The folks at Brooks have been producing the B17 Standard Saddle for over 100 years. Needless to say, we feel they have a pretty good idea of what they're doing. Ideal for cruising and touring, the B17's full-grain leather cover is built to last many years, and it will mold to your shape and riding style over months of use, providing maximum comfort and durability. This saddle features steel rails to absorb shock and reduce vibrations on rough roads or mountain passes. The abrupt taper between the rear and nose sections helps to eliminate inner-thigh rubbing and chafing, and the wide rear section lends support for long days in the saddle.
