Team Pro Special Saddle

Description | 

A true cycling icon, the Brooks Team Pro Special Leather Saddle has been trusted by generations of riders who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship, long-distance comfort and timeless style.

Originally introduced in the 1960s for professional road racers, the Team Pro has evolved into a favourite among touring cyclists, gravel riders and everyday enthusiasts looking for a saddle that only gets better with age. Handcrafted in England from premium vegetable-tanned leather, each saddle gradually moulds to its rider over time, creating a uniquely personalized fit that simply can't be replicated by synthetic materials.

The Special edition elevates this legendary design with beautifully hand-hammered copper rivets and matching copper-plated steel rails, adding a classic finishing touch to custom builds and heritage-inspired bicycles.

Ideal for riders who spend long hours in the saddle, the Team Pro Special balances firm support with natural flexibility, allowing the leather to absorb road vibration while maintaining excellent pedalling efficiency. With proper care, it's a saddle designed to deliver decades of reliable performance and develop a rich patina that tells the story of every ride.

Whether you're building a dream steel bike, preparing for a cross-country tour or simply looking for one of the finest leather saddles ever made, the Brooks Team Pro Special remains a benchmark for comfort and craftsmanship.

Usage Tips & Compatibility |

Like all premium leather saddles, the Team Pro Special requires a short break-in period during which the leather gradually conforms to your anatomy. The result is a saddle that becomes increasingly comfortable with every ride.

Ideal for:

• Road cycling
• Gravel riding
• Bicycle touring
• Bikepacking
• Randonneuring
• Commuting
• Classic steel bicycles
• Custom builds

To maximize the life of your saddle, apply Brooks Proofide leather dressing periodically and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or extended wet conditions. A properly cared-for Brooks leather saddle can provide decades of reliable service.

The Team Pro Special is best suited to riders who prefer a slightly sportier riding position than the Brooks B17 while still enjoying the unmistakable comfort of natural leather.
