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).

After months of discomfort and wasted money finally a saddle that is truly comfortable. Saddles are a very particular thing for everyone but, the staff at BTD listened and suggested this saddle. Centuries are no longer torturous.This saddle has enough padding and provides great ventilation but more importantly no numbing. Many thx to the staff for making riding a pleasure again.

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 dide
This saddle didn't work for me.
Although I want to mention that it is well-made, light, and at a good price thanks to BTD.
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.
Review by SFBiker
Initalliy the saddle feels hard, but after a couple of hours the saddle disappears. The stub nose and wide cutouts make forward riding position more comfortable.
Review by Basil
ive used arione & antares fizik saddles in the past and have found this far superior for my bum.
i tend to use the middle and front of the saddle more and this just fits my riding style perfectly while providing all day comfort.
i know everyones different but if you are looking for something that has a bit wider nose while having cutouts for reducingeliminating perennial pressure - this is the saddle for you
the accessories (gopro mount & fender) that attaches to mounting points under the saddle is a plus.
Review by Happy junk
I am a previous adamo user who just couldnt get over that crazy dual nose design. The Pro Stealth does just about the same thing without all the seat heightfore-aft drama. Just slap it in and go. After two 40 plus mile rides, feels like the saddle I should have been riding from the beginning.

Have tried alot of saddles but this was the perfect mix of a traditional and adamo style... simple clean look with a bit of nose width thats just right to move up on and hammer down.
Review by MPK3n
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.
Review by a_Tri_called_Quest
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.
