Brooks designed their B17 line to handle whatever you can throw at it, from long distance rides, to longer distance tours, or even off-road.

The B17 from Brooks features their standard width and nose profiles.

The women-specific B17S features a shorter nose and wider back-end.

This model is ideal for a bike with the handlebars and saddle at about the same height.

Features:

Just because Brooks saddles are labeled "Men's" and "Women's" doesn't mean you don't get to decide what's more comfortable for your own butt. Men's saddles are more long in the nose, and more narrow in the back. Women's saddles are short in the nose, and wider in the back. You know your body better than Brooks does, so don't pay too much attention to who's supposed to ride what. Find what works best for you.
