## Overview

The Brooks England B17 Bike Saddle is a legendary leather bike seat crafted with vegetable-tanned leather and hand-hammered copper rivets on a black enamelled steel frame. Weighing just 520g and measuring 275x175x65 mm, it offers firm comfort from the first ride and molds to your body over time. Perfect for city commuting and long tours, this saddle blends timeless British craftsmanship with durable materials, making it a must-have for discerning cyclists who value both style and performance.

## Description

It has been on the market for over 100 years, being featured in as early as the 1898 catalogue.

Review: Firm but comfortable from day one - I was expecting to spend a while breaking this saddle in, but found it very comfortable from the start. It may have helped that I'm used to firm saddles (my other saddle is a Specialized Romin). After 100 miles I reached a new level of comfort as it started to mould to my body. Two dimples started to form around my sit bones, and I found myself naturally settling into a comfortable position on every ride. I felt well supported at the rear, and crucially this kept pressure off the softer tissues that would otherwise be resting on the front of the saddle. During a recent tour I cycled 30-40 miles each day for two weeks; at the end of each day my legs and arms were tired but I didn't feel sore on the saddle. It is also comfortable on my 5 mile daily commute. Some disadvantages: Bear in mind it's best not to keep a leather saddle outdoors in the rain (you could always cover it with a plastic bag I suppose), and unfortunately I've heard about someone's Brooks being stolen off their bike when they locked it to a railing in London. Also you should need to spend ten minutes every few weeks rubbing it with proofide, and there are lighter saddles out there if you are anxious to shave every possible gramme of weight from your bike. Overall this is a very good saddle and I would definitely recommend it to a friend. Finally if you buy one, please read Sheldon Brown's article about leather saddles [...] and don't play around with the tension adjustment screw. Also I'd think twice about following advice from the reviewer below who tenderised his saddle with a hammer!

A: No, mine didn't. I transferred the clip from the existing Brompton seat.

**Q: isi it fit with the 2020 brompton?**
A: Yes, I have the 2020 Brompton and exchanged my saddle with this saddle using the Brompton pentaclip, so no extra parts needed, the saddle I received wasn’t as dark as the one pictured though.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ B17 My favourite.
*by J***7 on 23 November 2025*

This is my favourite saddle. Give it 50 miles and a coat of linseed oil on the inside face of the leather. The seat will mould to your shape and you WILL be comfortable.
