B17 Special Titanium Saddle

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve used dozens of saddles across decades of endurance riding, and nothing—not even modern gel options—compares to how the B17 Special Titanium evolves with your body. If you're a set-it-and-forget-it rider who loves timeless function, this one is for you."

Brooks has been crafting saddles since the 19th century, and the B17 Special Titanium is their modern heritage masterpiece. Purpose-built for riders who prioritize longevity, elegance, and comfort over gimmicks, this saddle’s core appeal lies in its commitment to natural materials and refined construction.

The titanium rails and frame reduce weight without sacrificing the iconic durability Brooks is known for. Atop the minimalist frame rests a thick, vegetable-tanned leather top that flexes with your movement while slowly conforming to your body, delivering comfort that only improves with age. Its hammock-like ride feel reduces pressure points and breathes naturally, ideal for bikepackers, globe-trotting tourists, and classic road cyclists alike.

Hand-hammered copper rivets, skived flaps, and embossed details reflect Brooks’ meticulous craftsmanship. The B17’s geometry suits riders in a moderately forward, touring-style position, and it comes backed by Brooks’ extended 10-year guarantee. Whether you're logging a century or crossing continents, this saddle is built to travel with you for years.
