The most comfortable saddle I've ever had in my life
I tried it because of the good reviews and I can say that it is the best saddle I have ever had. I hope it doesn't crackle over time.

Unbeatable
Spectacular, mountain rides of more than 50km and my ass is as good as new.

For off road, and for on road if we have to ride upright due to back problems.
I had already had this saddle on my MTB, so I already knew about its virtues in terms of comfort and resistance. However, a lumbar problem forced me to change the geometry of the road bike, forcing me to ride more upright. On this road bike I had the on road version of this saddle. Wonderful in that it allowed me to endure five-hour stages without resentment. However, as I had to ride more upright, its hardness on the hamstrings forced me to look for an alternative, trying this off road version on the road bike. This solution proved to be perfect for enduring stages of more than four hours without resentment.

Excellent
It's not easy choosing a saddle these days. Thanks to Mantel, we're on our way to finding the right saddle, and with a 30-day trial, we're not risking much. Saddle fitted to a 29" full-carbon full-suspension mountain bike. It lived up to my expectations, allowing long rides without any major perineal pain. The vibration absorption is amazing. Lightweight, it also allows an aggressive riding position and good stability on extremely steep climbs.

Perfect saddle for wide sitboned aggressive off road riders
The off-road version of my road saddle. A beautiful match to my bahookie. Mantels service impeccable as usual.

Superb saddle
I was looking for a comfortable saddle for XC use on a semi-stiff 29" carbon mountain bike. The original Specialized saddle was very stiff, then the new Ergon saddle was a little more comfortable. After 3 rides, the Stealth is remarkably comfortable, with no more sore buttocks. What's more, it's very light, so it's a very good investment. I highly recommend buying it.

Small but fine
As my standard included saddle was really worn out after 8 years, it was time for something new. As a long saddle is not very comfortable for me, I wanted to go for a short model, so I chose the Pro Stealth Offroad. The saddle is easy to mount, as it should be, and adjusts easily. The saddle is very comfortable, whereas with my original saddle I had to change position regularly after just a few kilometres due to irritation, this has not been the case at all with the Stealth. The only downside I can think of is that my long trousers squeak on this saddle. Now, it is not a quality pair of trousers, so that will undoubtedly play a role since my short shorts by Castelli do not suffer from this :-) Meanwhile, I have ordered a new bike and there is no doubt that this saddle will be fitted to the new one straight away!

A high-quality saddle
After receiving the PRO Stealth Offroad Saddle from Shimano, I fitted it to my bike straight away. It comes with a handy measuring piece that you have to put on your old saddle and then use a centimetre to measure how far your saddle is from your handlebars. This made fitting the saddle quite easy and I was ready in no time. What I immediately noticed about this saddle was that it was quite a bit shorter than my current saddle. Furthermore, this saddle is of fine quality and can take a good bump through rough terrain. I had expected the saddle to be a bit softer than it is, but it is certainly damping enough for regular mountain biking in the Netherlands. So the carbon in the saddle should make it last a long time and not sag easily. I have tried this saddle both on mountain bike parkours and on asphalt long distances, haven't had any saddle sores so I really like this saddle.

Saddle does not fit me but is of good quality
I tried this product but it was not for me. I am tall and do not sit very aggressively on my bike. As a result, the flat back now made me sit oddly on my bike. My hands got too far from the handlebars and I had to "activate" myself, whereas I prefer to sit lazier on my bike. The saddle is of good quality and has cushioning in the right places. Furthermore, it also has good stiffness and you notice that it is not a simple saddle. Too bad you end up sitting so far back because otherwise this saddle would have been 5-star for me. In the end, a bit of comfort is important, even if I don't need to sit on a soft saddle. The position I adopt because of this saddle cannot be called comfortable.

Good saddle
I have used the saddle for 2 trips of +/- 50 kilometres. It offers good cushioning, it sits well and was well liked. It is a relatively small saddle, but that was not a problem for me. All in all, I am very satisfied with the saddle.

