It took a few adjustments to dial in the saddle position. Initial rides on the trainer would yield discomfort after 2 hours on the saddle. Some minor adjustments moving the saddle forward and the nose downward resulted in a comfortable fit. The wider nose provides much more support for occasional forward seating position. The wider channel is a huge benefit that allows pressure relief while seated anywhere on the saddle. The firmness from the carbon rails and shell are noticeable, but nothing a good pair of bib shorts cannot alleviate. The first ride outside was 7 hour, 6.6K ft of climbing day with no major issues from the saddle in terms of discomfort. I was concerned with taking a new saddle out on a long day, but this saddle performed perfectly for me. My other saddles used are Salle Italia Super Flow SLR and Brooks C13. For me the Pro Stealth is on par for comfort with the Super Flow SLR. I haven't had enough saddle time in the C13 to compare. I would recommend this saddle for those looking for a short and wide nose, plus a wide pressure relief channel.

I've been riding and racing bicycles since 1990 and have ridden dozens of saddles. As a female cyclist I've struggled to find a saddle comfortable enough to ride for hours on the road and race on the track. This saddle is perfect. I now have one on every bike. Great for road rides, track, and time trials.

This saddle is on my road bike that is very aggressive and is more comfortable than my Sitero saddle that is on my TT bike. I may swap the two or may even get another one of these.

I've had the opportunity to test out the Specialized Saddle and the PRO Stealth. Specialized felt too narrow up front when you are really pushing the pedals while in the nose. I've found the PRO Stealth to be much more comfortable. I love the large central cut-out to reduce any pressure. I've been searching for that perfect saddle for a couple of years and finally found this one that eliminated all the hot spots. The Carbon version takes a 7x9mm ears. Build quality is great, it is light and most importantly comfortable. Highly recommend giving this saddle a try!

This is a great saddle. Similar to the Specialized per power saddle with a slightly wider nose and wider relief channel. For me personally I find this slightly more comfortable, but everyone's bum is different.
Certainly wins in the looks department.
Review by Kbogey
Pro has just about nailed it with this saddle. It is very comfortable for me on rides under 60km but in begin to feel the two narrow parts on longer rides. A little better cushioning would do the trick.

After having the specialized power saddle for one season I switch to the pro carbon. The nose is a little longer with more support and overally slightly wider. Bigger cutout. For the price in carbon its also alot cheaper
Review by Ivan
I have try so may saddles and this one so far is maybe the best one. I'm still adjusting to it, but i think is a winner.

I have tried Brooks Swallow saddle, Williams saddle, Specialized Toupe. For me this is the most comfortable saddle. I never have saddle sores with this and I'm comfortable both on the rear part of the saddle and on the nose. I also don't get numb groin anymore either. I ride 6-10 hrs per week, 13 to 12 of that on the trainer and this works great for me. This saddle was a little hard on my butt initially, but it broke in really fast after the first week. Now I'm considering getting it for my commuter bike and my MTB (the just released Offroad version).

Certainly saddles are very personal, as is this review I've ridden the Stealth Carbon for about two months and for me, bar none, it's the best that I've used. Its width in its center and forebody, where I spend a lot of time, means that I can shift forward when climbing and I'm still supported by my sitting bones. My weight doesn't shift to soft tissue perched on an uncomfortably narrow nose. I live in the mountains, most of my rides are 3-4 hours with no choice but lots of climbing, and comfort when using the full length of the saddle is critical. I find the center and nose of most saddles too narrow, including wider versions, and they become very uncomfortable on extended climbs. A bonus with the Stealth is that you can give it a few rides to be sure that you like it--the manufacturer offers a 30-day money-back warranty.

I use the PRO Stealth Carbon Saddle on a high end road bike. I was searching for comfortable yet supportive lightweight saddle for rides up and around 50 miles. I believe I've found that saddle for a reasonable price. There isn't anything I dislike regarding the saddle. I do appreciate the finish and proper amount of padding without being too stiff.

Great saddle relief of soft tissue pressure. Wish it had more padding a little uncomfortable after 5-hour century ride but works great for relief of pressure. Rails are oval shaped - may not fit your saddle clamps

Pros - light weight carbon
- integrated camera mount facing rear.
Cons - must make sure your seat height is correct.
- takes a few rides to get used to the hard material. No compliance.
- not good for long or all day training rides.
-only good application is racing, but just barely.
- would not recommend for female riders.

This is the most comfortable saddle that I've used in 30+ years of previously using many various Selle and Fizik models. I now have about 2000 miles on the Pro Stealth and, from the first ride, have had no comfort issues at all.

I do triathlon and try to aero for most of my rides. The wider nose and wide cut out make this the best saddle I have used. It is hard with very little padding but somehow that hasn't lead to soreness unlike my previous cushier saddle. It is expensive but the 30 day garantee make it a safer gamble than other expensive saddles.
Review by Kim Butler
Overall like the saddle. The cutout is large which is good for prostrate protection The saddle is short so should be good for remounts for cyclocross Will See in the fall. The nose is a bit wider in front than my other saddles. Legs touched slightly but did not bother them. So overall I am happy with the saddle. It was on sale for price was fair. At full price, it is a little bit on high price side

Pretty comfortable if you race. Not a Grand Fondo 3 hour saddle in my opinion.
Review by SMAUR
I tried this saddle because I wanted to relieve pressure in my private region, especially when in drops. It's great for short, punchy, racecrit type rides, but I found it uncomfortable on long rides. It took care of the numbness but caused other issues like saddle sores. I do like it though and recommend it to racers.
Review by N Velez
This is my second Pro saddle after trying many others. As saddles are very hit or miss this one is very right. It could be the one youve been looking for and at a great price.
