5.0 out of 5 stars Very sturdy and comfortable
The price goes up over time but the quality is still there. I bought my first saddle 30 years ago. It took some breaking in! I'm not sure if it was me or the saddle that broke in but once we achieved harmony it was always comfortable. Unfortunately the rail broke and I had to buy a new one. This was just as comfortable straight from the off. I can't see why I won't get another 30 years of use out of it.
5.0 out of 5 stars 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!
5.0 out of 5 stars 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
5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable, but give it some time!
Purchased this back in the spring in preparation for a long summer of cycling!The saddle that came provided with my e-bike wasn't very supportive and I found myself starting to feel very sore after 20 or so miles which then put me off going out again.Once fitted this saddle took around 100miles to become comfortable but after this it has easily become the most comfortable saddle I have ever owned.Over the course of the summer I have completed many 60+ mile rides and I now feel ready to go again even after a long day spent on it, something that could not be said for the saddle it replaced.Ensure you break it in, look after it! and it will treat you well.
4.0 out of 5 stars A revelation
We all know that a Brooks B17saddle is not an inexpensive purchase, but their comfort once broken is is legendary and they gave a habit of lasting for years.Saddle comfort has always been the limiting factor in my ability to ride longer distances, and I’d tried all kinds of saddles made from synthetics and gels etc, but 8-10 miles was enough to have me wishing it was over. Overall, I’ve almost certainly spent more on inferior saddles than I would have spent if I’d just bought a Brooks in the first place!My saddle was supplied without any Proofide, which was an inconvenience because you have to treat the leather prior to use. I believe that once upon a time they were supplied with a small sachet of it so you could use it straight away, but sadly this no longer appears to be the case. However, once I’d sorted some, it was applied over the underside of the saddle and left whilst the top was also treated but then polished off as directed.A quick try in the garden wasn’t very promising, as the surface of the saddle was super slippery. I knew this wasn’t down to the Proofide, as I had also given it a quick try whilst waiting for the Proofide to be delivered. A quick internet search later, and it would seem that saddle angle is super critical - my fault for not checking this properly first and just doing it by eye. I adjusted the saddle with a spirit level to get it completely horizontal and tried again. Perfect this time, and the slippery feel was no longer an issue.I took the bike out for a quick shakedown ride, as I’d also fitted an adjustable stem and made a few other adjustments so I was carrying a few tools. 16 miles later, I remembered I’d told the wife I’d be back in a few minute . . . oops! Now, bearing in mind this saddle has by no means been broken in, the fact that I’ve instantly been stable to double my time in the saddle instantly bodes very well for the future, but I’m more than happy with my purchase.I just have two negative points to make.1. A sachet of Proofide included would be a welcome touch2. Quality control could be improved upon. The rivets have been poorly finished, especially on the underside and the top of the saddle was markedNeither of these are a deal breaker, but a little disappointing on a premium product.Would I buy it again? Sure, but I really don’t think I’ll ever need to.Every product I review is one I have purchased myself.I rely on unbiased reviews when making shopping choices so that’s exactly what you’ll get from me.

The best saddle you can buy, nothing else to say
3 bikes, 5000+ miles and 6 years later
Excellent saddle. Definitely benefits from regular 'Proofide' application. Pictured in the saddle with a planet bike cover on a rainy day. A little water doesn't seem to hurt it. I am male and have weighed between 180-230lbs during use and it has treated me well. Works great with or without chamois. The rivets can develop a bit of surface rust as can the rails. It's not for lightweight it's for durability and custom comfort.
Ótimo
É um Brooks, não precisa dizer mais nada.
Einfach unschlagbar
Dies ist nun schon mein zweiter Sattel von Brooks - Qualität und Comfort sind einfach unschlagbar!
B17 standard nera
Bella, rifinita, cuoio che odora di pelle, presentata in una bellissima confezione con chiave di registro. Subito montata, esco a rodarla. Faccio 9/10.000 km/anno, spero di modellarla in fretta.Un prodotto eccelso.Dopo una settimana: fatti i primi 400km, sta prendendo forma: estremamente comoda, scorrevole, fresca.
What a wow!
