The B17 saddle, intended for the touring and trekking cyclist, has been Brooks' best selling model for over a century. First introduced in the 1890s, the B17 has survived virtually unchanged, and has firmly established itself as the saddle of choice for long distance cyclists.

The B17 S is the ladies version of the B17 and is shorter and wider and the B17 S Imperial features the central cut-out, first designed by BROOKS over 100 years ago.
