Brooks FlyerThe Brooks Flyer is a classic sprung saddle for long-distance cyclists and touring cyclists. The Brooks Flyer is a direct descendant of the Brooks B66 Champion, which first appeared in the catalog in 1927. The leather surface is the same as that of the popular and sporty Brooks B17 models. The Brooks Flyers combine the comfort of these popular models with the added comfort of the two rear springs. The Brooks Flyer is therefore an excellent choice for a large group of cyclists who are looking for comfort without losing sight of sportiness. The standard version comes with steel rivets and the Special version with hand-hammered copper rivets. The ‘Aged’ version comes with softer leather, making it comfortable from day one. Many people hesitate between the Brooks B17 and the Brooks Flyer. As mentioned, the leather cover is identical. The two extra springs in the Brooks Flyer add a little more weight and reduce the stiffness of the construction, but the springs do provide more comfort. If you occasionally suffer from back pain, especially in the lower back, then a Brooks Flyer may be the better choice.
