Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far, so comfortable From everything I read about this saddle I was expecting to have to put up with a reasonable amount of discomfort until it was broken in. Instead, I found it to be amazingly comfortable from the first time I sat on it. After about 40km. on my first ride, I began to feel it, but only at about the same level I would feel after 5km on saddles I had tried previously. Given how good it has been so far, I have high hopes for it once it is fully broken in. More expensive than others I've tried, but it seems you get what you pay for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brooks imperial the saddle was broken in quite quickly on 2-3 longish rides. It is comfortable and supportive. The carved section relieves pressure in the ‘undercarriage’ area so no more discomfort. The leather will ease further with time to mould to the anatomy as had my other 2 Brooks saddles. Well worth using one of these saddles

Rated 1 out of 5 by from I bought this saddle the May of 2018. I had used it for two long trips(20 days each) inside Greece and for commuting these 2 years, the leather was perfect but the metal of saddle had suddenly broke and also the tension screw broke (see photos). I ask for repair or replace but the told me that the warranty cannot cover and I have to pay 60 euros for repair. It supposed that this sadlle has a warranty of 2 years without registry! !! I used several saddles with less than 30 euros the last 15 years and none of them has this kind of problems. It is unacceptable for a saddle who cost 70-90 euros has too bad quality of metal. For me buy something else at least you will not give a fortune to a product that maybe broke in a year.

Q & A

How much comfier is the imperial than a standard B17? Is there an actual hole or is there leather underneath? Why does it need laces?

Asked by: BMCBandit
I have not tried a standard B17 but have found that the imperial cutout has not improved comfort compared to other non-cutout style saddles. The cutout is an actual hole, with no leather beneath. Unfortunately there were no instructions about the laces that come with the saddle. From research on the internet it looks like people use the laces to keep the leather tight over the saddle as it ages and stretches.
