-day bikepacking adventures or endurance road tours.
  • It breathes naturally: The supple leather offers superior temperature-regulating performance and sweat-wicking properties, keeping you noticeably cooler during intense summer rides compared to plastic-based seats.
  • It’s built for a lifetime: Featuring rugged steel rails (Std clamp compatible) and time-tested construction methods proven through generations of global exploration.

The classic 170mm width provides stable platform support for powerful pedaling over varied landscapes. While it lacks a cut-out design (a testament to its proven ergonomic shape perfected over decades), its renowned resilience ensures consistent performance mile after mile. Weighing a solid 525g on a durable 280mm frame length chassis, this Antique Brown beauty delivers unmatched durability where lightweight composites often compromise.
