The Brooks B17 Carved Short Saddle has been the best-selling model for over 100 years; the B17 is the ideal bike saddle for daily use, Gravel, road, and touring. Extremely comfortable thanks to its flexible, hammock-like performance that moves with every pedal stroke, the B17 is a bike saddle designed for a 60° riding angle. Handcrafted in England from beautiful, durable 100% vegetable-tanned leather that will mold and shape itself individually for each rider, the B17 features a finish with rivets and premium steel rails.
The B17 is Brooks’ flagship model and, with the traditional British style that characterizes the brand, has been part of its catalog since 1898. It is available in a men’s-universal version (B17) and a women’s-specific version (B17S). The Standard models have black steel rails, the Special models have copper-finished rails, and the Titanium models have rails made of this material. The latter two feature hand-molded copper trim, and all include the signature Brooks plate. Made in England.
The B17 Carved features the central cutout, designed over 100 years ago by Brooks. The "registered cutout," according to the 1890 catalog, is "a sure way to relieve pressure on the perineal area."

Long-lasting comfort and breathability
Leather is a naturally breathable material that provides a unique sense of comfort. The leather top is suspended over the saddle rail to create a contoured, suspended seat—similar to a hammock—for long-lasting, custom-like comfort.
Molds to your shape over time
Ride after ride, our leather naturally molds to the rider’s unique shape for a more comfortable ride.
