Review: Extremely Comfortable - Very comfortable right out of the box, didn't even require a break-in period atleast for my bum. purchased quite a few these brooks to replace most of my frequently used bicycles and never regreted any of them as they all somehow were a perfect fit. Swifts for my gravel and beater road bike. A Flyer and B17s for my mini velos. Bum comfort is a big deal when you go out to enjoy a ride and these saddles perform the part 100%- at least for me. Review: Cosa si può avere di più. - Dopo aver provato altre selle, sono approdato a quest'ultima. Per chi non conoscesse il marchio, basta googlerare per averne un idea. E' il miglio produttore di selle per bici. L'ho montata sulla mia bici Gravel per avere una seduta comoda che mi permettesse di starci su per parecchio tempo. La seduta è sostenuta ma comoda. Bisogna spettare, con l'uso, che prenda la "forma" del proprio fondoschiena ma, già dai primi chilometri non si avvertono fastidi nonostante sia nuova. Il cuoio è duro all'inizio ma, a leggere altri commenti col tempo di ammorbidisce. Come tutti gli oggetti di cuoio bisogna avere un po di cura. La confezione è perfetta e di qualità. All'interno c'è la chiave per registrare la tensione della sella ed una bustina di crema d'applicare all'interno della sella per "nutrirla". E' stato facile trovare la giusta inclinazione cos che con altre selle non è stato facile ed anche questo il motivo della scelta. Da un tocco di originalità al proprio mezzo senza esagerazione. ## Features - BROOKS ENGLAND'S FLAGSHIP MODEL - The B17 is ideal for long distance touring, trekking, MTB, or Road riding. - HANDMADE IN ENGLAND - Manufactured by skilled craftsmen for over 100 years using traditional techniques and the finest vegtable tanned leather on the planet. - LIFETIME COMFORT - The B17 shapes to your body over time, like a fine wine - this saddle gets better with age. - THE ORIGINAL LEATHER SADDLE - Often immidated, never duplicated, this simple yet elegant design is the original leather saddle.

Some bike manufacturers may supply Brooks Saddles but they don't make them themselves. I hope this answers your question. **Q: Does the saddle come with the spanner?** A: Yes the saddle comes with the spanner. You wont need it for quite some time, until the saddle stretches out. Have ridden mine for 3,000 miles with no stretching, although the leather has broken through continuous use of Proofhide. **Q: I have read that leather saddles do not conform to the body if the rider weighs less than 130 lbs / 60kg. Is this accurate, and if so, what can I do?** A: I weight about 155 lbs and I know that they say that this is supposed to be one of the MOST comfortable saddles out there once it's broken in, I just didn't have the patience to wait for it. It's pretty uncomfortable and you feel it a lot. If you're going short distances, it will take you forever to break it in. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely Comfortable *by F***E on 29 May 2026* Very comfortable right out of the box, didn't even require a break-in period atleast for my bum. purchased quite a few these brooks to replace most of my frequently used bicycles and never regreted any of them as they all somehow were a perfect fit.