Fine saddle for both road and off-road.
I got to test the saddle for a month and decided to adopt it, indeed, I bought 1 more for my other bike. I used this saddle on my mountain bike. The saddle is slightly softer than my previous saddle but that was also very hard. What I did have with that saddle was that my trousers would get caught behind the point of the saddle when I had to get out and back. This saddle is very short so that doesn't happen anymore. The saddle has a recess to reduce the pressure on the body. This is very noticeable. Especially during the longer stretches on the road. The saddle is very light and easy to install. In this, you have some leeway to adjust the saddle a little further forward or back. I have recently cycled an average of 2 times and did not get any discomfort even on the longer distances.

Super fine saddle
I was sceptical at first because with my softgel saddle I had to shift quite often after only 20 km or so and got a lot of pain during, but also after cycling. The first time cycling with the pro stealth offroad was a breath of fresh air! I hadn't done a long ride, but there was a noticeable difference during and also after cycling. Now done several long rides and I am converted! My posture is much better, I no longer have saddle pain and I can now easily do my long rides. I am therefore more than satisfied.

Top saddle
When I opened the box, I thought it was nothing to me . The saddle is relatively small, light and slim, which I didn't think would affect comfort. However, I have now used the saddle for 4 mountain bike rides and am very enthusiastic about comfort. In addition, the saddle's slim shape is very attractive. Despite the new price, I definitely recommend this saddle as a saddle with such a shape and such low weight is one of the top saddles. I like riding singletrack bikes where you have a very active posture, but the tracks often include very expensive tracks.

Fine saddle for off-road use
The quality of the packaging of this PRO Stealth Offroad Saddle already radiates quality and I must say that it really comes through. At first, I thought I would have to get used to this somewhat shorter saddle than the one fitted as standard on my mountain bike. But after a few rides, I wouldn't want anything else but this slightly shorter saddle. The closed recessed middle section is really great for off-road riding, at least that part of your trousers stays clean. What's also nice are the slightly rougher areas at the edge of the saddle, which give a slightly better sitting feeling and not so slippery. The padding gives the right support in the right places. All in all, I am happy with this PRO Stealth Offroad Saddle and really should have replaced the standard fitted saddle a bit earlier.

Top saddle for many types of cyclists
At first, after opening the box, I thought I had made a completely wrong purchase. The saddle is relatively small, light and slim in shape, where I thought this would not benefit comfort. However, I have now used the saddle on 4 mountain bike tours and am very enthusiastic about the comfort. In addition, the saddle's slim shape looks very nice. I would, despite the new price, definitely recommend this saddle, as the saddle with this shape and low weight does rank among the top saddles. I like to cycle singletracks where you have a very active posture, but the routes often include whole stretches of endurance tracks.

Upgrade for your mtb!
At first glance, a well-finished and beautiful saddle with high-quality materials. I ride a hardtail myself and was looking for a bit more comfort than the standard saddle supplied. But let's face it the looks matter too matter! Especially on the trails, but also on the road, the saddle lives up to its name. It is also a compact saddle, which makes moving around the saddle on some challenging trails a lot easier. Nice touch is that you could mount a gopro at the bottom of the saddle to capture your rides, or chasers!

Very hard lightweight saddle.
I tested this saddle for several weeks. My first impression was that it is a nice small and lightweight saddle. Definitely recommended for people chasing grams ;-) In the centre of the saddle there is a lowering for pressure relief on soft parts, especially as unpaved roads have quite a few bumps. This provides relief while cycling, especially as a woman. But the saddle is incredibly hard and this caused quite a bit of saddle pain while cycling. I have a good chamois in my cycling shorts but this could not prevent me from getting so much saddle pain that I could not sit normally the next day. Every unevenness was too noticeable. Even after several uses. I also asked my husband to test it several times, he also has a very spartan saddle now, but he too found it really unbearable. Maybe after months of testing the saddle pain will lessen but I have never had so much saddle pain from a saddle. I did not expect this at all, especially as the saddle is specially designed for on dirt trails.

