For riders in search of pressure relief, the B17 Carved features a “registered cutting” which first appeared with Brooks saddles in the 1890s. Still providing relief today, the B17 Carved is made from vegetable-tanned leather that will age beautifully over time. Additionally, laced saddle flaps allow for increased tension and preserve the saddle’s shape. A more flexible saddle than the standard B17, this comfortable saddle is finished with steel rivets and a steel undercarriage.
