Shorter, Softer Take on a Classic Touring Saddle The Brooks B17S Aged takes the time-tested B17 Short shape and treats the leather for a quicker, gentler break-in. It’s designed for riders who prefer a slightly shorter saddle nose and a moderately upright riding position, making it a good match for touring, commuting, and all-round city use. The pre-softened, vegetable-tanned leather top still works like a small hammock, supporting your sit bones while gradually molding to your shape. You get the familiar Brooks feel and longevity, with less of the stiff “new saddle” phase that usually comes first. Built to Last Based on the B17 Short profile, with a reduced nose length that works well for smaller riders or a more upright fit. Aged leather treatment shortens the break-in period while retaining Brooks’ supportive hammock feel. 5 mm vegetable-tanned leather top flexes and conforms over time for personalized comfort. Sturdy steel rails and large rivets deliver classic Brooks durability for daily riding and touring. Best suited to moderately upright riding positions on road, gravel, and city bikes. Honeyed “aged” finish pairs nicely with classic steel frames and modern commuters alike.
