Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Brooks saddle need to be broken in?
Yes. The leather stretches and conforms to your body shape over the first few hundred miles. Once broken in, it provides a custom fit unlike any synthetic saddle.
Which color should I choose?
Available in Brown, Black, and Honey. Brown develops the richest patina over time. All three use the same premium leather.
Can I use this for touring?
The B17 is the definitive touring saddle. The bag loops support traditional English-style touring bags for bikepacking and long-distance rides.
