Description

The B17 Imperial is another variation of our time-honored B17 design, featuring a distinctive cut-out section in the top of the leather, first conceived and registered by Brooks over a century ago. In the catalogue of J.B. Brooks & Co. dated 1890 a model called the B86 Imperial, with its unique "registered cutting", is described as "a sure preventative to all perennial pressure". Another distinctive feature of the B17 Imperial is the perforations along the lower edge of the leather sides, which are threaded together one side to the other by a lace. This can be adjusted to help maintain the saddle’s shape and provide comfort in the long term. Tying the leather lace tightly pulls the sides of the saddle closer together, conversely loosening the lace enables the saddle sides to splay slightly further apart. This sideways fine-tuning of the B17 Imperial is of course in addition to the usual fore-and-aft tensioning mechanism common to all Brooks Saddles.

    • Comfort and style
Color: Black Size: Standard
This is the most amazing saddle I have ever used. It is comfortable right out of the box. A really good looking saddle also. The comfort is worth the weight penalty. Don’t be stubborn like me and wait all these years thinking by butt is suppose to hurt after a ride,

    • Just about perfect!
Color: Black Size: Standard
This saddle is just about perfect. It was relatively comfy right out of the box and 100 miles in, is only getting better and better with each ride. Note, the Imperial version I got comes factory pre-laced and Brooks recommends keeping it like that. They include a few other colors of laces in case you want to change the look but they still recommend using the same lacing as original should you want to replace the laces. The laces just keep the sides from flaying out too much over time since this version of the B17 has the potential of being a bit softer than other non cutout versions. Brooks leather saddles are the best because they adjust to you over time versus you having to adjust to the saddle like virtually all other saddles. It looks great too and is made to a high standard in Britain. I'm using it on my ebike and highly recommend! ... show more

It's a Brooks, it'll break in! I put this on a Trek Allant+7S.

    • Great saddle.
Color: Black Size: Women's
It's true, these things take ages to break in. My first Imperial took about 500 miles and a 65 mile, 100 degree day to break in. Slather on leather dressing for the first month, and use it sparingly thereafter. Take care of it, and it will take care of you. I've got at least 20,000 miles on mine. You'll want to invest in a waterproof saddle cover and a two-bolt seatpost. You'll have to make a ton of fiddly little adjustments over time and the two-bolt seatpost will make your life much easier. For the record I ride a Surly LHT and my seatpost has about 25mm setback. These saddles are notorious for having short rails so you'll need to use a seatpost with the right amount of setback to compensate for the lack of fore/aft adjustability. The only thing I would change is that I would like to see a sprung, Imperial S model. Hence the 4-star review. They make them in the standard Imperial, but not the "ladies" S model. I ride in skirts on a daily basis and like having the shorter nose and wider cantle, but as a trade-off I can't get a sprung saddle. ... show more

    • A classic!
Color: Black Size: Standard
While this is normally a 5 star saddle (I have them on all my bikes), the one I received has some variations in the leather grain that I probably wouldn’t have chosen if I had the opportunity to pick my own. But given that it was a great price and not visible in use, I’ve learned to live with it. The B17s is always comfortable, will last forever, and is an excellent choice. ... show more

    • As good as you think.
Color: Black Size: Standard
Heavy, but amazingly built and it is shaping up to become my most comfortable saddle. I love the quality, so I’ll be buying a couple more for all my bikes.

    • Best seat I have had
Color: Black Size: Standard
I find most bicycle seats require you to conform to them. I expected this one to be difficult in the beginning, but that was not the case. While it wasn’t comfortable on the first ride it wasn’t as bad or worse than many of the gel seats I have had in the past. Each successive ride has shown improvement in comfort to the point where no other seat I have ridden has been as good. ... show more

    • Best saddle for me
Color: Black Size: Standard
I love a brooks saddle. I have several on my bike fleet. Thanks for a very comfortable riding saddle. Would buy again if need be. But with proper care, the last a life time.
