The Brooks Swift combines classic Brooks styling with a more aggressive geometry for the rider that wants a lightweight and more performance oriented saddle. The Brooks Swift has traditionally only been available with titanium rails but Brooks is now offering it with a chrome plated steel framework for those who prefer steel. The steel rails would give more durability to a heavier rider, especially if your weight is over 200lbs.
Classic Brooks styling is included in every Brooks Swift saddle and the hand hammered copper rivets and skived leather cover exemplify the level of detail that goes into every Brooks Swift saddle.

My first bike any value was an imported (handmade bicycle). Pretty much standard issue was a brooks saddle (antique brown: leather, of course!).
The bicycle and saddle have been with me for thirty years and the ride just gets better and better, because my brooks saddle has gotten better and better.
When I purchased my Trek portland I just couldn't find a saddle which provided the ride or beauty of my old brooks saddle. After finally settling on the brooks swift saddle (antique brown, surprise, )it seems that I picked up where I left off.
Buy the brooks kit for saddle maintenance (It will help the saddle conform to your unique anatomy) and you will never be disappointed. I do about 50 miles a ride and I am as comfortable as ever. No it is not the lightest saddle but it does get attention, and will not disappoint.
