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

| Flyer | Sprint Speed | Saddle Tech Lv |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Jetragon](https://palworld-db.com/pal/jetragon) | 3300 | 79 |
| [Shaolong](https://palworld-db.com/pal/shaolong) | 2800 | 77 |
| [Eidrolon](https://palworld-db.com/pal/eidrolon) | 2750 | 68 |
| [Eidrolon Ignis](https://palworld-db.com/pal/eidrolon-ignis) | 2750 | 76 |
| [Frostallion](https://palworld-db.com/pal/frostallion) | 1800 | 62 |
| [Frostallion Noct](https://palworld-db.com/pal/frostallion-noct) | 1800 | 62 |
| [Selyne](https://palworld-db.com/pal/selyne) | 1600 | 53 |
| [Faleris](https://palworld-db.com/pal/faleris) | 1400 | 60 |
| [Faleris Aqua](https://palworld-db.com/pal/faleris-aqua) | 1400 | 60 |
| [Roujay](https://palworld-db.com/pal/roujay) | 1350 | 72 |

[Jetragon](https://palworld-db.com/pal/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](https://palworld-db.com/guides/all-legendary-pals)). The real surprise is [Eidrolon](https://palworld-db.com/pal/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:

| Tech Lv | Flyer | Sprint |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 15 | [Nitewing](https://palworld-db.com/pal/nitewing) | 750 |
| 20 | [Elphidran](https://palworld-db.com/pal/elphidran) | 800 |
| 21 | [Vanwyrm](https://palworld-db.com/pal/vanwyrm) | 850 |
| 25 | [Helzephyr](https://palworld-db.com/pal/helzephyr) | 1100 |
| 29 | [Beakon](https://palworld-db.com/pal/beakon) | 1200 |
| 33 | [Ragnahawk](https://palworld-db.com/pal/ragnahawk) | 1300 |
| 53 | [Selyne](https://palworld-db.com/pal/selyne) | 1600 |
| 62 | [Frostallion](https://palworld-db.com/pal/frostallion) | 1800 |
| 68 | [Eidrolon](https://palworld-db.com/pal/eidrolon) | 2750 |
| 77 | [Shaolong](https://palworld-db.com/pal/shaolong) | 2800 |
| 79 | [Jetragon](https://palworld-db.com/pal/jetragon) | 3300 |

> **Tip.** The 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

Several flyers on the path double as [attack-element converters](https://palworld-db.com/guides/pals-that-change-attack-element) or [support Pals](https://palworld-db.com/guides/best-support-pals) while you ride, so your travel mount can also be your combat or farming mount:
