Brooks B17 Narrow Carved Saddle

A narrower leather saddle with pressure relief, designed for more active riding positions and long-term comfort.

About this product

The Brooks B17 Narrow Carved is a sportier version of the classic B17 saddle. It keeps the traditional leather construction Brooks is known for, but uses a narrower profile and central cut-out to reduce pressure on longer rides.

It’s well suited to riders who want the character and longevity of a Brooks saddle, but with a slightly more performance-focused fit.

What sets it apart

• Narrower profile than the standard B17
• Central cut-out for pressure relief
• Traditional leather construction
• Designed to shape to the rider over time
• Classic Brooks finish and long-lasting build

Why we like it

This is a great option for riders who like the feel of a leather saddle but want something less wide and more suited to an active riding position.

The carved cut-out makes it more forgiving on longer rides, while the leather construction gives that familiar Brooks feel once broken in.

Best for

Longer rides and more active riding positions — ideal for riders who want classic leather comfort with added pressure relief.
