Product Information

Full details

The Pro Stealth Curved Performance Saddle is designed for adult, unisex competitive road cyclists seeking an optimized aerodynamic position with a focus on comfort and minimal weight. Its key benefit is enabling an aggressive riding posture through a rounded profile and slightly narrower nose, ideal for flexible riders who move laterally. A potential caveat is that its specific design may not suit all riding styles or rider flexibility levels.

FAQs

Who is this saddle best suited for?

This saddle is ideal for competitive road cyclists, particularly those who are flexible and frequently ride in an aggressive, aerodynamic position. It's designed for performance and speed.

What is the weight of the saddle?

The weight starts from approximately 204 grams, depending on the width.

What materials are used in its construction?

It features a carbon-reinforced polymer base, stainless steel INOX rails, lightweight EVA padding, and a smooth PU cover.

Can I use this saddle for long-distance touring?

While designed for comfort, its primary focus is on aggressive, aerodynamic riding. For pure long-distance touring where upright positions are preferred, other saddle designs might offer more suitable comfort.

How do I choose between the 142mm and 152mm widths?

Wider saddles (152mm) generally suit riders with a wider sit bone measurement or those who prefer more support. Narrower saddles (142mm) are typically for riders with narrower sit bones or those who want to minimize contact area in an aggressive position. If unsure, consult a professional bike fitter.

Is the saddle suitable for women?

Yes, the saddle is designed for both men's and women's road cycling disciplines.

What makes the nose 'slightly narrower'?

The narrower nose profile, combined with the rounded shape, allows for easier lateral movement and reduces potential chafing or pressure points when a rider shifts their position significantly in an aerodynamic stance.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort during initial rides

This is common with performance saddles. Allow a break-in period of several rides and ensure precise saddle height, fore-aft, and tilt adjustments. Experiment with small adjustments.

Saddle creaking noise

Check that the saddle rails are properly seated and tightened within the seatpost clamp. Apply a small amount of carbon paste (if applicable to your seatpost) or grease to the rails where they enter the clamp to reduce friction.

Difficulty maintaining position

Ensure the saddle tilt is correctly set. A slightly nose-down tilt might be necessary for some riders to achieve an aerodynamic position without pressure. Consider if the saddle width is appropriate for your anatomy.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables an optimized aerodynamic riding position for speed.
  • Lightweight construction contributes to overall bike performance.
  • Durable materials like carbon-reinforced polymer and stainless steel rails.
  • Designed for comfort during aggressive riding with an anatomic recess.
  • Suitable for flexible riders who benefit from lateral saddle movement.

Cons

  • The curved shape and aggressive design may not be ideal for all riding styles.
  • May require an adjustment period for riders new to this saddle profile.
  • Primarily focused on performance, potentially sacrificing some plush comfort for pure endurance riders.
  • Specific width options might limit choices for some riders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Pro Stealth Curved Performance Saddle uses standard rail clamping systems found on most seatposts. Ensure your seatpost clamp is compatible with stainless steel rails. Adjust saddle height, fore-aft position, and tilt angle to your personal preference for optimal comfort and performance. Precise adjustment is key, especially given the saddle's performance-oriented design.

Compatibility: Compatible with most road bike seatposts designed for standard saddle rails. It is suitable for both men's and women's disciplines within road cycling.

Care: Clean the saddle regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the PU cover. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly before drying with a soft cloth. Keep the saddle covered when not in use to protect it from the elements.
