FAQs
What makes the PRO Stealth Superlight saddle unique?
Its unique combination of an integrated one-piece handmade carbon construction, ultra-low weight, and race-focused ergonomic features like the anatomic cut-out and supportive nose make it stand out for competitive cyclists.
Is this saddle suitable for beginners?
While comfortable for its intended purpose, the aggressive, race-oriented design and short profile are best suited for experienced road cyclists who adopt a more forward riding position. Beginners might prefer saddles with a more upright design.
How do I clean the carbon rails?
Carbon rails should be cleaned gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or solvents. Ensure they are dry before re-installing.
What is the warranty period for this saddle?
Warranty information typically varies by region and retailer. Please consult the product packaging or the retailer where you purchased the saddle for specific warranty details.
Can I use this saddle on a mountain bike?
This saddle is specifically designed for road cycling performance. While it might physically fit, its shape and features are optimized for road riding ergonomics and may not be ideal for the varied terrain and riding positions of mountain biking.
What's the difference between the 142mm and 152mm versions?
The primary difference is the width. The 142mm version is designed for riders who prefer a slightly narrower saddle, while the 152mm version offers more width for those who need additional support and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Saddle creaking or noise
Ensure all bolts on the seatpost clamp are tightened to the correct torque specification. Check for debris or dirt on the saddle rails or within the seatpost clamp. A small amount of carbon assembly paste can sometimes help reduce noise between carbon-on-carbon interfaces.
Discomfort during rides
Re-evaluate saddle height, fore-aft position, and tilt angle. Minor adjustments of 1-2mm can make a significant difference. Consider if the 142mm width is appropriate for your anatomy; a professional bike fit might be beneficial.
Saddle rails showing damage
Inspect rails for any signs of cracking or abrasion. If damage is present, stop using the saddle immediately and consult a professional. Ensure the seatpost clamp is not over-tightened and is correctly aligned with the rails.
Slipping on the saddle
Ensure your cycling shorts are clean and not excessively worn. The smooth PU cover is designed for low friction; if excessive slipping occurs, check saddle tilt and consider if the bike fit needs adjustment.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The PRO Stealth Superlight Saddle is designed to be compatible with standard 7x7mm or 7x9mm carbon saddle rails, common on most modern road bikes. Ensure your seatpost clamp is compatible with carbon rails. When installing, use a torque wrench to tighten the seatpost clamp bolts to the manufacturer's recommended specification (typically 5-7 Nm, but always check your seatpost manual) to avoid damaging the carbon rails. Adjust the saddle fore-aft position and tilt angle to achieve your optimal riding posture, prioritizing comfort and power transfer.
Compatibility: This saddle is intended for adult cyclists and is universally compatible with road bikes. The 142mm width is suitable for riders who benefit from a slightly narrower profile, while a 152mm version is available for those requiring more width. Always ensure your seatpost is designed to accommodate carbon saddle rails.
Care: To maintain the saddle's performance and appearance, clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the carbon fiber and PU cover. Store the bike in a dry place and protect the saddle from prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions.
