Description
The Brooks B17 White leather saddle brings the century-old B17 design to a distinctive white finish. Handmade in England, it is designed for a 60° angled riding position and suits commuting, touring, road and gravel riding. The flexible, hammock-like leather top moves naturally with each pedal stroke and gradually moulds to the rider for personalised comfort.
Why choose the Brooks B17 White?
- Vegetable-tanned leather: breathable, durable and designed to develop an individual patina over time.
- Handmade in England: built using Brooks’ traditional leather-saddle construction.
- Comfort that improves with use: the suspended leather top gradually adapts to the rider’s shape.
- Classic steel construction: black powder-coated steel rails with tubular steel rivets.
- Versatile riding: ideal for everyday commuting, road rides, gravel and long-distance touring.

Compatibility and care
The B17 uses conventional twin saddle rails and can be fitted to many city, touring, road, gravel and folding bicycles with a compatible seatpost clamp. For Brompton fitment, please confirm that your saddle clamp and available saddle height suit the B17 before purchase. As genuine leather naturally changes with use, slight colour variation, surface marks and the gradual development of patina are normal. Keep the saddle sheltered from prolonged rain and allow wet leather to dry naturally.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Brooks B17 suitable for commuting and touring?
Yes. Brooks describes the B17 as suitable for commuting, gravel, road and touring, especially for a 60° angled riding position.
Does a Brooks leather saddle require a break-in period?
The vegetable-tanned leather gradually moulds to the individual rider. Comfort and fit therefore become more personalised with regular use.
Will the white leather stay completely unchanged?
No. Natural leather develops character and patina through handling, clothing contact and riding. This is part of the material’s normal ageing process.
