Reviews over the

Brooks B17 Standard

I love brooks saddles, once broken in they just get more comfortable with time. My saddle was dispatched quickly, arrived well packaged and was at a very reasonable price.

Pros & Cons

Quality leather and craftsmanship. Easy to fit and great comfort. Comes with clear and comprehensive care instructions and leather oil starter sachet. Looking forward to using this seat for many years to come on my current and any future bike buys. So worth the investment.

Pros & Cons

Hasn’t taken long to brake in, but I hear this can vary. Mantel ahí their orders quickly and provide easy tracking. Good work guys!!

Pros & Cons

The B-17 is easily the most comfortable saddle I have ever had. Considering the leather is hard and takes some breaking in it is already infinitely better that the padded monstrosity that came with my bike and has eliminated the 'chafing issues' I was having before. The saddle is really easy to install - it took just a few minutes. It also looks great. Mantel were awesome too. It came really quickly.

Pros & Cons

80 miles in feeling good, bit heavier than a normal saddle but comfort makes up for it.

Excellent

Lovely colour, beautifully made and so comfortable to ride on. Looking forward to putting some miles on it.

Pros & Cons

I already have a 10 year old Brooks B17 saddle on my tourer and it is the most comfortable saddle that I have ever had. So when I restored my 30 year old Dawes Road Bike only a Brooks saddle would do. I am delighted with it. It adds the final touch of class to the old bike which is now painted "Bianchi" blue, has a Renalds 531 steel frame and the original "Sun Tour" gears with "down shifters".

Pros & Cons

I followed the instructions to give the saddle a coating of profide and left it soak in for two days before buffing it wih a soft cloth. The saddle was very comfortable from the first ride ( much better than the gel saddle it replaced). If this "breaks in" and softens over time then it will be amazing!

Pros & Cons

A bit slippery but have asked Brooks about this and they said there is no treatment, it will wear off

Pros & Cons

My old cycling tutor Ms Whiplash tolsme about the benefits of a Brooks B17 and I have never looked back sonce

Pros & Cons

Great Brooks Saddle at the best price anywhere

Pros & Cons

A bit soon to review realistically. But have done around 200 miles so far and it's been great. Can't what till its 2,000 and it's well and truly broke in. This has been comfy from the off but have found I have had to tilt up more than I generally would with a "normal" saddle

Pros & Cons

Comfy from the start and looks great. Really pleased with it.

Brooks B17 saddle. Great comfy saddle, fitted to my new bike and straight off to ride a 75 mile reliability ride. No issues. Its heavy but thats a small price to pay for 15 hrs Plus in the saddle, which is what this was bought for and actually ridden.

Pros & Cons

If you are prepared to break in a Brooks saddle then you will have comfortable saddle that could last you a lifetime. Brooks handmade saddles mould to your shape. You won't get saddle sore if you have a Brooks. They are a bit pricey but you will not buying another one in few years time. They are a bit on the heavy side but so what because of the difference they make.
