Details

Have a long ride ahead of you? Brooks' Flyer Select features the same construction and quality as the rest of the Select line, but adds in bump-busting, heavy-duty springs for a look that's as classic and retro-inspired as it is functional. The Flyer Select offers sublime support and comfort for casual and high-mileage cyclists alike, as well as a top made of Brooks' Select organic leather, secured by their trademark, hand-hammered copper rivets.

Vegetable-tanned, organic leather.

Brooks chooses the toughest leather for their Select saddles. It's sourced from cattle raised on certified organic farms, then vegetable tanned and attached to the saddle frame with hand-hammered copper rivets that protect the leather and look beautiful. The result is the best possible quality, durability and usurpassed comfort mile after mile.

Brooks saddles are legendary.
Brooks saddles have been handcrafted in England since 1870. They are manufactured in Smethwick, Birmingham using machines dating back to the 19th century. Only top quality hide leather is used which is immersed in water and formed under intense pressures. Even the springs and frames are manufactured in house! Skilled hand labor is necessary every step of the way, a process that can take 90 days for one saddle!

Of all the components in a quality saddle, none is more important than the leather, and Brooks carefully examines every single piece of leather ensuring that it's the absolute highest quality. For example, while it's important that all stretch is eliminated, the flexibility of the leather must remain intact so that it can conform to the contours of your body and keep its shape for years to come.

Plus, thanks to the built-in pores in its fine leather, Brooks saddles have natural ventilation so they never become clammy and remain comfortable on even the longest rides on the warmest days. Even better, plenty of Brooks customers have used the same Brooks saddle for 30 or more years, a testament to Brooks' craftsmanship and the fine materials in their saddles.
