PRO Stealth Team Saddle

My Aeroad came with a 140mm Fizik 3d printed saddle, nice quality but the comfort wasnt there for me. My cycling coach recommended the Pro Stealth for me. I went with the 152mm since i have wider seat bones and as soon as i sat on this for the first time i could tell a huge difference from the 140mm stock saddle. The cut out in the middle is generous and comfortable, and the short nose works well for an aero position on an aero bike. I run it pretty level and its been great for about 1000 miles so far.

I have been riding the first generation of this saddle for many years, and still have them on several of my bikes. I recently built an Enve Melee with this new version of the saddle, and Pro improved on what was already a very comfortable saddle. The difference is this new one has slightly more padding right under your sit bones, which I am guessing for most of us is a very good thing. Don't be put off by the description of the saddle saying it's "designed for an aggressive, forward riding position." I have found that short nosed saddles are more comfortable, and this one works no matter if you ride in an aggressive, more aero position, or more upright.

I had been riding my ORCA OMX for 2 years with the Specialized S-Works Power Saddle.

For the first 10 miles of every ride I would always experience a gradual numbing/lack of blood flow(?) down my inner left leg. Standing out of the saddle would immediately remedy it, but I knew that wasn't something I should have to be doing to become comfortable ESPECIALLY on the flats.

I decided to go in to get an updated fit at Piermont Bike shop by Jason. We realized I was now riding much more aero than 2 years ago and obviously something else in my body dynamics was changing. We dropped my stem dramatically (as well as some other things tweaks) and he pointed out that the Power Saddle had a very severe drop off in width. I couldn't imagine the nose width of the Pro would be comfortable. I was wrong. I now ride w/o thinking about my saddle which is how it is supposed to be.

Granted, that doesn't mean this saddle will work for you. Unfortunately, chasing comfortable saddles and shoes is time consuming and expensive $$ (I was married to Sidi and Shimano shoes, but once introduced to Lake, they're here to stay). Having a great fitter will lessen the cost and shorten the search in the long run as long as they are honest and would admit the lines they carry aren't best for you and would recommend other manufacturers.

The only thing I miss about my specialized saddle, is that in grey, it looked awesome on my Orca ??

I have used the ISM Adamo saddle for years for my road and triathlon bikes. I was looking for something different for my gravel bike and decided to give this one a shot. After just 2 rides I was sold and immediately bought another for my road bike. I only ride for an hour - 3 hours at a time, but it has been a very comfortable saddle on the racier side.

Finally switched to this saddle from my stock Fizik, im on the wider side so the 152mm was a great choice. Super light, nice build quality and looks good on the bike (Aeroad CFR)
