The PRO Stealth Performance Saddle features a broad short-nosed design intended for maintaining a forward, aggressive riding position for a long period of time. Perfectly suited for triathletes or road racers looking to exploit an aerodynamic advantage by extending their time in the drops.
With pressure points in mind, the EVA padding has been specifically designed to take into account sit bone comfort in the three major riding positions: drops, hoods and aero bars.
The Stealth Performance's large anatomic recess alleviates pressure through the perineal region allowing riders to maintain aggressive pursuit positions in the drops for longer periods of time.

This saddle works for me. I have three of them for three different bikes in the 152 width. It took me a while to figure out I needed a wider saddle but once I did it made all my rides more comfortable. I stopped noticing my saddle, and stopped feeling any discomfort, especially on longer rides. I'm very happy this saddle is offered in a wider size. The shape of the saddle is good for all types of bikes. I have used it on a road bike, cross bike and mountain bike and it just works well for me. Only down side is price. It can be expensive to buy multiples of this saddle. Eventually I did spend the money (over $350) to have this saddle on all my bikes. Worth it to not have to move saddles around from bike to bike.
I didn't want to like this saddle, but I was out of time. I had spent almost one year anticipating delivery of my spare-no-expense dream custom road build and wanted the fanciest, latest-tech, 3D-printed saddle available. Unfortunately, I tested the 3D saddle on another bike and found it so painful for my 6'4' 215 lbs that after just 25mi I couldn't sit normally in a chair for three days. So as the big day arrived to take home my dream rig, my LBS mounted up this cheap 'placeholder ' PRO saddle, and now I couldn't be happier. Sure, the PRO is kinda strange to look at, with that plasticity shell and those cross struts. But after 2100mi on my dream machine, I'm reluctant to switch it. Yes, it's not befitting of my otherwise full DuraAce carbon-everything rig, and I have fancier saddles on other bikes, yet I cannot argue with comfort and performance. And given that dialing in saddle position always takes me some time, I'm planning to keep this saddle for many more miles.
I'm an older rider, with certain parts of my anatomy not quite as tightly stretched as the once were. I had been riding a Specialized Power saddle, with a stubbier nose for aero positions, but was finding that there simply wasn't enough saddle in front to be comfortable both tucked and upright. So I bought this Pro saddle - still stubby but with a wider nose, and so far (5 months, 1500 miles) it has pretty much taken care of that issue. I still find I'm a bit sorer after aggressive rides (maybe no way around that), but I no longer find myself constantly wriggling to find just the right position during a ride.
This saddle fits me better than any saddle I've used, and I've used several. The shape and padding are perfect. However, the cross sections in the center channel (especially the middle one) interfere with soft tissue that would otherwise get relief in the channel. Ouch. Hopefully future versions will eliminate these cross sections.
