Reviews over the

Pro Stealth Superlight Carbon

For me a top saddle

Pros & Cons

Thanks to its rigidity, you can find the position immediately, it is comfortable and in the air position due to its wide tip it does not bother the genitals

It has a very good finish and I have not needed any adjustment to be comfortable.

Pros & Cons

Recommended by my biomechanic, I came from a longer one, and it was a success.

Pros & Cons

Fully meets my expectations, good seat, very light and nice look.

Pros & Cons

More comfortable than the 'basic' version, it is stiffer but paradoxically more comfortable, even though I have an average back flexibility. Fully satisfied with the purchase.

Pros & Cons

I tested the saddle for the review club. I mounted the saddle on my mountain bike, this was done in no time. This is where I do considerable touring. I mountain biked about 4 tours. The saddle is pleasant, it is not hot / sweaty. However, I did suffer from saddle soreness for two days afterwards. Unfortunately, this did not diminish.

Pros & Cons

First impression was the beautiful packaging and the the saddle is extremely light and feels sturdy. On the finish, no expense was spared. The saddle is easy to fit and adjust for the markings under the saddle. The hardness may take some getting used to, but especially for longer distances it is ideal because you lose almost no energy. The hole in the saddle provides good ventilation and less pressure, making long distances an even greater pleasure. An excellent saddle for a still, to my mind, high price. If you are up for it, this is the saddle you want.

Pros & Cons

I was very much looking forward to the arrival of this saddle. Unfortunately, it was not quite a match for me :( I feel it is too narrow and I need a wider saddle. It feels hard but that's fine on its own after a while. It looks nice and is very light. I understand why people are enthusiastic but for me it was unfortunately not a fit.

Pros & Cons

Living up to its name, this saddle is Superlight. The rails and bottom are made entirely of carbon, which looks very professional. Good to know, the rails are oval for extra strength. So I would check that, any seatpost that clamps from the bottom and top is going to work (see photos). Only when the seat post clamps from the clamp you need a conversion kit. I can be brief about the comfort, which is really super. Just make sure you choose the right seat bone width (listed on the Mantel site). Because of the shape, and especially the notch in the middle, you sit really well on your seat bones and not on other sensitive parts. The foam is stiff, so you won't wobble just like that. You have to love that. I have now ridden several 50 km rides with it, and it is really nice in combination with Assos Mille GT trousers. If you do want more comfort, there is also a cheaper version of this saddle, which has no carbon and more padding.

Pros & Cons

't took some getting used to at first. This saddle is quite different from most of the standard saddles that come with bikes. But after a short period of getting used to it, I don't want anything else. Attaching the saddle is simply loosening the screws and tightening them again, but adjusting it correctly requires (like any other saddle) some finesse. make sure you take a photo of how your current saddle is adjusted. on the first ride, it was immediately noticeable that this saddle is a lot wider here the pressure and contact points are a bit different. The fact that the centre piece is missing also makes for a different pressure point ratio. This took some getting used to, but after a few rides you won't want to do anything else. top saddle. Furthermore, the complete picture looks tight. The thin, sturdy saddle looks great on any road bike.

Pros & Cons

The saddle is very light and looks nicely finished. Was allowed to test out the saddle. This saddle is slightly shorter than my own, which is very comfortable. The saddle is very stiff and has a fairly hard seat, which is why I especially like it for short rides. However, at longer distances I noticed it was a bit less comfortable, but this is probably a matter of getting used to.

Pros & Cons

From the moment the saddle arrived, I was immediately happy. The saddle came in good quality packaging. After taking it out of the packaging, I immediately mounted it on my bike. Fitting was very easy so no trouble at all. On my first ride with the new saddle I had no trouble at all. You notice the weight of my saddle compared to this one, but not necessarily while cycling. For myself, I also found the stiffness perfect. As a result, you lose zero energy. The quality of the saddle itself is very good. As you can already see from the name, it is made of carbon. This is not only super light and very sturdy, but also looks very good. In addition, it is very easy to keep clean. I did not expect beforehand that I would find the saddle so good, The only downside for myself is that it is quite pricey. Otherwise, a top product.

Pros & Cons

Not every saddle is suitable for every racing cyclist. I was able to test the Pro Stealth Superlight Carbon, first 30 km were positive for me. unfortunately, after that I struggled to find a good position around the saddle. a few days later I went for my second ride on this saddle . struggled to finish my ride because of painful pressure points on my buttocks. Even then I noticed that the saddle was not for me.

Pros & Cons

The saddle looks super! The design from 1 part carbon is really fantastic. Had many problems myself with saddles that were ridden crooked quickly due to a leg length difference. This saddle a lot of confidence that it won't happen. It is also very stiff which I find very pleasant without feeling too hard. The saddle does best suit an aggressive seat, meaning a lot at the bottom of the stirrup or lying on the handlebars. When I sit straight up, I notice that the saddle is just a bit narrow for me. Possibly the 152 mm width size would suit me better in that case.

