Product Information
Full details
The PRO Stealth Team Saddle is engineered for competitive adult cyclists seeking an aerodynamic edge. Its primary benefit is enabling an aggressive, forward riding position for maximum power output and reduced wind resistance. A potential caveat is that its specialized design may require an adjustment period for riders not accustomed to aggressive geometry. This saddle features a stiff yet lightweight construction with carbon rails and EVA padding, a short-length design for forward positioning, and an anatomic recess for comfort and pressure relief.

FAQs
Is this saddle suitable for long-distance touring?
While designed for performance, the anatomic recess and EVA padding offer comfort. However, its aggressive, short-length design is optimized for forward positions, which may not be ideal for all riders during very long, relaxed touring rides.
What is the main advantage of the short-length design?
The short-length design allows riders to adopt and maintain an aggressive, aerodynamic, and forward-leaning position more comfortably and effectively, which is crucial for racing and time trials.
How do I know which width (142mm or 152mm) is right for me?
Saddle width selection depends on individual sit bone width and riding style. A professional bike fit is recommended for precise measurement and recommendation.
Can I use this saddle with an electronic seatpost?
Compatibility depends on the specific electronic seatpost's clamp mechanism. Ensure it is designed to securely grip standard 7mm round carbon rails.
What is the 'triple bridge design'?
The triple bridge design is a structural element that enhances the saddle's rigidity and durability, particularly in the central area.
How does the wide, stubby nose benefit the rider?
The wider, shorter nose provides a stable and comfortable platform when the rider is positioned very far forward on the saddle, distributing pressure more effectively.
Does the saddle come with a specific type of clamp?
No, the saddle features standard 7mm round carbon rails and requires a compatible seatpost clamp that can securely hold this rail type.
Troubleshooting
Saddle creaking or noise
Ensure saddle rails are clean and properly torqued in the seatpost clamp. Check for any debris between the rails and the clamp.
Discomfort in forward position
Allow for an adjustment period of several rides. Ensure proper saddle height and fore/aft position are set. Experiment with minor angle adjustments.
Difficulty positioning
Verify that your seatpost clamp is compatible with 7mm round carbon rails. Ensure the saddle is centered in the clamp before final tightening.
