Brooks Saddles is one of the oldest, most respected names in the bicycle business. And they owe their reputation to their outstanding product, the Brooks leather saddle. These saddles often last 20, 30, or 40 years, far longer than any gel seat. And they're much more comfortable because the leather -- which is, after all, the skin of a cow -- really breathes and stays much cooler than other saddles. Part of the reason it stays cool is that the leather is not supported underneath by a thick layer of insulating foam. It floats over an outer metal structure, like the skin of a trampoline.

Brooks Saddles come in many varieties, and have different colors available. But we've chosen the most simple and classic of these offerings, the B17, in Honey and Black.
