Description
Pressure-Relief Leather Saddle for Touring and Commuting
The Brooks B17 Imperial Carved in Black adds a long central cut-out to the classic B17 touring shape, relieving pressure through the perineal area on longer rides. The firm, 5 mm vegetable-tanned leather top supports your sit bones while flexing just enough around the carved section for comfort that improves as the saddle breaks in.
Laced side panels let you fine-tune how much the leather flaps flex over time, helping the saddle hold its shape as it molds to you. Chrome-plated steel rails, large steel rivets, and rear bag loops complete a durable, serviceable design for commuting, gravel, and loaded touring in a moderately forward riding position.
Built to Last
- Central cut-out reduces soft-tissue pressure based on Brooks’ historic “Imperial” pattern.
- Laced leather side flaps allow adjustment of flex and help prevent the saddle from splaying.
- 5 mm vegetable-tanned leather top gradually molds to your individual anatomy.
- Chrome-plated steel rails and tubular steel rivets built for everyday and touring use.
- Rear bag loops accept traditional saddle bags for tools, layers, or small cargo.
- Works best on bikes with a slightly forward, touring-style riding position.
- Black finish pairs cleanly with both classic and modern commuter or gravel builds.