Pros & Cons

This saddle is very light and easy to fit. The hardness has been all right with me after all the warnings beforehand. I cycle about 50-60km per ride and the saddle remains comfortable.

Pros & Cons

It is, in my opinion, an incredibly expensive saddle, and so I didn't take it out of the package because it would look like a flag on a mud boat on my 20-year-old road bike. If you are looking for a light carbon saddle, though, this seems to me to be an ideal saddle.

Pros & Cons

Because it has been raining a lot recently and the weather has been a bit less, I have unfortunately not been able to do many rides and kilometres using the saddle. During the rides I did make, I noticed that the saddle gives very good support and offers a lot of comfort. Whereas other saddles often resulted in an unpleasant feeling in the noble areas and caused pressure points after not too many kilometres, this saddle only bothered me a little after a long time. My suspicion is that this is mainly due to getting used to the saddle, and that this will improve over time. The saddle is super light, but others probably gain more from that than I do. The saddle's biggest drawback is its high price. A slightly more reasonable price and the 5th star is also in.

Pros & Cons

From the first moment, a very nice saddle. I actually sat right away. No saddle pain or chafing. Longest trip so far 160km. Top saddle!

Pros & Cons

I got to test this one for a month. I have now done 8 rides with it. Sitting comfort is super nice, I never had saddle pain before but with this everyone can ride without pain. The superlight wasn't necessary for me, I don't notice it much. But what it is made for, a top saddle.

Pros & Cons

This saddle alone is a treat to buy. It really is a premium product and you can tell that from the packaging. Once out of the packaging, you only notice how light this saddle is. It literally weighs, to the touch, next to nothing. And then the assembly, which was a piece of cake. But beware, the brackets for mounting are oval. There are saddle clamps that can only handle round brackets! The most important thing, at least for me, is the effect while cycling. Well that took some getting used to at first. No problem for the first 2 hours but then I started to get a bit sore. Probably because I sit a bit differently on this saddle than my previous saddle. Because after about 3 hours I had no more pain. Longest ride is 150km and had no complaints. I think this is partly due to the large recess in the middle. After all, where there is nothing, nothing can pinch :) Another thing you notice while cycling is that the saddle is very stiff. So no noise, movement or other things in the saddle that take up energy. In short, I am very satisfied with this saddle.

Pros & Cons

Over the past few years, I have used many saddles, but never one as light as this one. It is extremely light. Meanwhile, I have already worn out many kilometres on it and I am getting more and more enthusiastic about this saddle. I can well imagine that a novice cyclist will experience this saddle as very hard. However, eventually you get used to it and start to appreciate the stiffness. However, the price is something you have to put up with, but as a competitive cyclist, mile-eater or enthusiast, you will have to pay it.

Pros & Cons

I have been riding it for about a month now and have mainly trained indoors because of the weather. The reason I wanted a different saddle was precisely because I used to get discomfort during indoor training, which is no longer the case. I love the saddle and love to sit on it. For me it is a successful saddle if I notice little or nothing from it and that is the case here. It is a relatively small saddle so make sure this is something you do opt for.

Pros & Cons

Before I had this saddle I had the Bontrager Aeolus Comp, steel rails, 145 mm width. In terms of price/quality ratio, this was a perfect saddle. Yet I went for the PRO superlight because of high expectations and I was curious whether such a stiff saddle will make a difference. The saddle is extremely stiff, and you notice it. There is hardly any movement in it while cycling. This results in an enormously efficient transfer of power towards your pedals. The first 10 times cycling, this takes some getting used to. With a stiffer saddle, comfort drops. For those who don't mind that, this saddle is a good choice! Especially for long rides, a hard, stiff saddle is a good outcome. Then the weight! If you have a light bike, a light saddle belongs with it. The carbon, the open piece in the middle and the sloping back are a relief to the eye (see photo). The only downside I can think of is that the saddle rails (carbon) are moulded in an oval shape. These rails did not fit in my seat post (which only accommodates a round rail). This forced me to buy new so check first if this fits your bike! All in all, a perfect lightweight and stiff saddle for the (pro) cyclist!

Pros & Cons

I myself am used to a slightly bigger and heavier saddle, so it took some getting used to when I first got on the bike with this saddle. First of all, the fitting; Fitting went very smoothly actually. I already mentioned it in the plus points, but there is a handy tool in the packaging (no more than a cardboard piece), which you can use to measure the distance between handlebars and saddle. After this, you can easily mount the saddle at a perfect distance on the bike. The saddle felt a bit stiff at first. In fact, I am also used to slightly softer saddles, but actually, after a nice route, I didn't bother with it. I was very comfortable on the saddle. Nevertheless, it did take me some time to get used to the saddle. I immediately noticed that this saddle is a lot lighter than the ones I normally use. It may only make a few grams difference, but in a way it does make for more speed. All in all, a pleasant saddle that will definitely be used for more kilometres.

