How to choose the right Brooks Saddle
When it comes to choosing a saddle, it can be extremely challenging to figure out what you need. A good quality saddle is not cheap, and it can be difficult to commit to something you haven’t sat on.
But Brooks saddles are some of the best you can buy. So even if you are unsure, you are in the right place.
Brooks Saddle’s have a numbering system refers to the width of the saddle. The width of the saddle reflects both the width of your sit bones, and the riding position you are in.
In this case, the B17 Short is a pretty standard saddle designed for a broad range of cycling disciplines. This makes it the ideal saddle for your commuter bike, your road bike or gravel bike.
