The folks at Brooks Heritage Saddles have been producing the B17 Standard Bike Saddle for over 100 years. Needless to say, they have a pretty good idea of what they're doing. The durable full-grain leather cover keeps the B17 Saddle cool on especially warm days, plus it molds to our 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 your long rides. This model features a shorter length overall, designed to better fit female-bodied riders or those looking for a shorter saddle profile.
