Box Contains 1 x Saddle/1 x Standard Spanner/1 x Instructions/1 x Proofide Sachet 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! Review: Great quality and great value - There's no guarantee that this (or any) saddle will be comfortable you - we're all different shapes and you'd have to try it - but in terms of quality it is exceptionally well constructed. Its heavy so not one for those looking to build a lightweight bike, but for everyone else its hard to fault the construction, this feels like it will last forever. It also comes beautifully boxed and wrapped. It suits someone who rides in a relatively upright riding position - if your pelvis is rotated forwards (aggressive riding position) then it is noticeably less comfortable. I found that getting fit was important, since the leather is relatively slippy and doesn't grip your shorts in position as synethic saddle materials do ## Features - Warning:To be used under the direct supervision of an adult - Top made out of vegetable tanned leather - Tubular rivets - Frame made out of black enamelled steel - Dimensions (LxWxH): 275 x 175 x 65 mm - Weight: 520 g ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000HZA918 | | Best Sellers Rank | 91,498 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 90 in City Bike Saddles | | Bike Type | City Bike, Hybrid Bike, Road Bike | | Brand | Brooks England | | Brand Name | Brooks England | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,202 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00831273005245 | | Included Components | Saddle | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 35.6L x 22.9W x 10.2H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Brooks England Men's B17 Standard Leather Saddle - Black | | Item Weight | 0.53 Kilograms | | League Name | Brooks Saddles | | Manufacturer | Brooks England | | Manufacturer Part Number | B211000A07202 | | Material | Leather , steel rails | | Material Type | Leather, steel rails | | Model Number | B211000A07202 | | Outer Material Type | Leather | | Outer material | Leather | | Pad Type | Leather | | Pad type | Leather | | Product dimensions | 35.6L x 22.9W x 10.2H centimetres | | Team Name | Brooks Saddles | | UPC | 831273005245 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Weight Capacity Maximum | 525 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Brooks England - **Colour:** Black - **Material:** Leather - **Outer material:** Leather - **Product dimensions:** 35.6L x 22.9W x 10.2H centimetres ## Images ![Brooks England B17 Bike Saddle - Handmade Leather Bike Seat (Steel, Titanium, Copper) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41n-4x91Z1L.jpg) ![Brooks England B17 Bike Saddle - Handmade Leather Bike Seat (Steel, Titanium, Copper) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ZrrQasTNL.jpg) ![Brooks England B17 Bike Saddle - Handmade Leather Bike Seat (Steel, Titanium, Copper) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41V6C1YmT2L.jpg) ![Brooks England B17 Bike Saddle - Handmade Leather Bike Seat (Steel, Titanium, Copper) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Wh4IAjXYL.jpg) ![Brooks England B17 Bike Saddle - Handmade Leather Bike Seat (Steel, Titanium, Copper) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eXI6+ErxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Firm but comfortable from day one *by D***E on 25 June 2014* I was expecting to spend a while breaking this saddle in, but found it very comfortable from the start.

I hesitated at first, leaning towards modern seats with cut-outs, but after all followed friends recommendations and bought it. It was quite comfortable straight out of the package, and it became even better after 600-700km of training sessions. I am happy to say that at no point over 10 hour race did I think about the seat or experienced any discomfort, it became extension of the body, and I think that is the best that can be said about the saddle. Bonus points - it was funny and uplifting to look at the faces of few fellow cyclists with standard race bike seats, who were very sceptical about the choice of Brooks in the beginning. That look on the face, feeling the amount of Brooks comfort after riding 100km on less comfy seats, you can't fake it. Make sure you choose the right style for your bike, and enjoy the rides! ## Frequently Bought Together - Brooks England B17, Supremely Comfortable Leather Bike Saddle - Brooks England Proofide, Bike Leather Saddle Maintenance and Care Cream, Plain, 30ml - Brooks England Microfiber Waterproof Bar Tape Black for Road Bikes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/49167417-brooks-england-b17-bike-saddle-handmade-leather-bike-seat-steel](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/49167417-brooks-england-b17-bike-saddle-handmade-leather-bike-seat-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
