Shorter Classic Leather Saddle for Smaller and Women Riders The Brooks B17S Standard takes the iconic B17 touring saddle and trims the length for women and smaller riders. You still get the same 5 mm vegetable-tanned leather top that gradually molds to your shape, creating a hammock-like perch that becomes more comfortable the more you ride. Shorter and a touch wider than the unisex B17, the S version works well on bikes set up for a moderately upright, 60° riding position. Chrome-plated steel rails and traditional large rivets complete a durable package that suits commuting, gravel, and touring bikes alike. Built to Last Shorter fore–aft length for women and smaller riders who don’t need as much saddle nose. Full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather top flexes and breaks in to your individual shape. Hammock-style construction supports sit bones while allowing natural flex for comfort. Hand-hammered steel rivets and steel undercarriage for long-term durability. Best for moderately upright, 60° riding positions on touring, gravel, and city bikes. Made by hand in England with over a century of Brooks saddle heritage behind it.
