The Flyer is a classic sprung men's saddle for long tours or trekking rides. It sets new standards in the high quality range of core leather saddles with its vegetable dyed saddle top made of tanned smooth leather. Made in England, it is a status symbol for many trekking cyclists and gives the bike that certain something as well as a proper portion of elegance. The Flyer is the direct descendant of the B66 Champion, which first appeared in a Brooks catalog in 1927. The leather cover is however kept in the B17 shape. Care TipThe new Brooks saddle should be treated with Brooks Proofide Maintenance Grease to support the adjustment during the "break-in" period. Brooks Proofide helps to keep the leather supple and to maintain the saddle and make it weatherproof. Brooks recommends using Proofide as the only substance for saddle care.