Super comfort when sitting on the back of your saddle
It starts with the packaging. Neat and compact, the saddle arrives and also has a handy description and mounting aid so you can also easily and immediately mount the saddle to your existing saddle. I have now done a few rides and opinions are divided (as my son also uses my mountain bike). I am definitely enthusiastic but he less so. Important for this saddle is to stay well back on your saddle for optimum comfort. if you start pushing on the tip, comfort is less in my case at least. I have also cycled on it without cycling shorts and notice that I perspire less so ventilation seems to work in the middle of the saddle. The suspension is also good and I also notice that during quiet stretches, when I get up to drink, eat and stretch my back, I remain more stable. So all in all, a very pleasant saddle compared to my current, narrower and smoother saddle.

A great saddle for yourself and your bottom.
Lovely to cruise through the woods with a bit of comfort. I am a recreational mountain biker and do not know much about seating positions and ergonomics but can tell when it starts to hurt. While cycling, I found the saddle to be comfortable. Big pluses are the quality and design of the product. Wow what a finish and what a durable product. The level of finish is high which is what you expect from this brand. However, it is true that the saddle was a lot shorter than my own saddle was which made me feel like I was missing the support at times. Also, the saddle seemed dwarfed by my 49" bike, sort of like a kid's head on Rico Verhoeven's body. I can't explain it any other way. You can see this again in the photo. Here you can also see the original saddle, which is a lot bigger.

Top saddle!
I have been using this saddle for a few weeks now and it has actually been a success from the first ride. I experience more grip and control over my bike in the corners and yet it is a comfortable saddle. The first mtb ride was 80 km and it went great! The saddle is firm but soft enough. The recesses in the middle offer excellent comfort, you really lean well on the ischial tuberosities.

Fine and beautiful MTB saddle
Have fitted the saddle to my hybrid MTB. Bike is a hybrid for use off-road and asphalt. Also made a change from 3x8 gears to 1x10. When fitting the saddle as a check, re-measured all measurements (leg length, frame size, seat height and distance to handlebars) and so fitted optimally according to the guidelines described, in my opinion. By the way, have the 142 mm model (am 184 cm tall and weigh 82 kg). Saddle looks nice and tight on the bike.During fitting, I noticed that the saddle is very light and the shell is completely closed at the bottom to stop dirt splashing. Also found screw at the back for attaching accessories (light, water bottle or camera). Top side padding in a few places and fortunately no hand "feel" gel. Find feeling gel on a saddle pad so awful and also doesn't sit at all. Due to the beautiful weather in early May, I did the first km's on my Tacx trainer. Goes just fine. A very fine saddle. Not bothered by anything. Outside also to my complete satisfaction. When you read the saddle's descriptions, all the technical gadgets are mentioned, but a number of them pass this amateur by. Am happy with it and a nice update to my bike.

Very good support
I have had this saddle for 2 weeks now for my mountain bike. I do not use this bike on a daily basis, but when I go out on a mountain bike, I need to be able to sit comfortably, which my old saddle did not do. I soon started to suffer from tingling between my legs. With this saddle, this is a thing of the past. There is a recess in the saddle, but it is sealed so no splashing water or mud can get through. This extremely lightweight saddle has a reinforced carbon shell, making it very strong and durable. When I mounted my saddle on my bike (which was very easy to do by using an Allen key), I found out that it is quite a bit smaller than my old saddle and thought this would be a problem when cycling, but nothing could be further from the truth, because the sloping back actually offers more support when you adopt a deep sitting position. At first glance, the quality of the saddle looks good and I assume it will certainly last a long time!

Compact powerhouse!
At the time of writing, I have several saddles for my MTB at my disposal, however, I currently only use the "Stealth Offroad" from Pro! Because although at first glance the "Stealth Offroad" looked similar to my other saddles, the "Stealth Offroad" not only sits much more comfortably off-road (what it's made for), also for the necessary, asphalted kilometres through the polder, the "Stealth Offroad" is a lot more comfortable! All in all, very satisfied so far!

