Product Information
Full details
The PRO Stealth Performance Saddle is designed for competitive road cyclists who demand an aggressive, aerodynamic position without sacrificing long-ride comfort. It features a short, wide nose and a broad anatomic recess that allows riders to maintain a deep tucked position while reducing pressure on sensitive areas; however, the firm racing-oriented padding may feel too rigid for casual riders accustomed to plush, upright saddles.

FAQs
Is the 152mm width suitable for everyone?
The 152mm width is generally recommended for riders with average to wider sit-bone spacing. It is often worth measuring your sit-bones at a local bike shop to confirm.
Can I use this for mountain biking?
While it can be mounted on an MTB, it is optimized for road cycling aerodynamics and may not provide enough comfort for the technical, upright movements of mountain biking.
Does the stainless steel rail work with carbon rail clamps?
Yes, INOX rails are standard round rails and are compatible with most carbon seatpost clamps designed for round rails.
How should I clean the PU cover?
Use warm water and a soft cloth. Do not use a pressure washer, as high-pressure water can damage the internal padding and base.
Why is the nose so short?
The short nose removes material that is not needed for support in an aggressive position, helping to reduce chafing and weight.
Troubleshooting
Saddle feels too firm or causes pressure
Adjust the saddle angle by 1 degree downward. Often, a minor tilt allows for better pelvis rotation, reducing pressure on the nose.
Creaking noise during pedaling
Check that the saddle rail bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification. Applying a light layer of grease to the rail clamp contact points can also eliminate noise.
Slipping forward during rides
Ensure the saddle is perfectly level. If it is tilted too far forward, the rider will naturally slide toward the nose.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent support for aggressive aerodynamic positions
- Large central relief channel significantly reduces pressure
- Stiff platform ensures efficient power transfer
- Lightweight construction suitable for competitive racing
- Durable, friction-reducing surface materials
Cons
- Firm padding may be uncomfortable for riders preferring plush saddles
- Short-nose design requires careful bike fit adjustments
- Not intended for upright or endurance-style geometry
- Firm construction provides little dampening on rough road surfaces
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper fit, use a professional level to ensure the saddle is set perfectly flat, or slightly nose-down by 1-2 degrees if you prefer a more aggressive tilt. Due to the shorter nose length, your seatpost will likely need to be moved slightly forward (5mm-10mm) compared to a standard length saddle to achieve the same reach to the handlebars.
Compatibility:
- Rails: The stainless steel INOX rails are compatible with almost all standard seatpost clamps, including side-loading and bottom-loading rail systems.
Maintenance:
- Keep the PU cover clean by wiping it down with a mild soap and damp cloth after sweaty indoor sessions or wet road rides.
- Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dry out the PU material over time.
- Regularly check the rail-to-clamp interface and ensure bolts are torqued to the seatpost manufacturer's recommended specifications to prevent rail fatigue.
