Description
The Brooks B17 saddle is the iconic leather saddle designed 100 years ago by Brooks for those embarking on epic cycle tours. Which makes this one of the most enduringly popular saddles for serious commuters & long distance bikepackers alike.
Brooks leather saddles are still handmade in England from beautiful and durable 100% vegetable tanned leather. Meaning they will mould and shape individually to you as you ride it. Your saddle will only become more comfortable over time, and that’s why its a great upgrade to any bike!
This is easily the most popular saddle Brooks bring in to Australia, and is our favourite at Abbotsford Cycles. Working perfectly as a commuter bike saddle, or for the gravel grind, the B17 is always comfortable. If you have ever considered a leather saddle, this is the one to try.