Pros & Cons

Very light and stiff saddle which feels comfortable, although the hardness takes some getting used to at first. The saddle has a nice design and fitting it is very easy. Take off the old saddle and simply screw on the new one. I myself came from a saddle that came standard on my bike and felt quite soft. So this saddle is quite a change. Not only in hardness, but especially in weight and stiffness. The saddle invites you to use the road bike for what it is meant to do: race! The opening in the saddle also ensures good circulation, which is nice for longer rides. The saddle is on the wide side at the front, so it takes some time to find the right position on the saddle. Furthermore, I had expected the finish of the saddle to be of slightly higher quality considering the price. There is a paint stripe on the front, which is only visible when looking very closely, but which should not be there.

Pros & Cons

Pro Stealth Superlight An avid cyclist and MTB rider for years and now the chance to ride on this saddle. And fair is fair: the saddle looks great and weighs only 157 grams. All carbon what beats the clock. Leaving aside the marginal weight difference compared to a more traditional saddle, one thing is clear: This is not a normal saddle! My initial pressure is that the saddle feels hard and it is clearly wider than my current saddle. But what a treat! OK, it might not make you cycle faster, but morale it certainly gives. For those looking for a comfortable saddle for long rides, look no further. But if you are looking for maximum performance, right looks and have a budget, then this saddle is an absolute must!

Pros & Cons

After receiving the saddle, I found the box quite heavy. Once I took the saddle out of the packaging, I was shocked at how light this saddle really is. Once I put it on the scales to compare with my current saddle. This turned out to be half the weight! Now I am not a professional cyclist, but if weight does matter, this is an excellent upgrade for the purpose of weight reduction on your bike. The packaging has a handy measuring tool that you can 'rip out'. This can be put around your old and new saddle to record measurements. This is what I used, because it is very nice to get the measurements right after fitting the saddle. For me, a good sitting position is very precise. After fitting, which went super fast, I immediately went for a first ride. The saddle is fairly short and has a bit of a rounded seat towards the sides. This combined with the width, which is quite narrow, makes you wobble back and forth on your saddle a bit. Not bothersome for me in the first 30 kilometres, but not yet perfect. Eventually after much fiddling with the right position, I thought I had found the sizing and the saddle seemed quite comfortable. In any case, the stiffness of the saddle is very pleasant. The slightly soft pad means the saddle is not rock hard. However, after a few long rides, the saddle's wobbling was annoying and my doubts began. The wobbling made me start to feel like I was standing on the pedals instead of having support from the saddle. My conclusion is that the size I have (142 mm) is too narrow for me. I am going to swap this saddle for the 152, because otherwise it is rete-fine

Pros & Cons

I had the pleasure of testing this saddle for 4 weeks. Today I rode the 8th ride, I have a traditional saddle but what a top saddle this is. Super light and stiff while maintaining comfort. Very easy to mount and adjust. I already had no saddle sores but probably for everyone when using this. If you are considering another saddle, this is a very good option, highly recommended.

Pros & Cons

Very nice, compact and rigid saddle. The carbon of the saddle frame flows nicely into the guides. Disadvantage is that not all panniers fit under the saddle. Nice of shimano, though, that you can screw a special shimano saddle bag under your saddle. Nevertheless, I think it is an expensive saddle and if weight saving is not the driver for this saddle, I think a cheaper Stealth variant will also do very well. It is a nice product.

Pros & Cons

The saddle is nice and light. Tight design. The saddle is comfortable at first, but after some time (+/- half an hour) you start to feel it. Especially on your seat bones. I cycle about 18 km to work and while going there was fine, coming back I was not comfortable on the saddle. My seat bones were very sensitive. I didn't have a nice ride back. That made me decide to dismount right away when I got home. Maybe you have to go through it, but I like to cycle comfortably and I didn't have that with this saddle. It looks super, but that's where it stops for me.

Pros & Cons

Excellent product

Pros & Cons

I first tried the stealth carbon (30-day promotion) and found it super comfortable. I wanted to save some more weight and went for the stealth superlight, also because I thought it would be the same. However, this one is still a bit stiffer and a bit less comfortable. I keep this one because it is still a super saddle, but the stealth carbon would have been better for me.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Very nice finishes, just to see the carbon shapes is worth it, comfortable for the shape to support the ischiums well !

Excellent saddle, comfortable and very light. The only downside is the not-so-affordable price

Pros & Cons

Stiff saddle, i like the wider nose. Took a while to find a comfy position but once i did i found it very comfy
