Best Flying Mounts and the Full Saddle Upgrade Path

Updated 2026-07-23

There are 28 flying mounts in Palworld, and the speed gap between them is enormous — the fastest flyer sprints more than four times quicker than the first one you'll unlock. This guide ranks the flyers by their real sprint stats, then lays out the exact saddle-by-saddle upgrade path so you're always on the fastest wings your tech level allows.

The 10 Fastest Flying Mounts

FlyerSprint SpeedSaddle Tech Lv
Jetragon330079
Shaolong280077
Eidrolon275068
Eidrolon Ignis275076
Frostallion180062
Frostallion Noct180062
Selyne160053
Faleris140060
Faleris Aqua140060
Roujay135072

Jetragon isn't just first — at 3300 sprint it laps the field, which is why catching the level 70 legendary is worth planning a whole expedition around (here's where all the legendaries spawn). The real surprise is Eidrolon: 2750 sprint at saddle Tech 68, giving you near-Jetragon speed eleven tech levels earlier.

The Upgrade Path: Fastest Flyer at Every Tech Level

Each row is a strict speed upgrade over everything before it — ride each one until the next saddle unlocks and you'll never fly slower than you have to:

TipThe two big jumps are Ragnahawk → Selyne (Tech 33 to 53, a long stretch on the same wings) and Frostallion → Eidrolon at 68, where speed leaps by nearly a thousand. If you're mid-game and impatient, Eidrolon is the target to rush.

Flyers That Do More Than Fly
