The B17 Series
The B17 series is the most popular of Brooks's sporty models. They are an excellent choice for touring, century rides, ultra-marathon rides and other demanding types of cycling. The B17 is most appropriate for cyclists who set their handlebars about the same height as their saddles, or a bit lower. All of the B17 models feature bag loops to permit the use of a traditional English-style touring bag.
There are eight variations on the B17:
 Imperial With Relief Cut-out |
 Special With Copper Rails |
 New! Select With Organic Hide |
 Narrow Sporty Version |
|---|---|---|---|
 Standard Best Seller |
 Women's "s" With Shorter Snout |
 Titanium With Ti Rails |
 Aged Pre-aged Finish |
In the 1890 Brooks catalogue, the oldest in the their archive, Brooks presents most of the saddles with the "registered cutting, a sure preventive to all perineal pressure".
Over 100 years ahead of todays saddle manufacturers, John Boultbee Brooks had already found the solution to a nowadays well known problem.Brooks has reintroduced it on one of their most successful models (The B17) with an improved and dedicated solution for men and for women.
