Industry Description:
The Terry Fly Cutaway saddle is a popular model known for its blend of performance and comfort, especially for riders who experience discomfort or numbness. The “Fly” series was originally a joint project between Terry Bicycles and the Italian saddle maker Selle Italia in the late 1990s, aiming to create a comfortable but performance-oriented saddle.
Key Features and Compatibility:
- Cutaway Design: The “Cutaway” or “Cut-Out” is the saddle’s most defining feature. It’s a central relief channel designed to reduce pressure on the soft tissues of the perineal area, which can help prevent numbness and discomfort on long rides.
- “Alloy FeC” Rails: The rails are the part of the saddle that clamp into the seatpost. “FeC Alloy” refers to a Ferrum (iron), Carbon, and Alloy blend. These rails are a common and durable choice, often seen on mid-to-high-end saddles. They are a standard round rail (7mm x 7mm) and are compatible with all standard seatposts that use a dual-rail clamp system.
- Cover Material: The “Leather” cover is a premium feature, offering durability and a classic look. While it may require a short break-in period like other leather saddles, it is known to mold to the rider’s shape over time and provide a high-quality feel.
- Riding Style: The Terry Fly is generally considered a “race” or “performance” saddle. It has a relatively flat profile and a narrow nose, which is preferred by riders who adopt a more aggressive, forward-leaning position. However, its generous padding and cutaway design also make it a favorite for long-distance, endurance, and touring riders who prioritize comfort.
- Versatility: Due to its combination of comfort and performance features, the Terry Fly is a versatile saddle that is compatible with and widely used on road, cyclocross, and even some mountain bikes.

Purchase from me with peace of mind. Not only can you trust my years of experience, but I will also fit you for the bike and provide any mechanical insight at the time of purchase.
