Brooks Flyer S

The 'S' designation indicates this is the women's specific version of the Flyer. It features a shorter nose and a slightly wider rear profile to better accommodate female anatomy, ensuring more effective support during longer rides.

Yes, it will feel firm initially. Brooks leather saddles require a 'break-in' period where the leather naturally molds to your sit bones. Expect it to feel significantly more comfortable after the first 100 to 200 miles of riding.

The springs are designed to absorb vibrations and impacts from rougher road surfaces or gravel paths. While they add comfort, they do add weight, so they are best suited for touring, commuting, or casual riding rather than lightweight performance racing.

Yes, you will need to treat the leather occasionally with a leather dressing, such as Proofide, to keep it supple and protected from moisture. It is also recommended to use a saddle cover if you frequently park your bike outside in the rain.

Absolutely. The Flyer S is specifically designed for bikes where the handlebars are level with or higher than the saddle, such as city bikes or touring setups. The wider shape and springs are optimized for this more upright posture.
