General Specifications
About the Product
The Flyer and its ladies model Flyer S are classically sprung saddles for long distance trekking and touring. It is directly descending from the B66 Champion, first featured in the 1927 catalogue. Sharing the same leather tops of the B17 models, they combine the comfort of these popular models with the extra suspension granted by two rear springs.
The B67 and B67 S are the modern versions of B66 models, first featured in the 1927 catalogue. Classically sprung for supreme comfort, the B67 and B67 S feature single rails for attachment to modern micro-adjust seat pillars.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
Brooks Flyer Bicycle Saddle (Men's)
  • I don't have many miles on my Flyer yet, and it definitely isn't fully broken in yet. Still, it is already very comfortable and will only get better with time.
  • The saddle is very smooth/slick but a couple adjustments to the nose height/angle and I quit sliding forward.
  • The saddle seems to disappear under me when I ride it and I rarely notice or think about it on that bike, I take this as a good thing and that I am on the right track.
  • So after 200 miles, I'm happy and will probably stick with it. It seems to be getting increasingly comfortable.
  • Using the smooth seat and wearing shorts composed of man-made materials can result in a little too much movement in the saddle to the point of feeling slippery
Brooks B67 Bicycle Saddle (Men's)
  • I needed a comfortable one, so B67 with springs and wider surface was my choice.
  • It is the most comfortable bike seat that I have ever owned and will never depart from it.
  • The leather is made of quality hides, that are thick and will mold to your backside and your gentlemanly parts as well.
  • Leather will mold to your seating position and riding style as it ages.
  • The leather on the bottom of the seat is cracked.

What customers say about "Features"
Brooks Flyer Bicycle Saddle (Men's)
  • As others have said the springs are stiff but they do smooth out the hard jolts to the posterior when you hit and unexpected pot hole.
  • The springs really do help a lot. Not mushy at all, but you can definetly feel it taking up the shock of big bumps.
  • This is a beautiful bike saddle.
  • The leather takes a long time to soften up.
  • The springs do add a great deal of weight to the seat and thus to the bike overall, and it is noticeable when lifting the back end of the bike.
Brooks B67 Bicycle Saddle (Men's)
  • This is the perfect width for me and the springs help dampen the road jolts.
  • Do the springs work? Yes! I weigh 165-170 and can feel the springs flexing (i.e. absorbing shock) when I hit bumpy patches on my way to work.
  • It's a good seat and the springs take up a surprising amount of road jitter.
  • This saddle is superior in quality, function, and form.
  • These are nice saddles and the springs help.
