4 / 5
Seat is hard, slowly improving.
It takes some time to find the right adjustment, the first rides are already better than the previous saddle but breaking in is definitely necessary. Maybe I should have opted for the variant with notch or soft leather, or maybe not; it will last longer.

Excellent saddle
Had had this saddle before but it ran out. Really liked that saddle hence I bought a new one. The seat is a little uncomfortable at first but then the saddle molds to your seat very comfortably.

An excellent product
A leather saddle is always fine is not going to boil when it's hot and in winter not freeze like a gel saddle

zadelpijn loze zadel
Allen op een Brooks zadel B17 heb ik geen zadelpijn. Deze heb ik op mijn racefiets, lange afstand fiets en nu ook op mijn ATB-fiets.

Requires patience and a sore bottom for some time.
I’ve had many seats none of which are properly comfortable. Everyone who seems to know says Brooks is the ultimate answer. So far I’m happy as I remain confident of comfort and like owning it.

Top saddle.
Beautiful and high-quality saddle. Top quality. Due to the short mounting rail at the bottom, I could not mount it far enough back - to my liking - but it is fine as it is. Also, it is hard and slippery at the beginning, so you feel like you keep sliding off. I mounted the front or tip slightly upwards and it is now stable and more comfortable. You do have to find your sweet spot and then persevere and ride it in. I regularly lubricate my saddle with Brooks Proofide to make the leather a bit more supple and weatherproof. Recommended is to order a can with it. By the way, there is a small bag of Profide with the saddle for the first lubrication. Don't hesitate, just buy it. You will not regret it.

Still too short for real opinion.
Really needs to be driven in, after 125km I am still not comfortable.

For saddle problems, you might consider such a saddle.
I have been using this brand of saddle for 10 or so years and am satisfied with it. You do need to cycle quite a lot (especially long distances) to really benefit from them.