Good, but quite expensive
I had a chance to test this saddle through the Review Club. An OK saddle. I mounted it on my mountain bike. Some background: I have already tried a number of saddles, but unfortunately I still suffer from saddle pain. I now have a saddle that I like, but when the chance to test this one came along, I wanted to try it anyway. Assembly was fairly easy and it went on smoothly. First trip I made with it was about 18KM. The saddle is fairly firm, is quite hard and after 18 km I could feel some saddle pain. It might also take some getting used to. I notice that it is stiffer than other saddles I have tried. The seat is good, but there is little cushioning. Also with my padded bib shorts. Cleaning goes well, only the ridges on the top are sensitive to dirt and more difficult to clean. All in all, a nice saddle, but I think it is quite expensive in relation to the performance. It’s not really ‘special’ in comparison to other cheaper models I’ve tried.

you don't expect it, where were you all these years ?
For quite some time I had been experimenting with saddles for my Van Nicholas Pioneer. Long, flat, with gel, made of leather, enzenz. I couldn't sit comfortably , couldn't shift comfortably, butt started tingling and the noble parts didn't get happy with the rides either. The bike stayed more and more in the shed and I had given up hope of getting a good saddle. I was going to sell the bike. My whining about it got fed up with my partner and promptly I found this saddle on in the shed. "Try it on, last chance before you sell the bike." I looked at it and thought "what is this? " ... A small and, let me be honest, not very pretty saddle. I can't fit on that, can I? But you can't look a gift horse in the mouth. I took off my old saddle and with the same ease I fitted this little "saddle". Let me get straight to the point. Within 1st lap of Kralingen, the "little saddle " grew in my esteem every metre and second. I couldn't believe my arse. No nagging pain, no tingling noble parts. Cycling is a pleasure again. Bike can stay, partner too :)

Compact
When I first saw it, I thought it was small. Once on the bike, it looks nice and sits well. Off-road it feels good even at distances over 50km. It has a kind of non-slip edge around it that keeps you stable on your saddle.

A fine saddle for longer off-road rides on your MTB
I have been using the Pro Stealth Offroad for a few weeks now and I am satisfied. The saddle is shorter than a standard saddle but wider in surface area and in my opinion more comfortable for a longer sit/ride. I had to get used to it at first because of the shape as I have been riding an elongated saddle for a long time but I now notice, after a few rides, that the saddle cushions more finely when going offroad, supports comfortably and that I don't suffer from the saddle's recoil when riding 2-hour rides offroad. Also found out with this saddle that a good quality chamois also saves the world! In addition, the saddle is lightweight and easy to mount on your MTB. Also, the details on the saddle mirror a tough character. All in all, highly recommended if you ride long rides and obviously go offroad with your MTB. But I believe that is what this saddle was designed for!

Seat comfort for many miles
When I received this saddle I immediately noticed what a compact saddle this is! My previous saddle was 1.5 times as long. With this saddle, I don't have to worry about getting my trousers caught on it! The support from the varying thickness of the padding is ideal, haven't got any saddle pain so far. And the design of the saddle is very nice. I have already cycled small and long tours with it, from 20 to 80km. Koetelekoet tours to intense pr hunting rides. And the comfort of this saddle never ceases to amaze me. The sloping rear end prevents sliding backwards which is perfect for off-road trails! And it offers more comfort for a deep seating position Fitting this saddle was very easy and it also comes with a size strip for proper adjustment! So yes, I definitely recommend this product for!

great product
I was a bit sceptic because i normaly use a softgel sadle on my MTB. But i was suprised by how little pain i felt during my rides! Normaly after a 10k ride i felt pain from the sadle, but now i rode a 20k ride without pain. And even the days after that i had little to no pain. So yes i would recomend this sadle highly. Its easy to montage, its a lightweight and even tho its a hard sadle, its very ergonomic so no pain.

Good saddle for lots of off road
Been cycling with this saddle on my mtb for a while now, it offers a lot of cushioning at the off road stages and single tracks. I have to get very used to it myself because I first have to cycle quite a long stretch on trails before I get the real off road. Personally find a harder saddle more comfortable for that reason. I can well imagine if you ride a lot and often off road this is a perfect saddle! Fitting was easy, it also came with a handy size strip for adjusting the saddle correctly!

Good lightweight saddle
The Pro stealth offroad is a great saddle. It is lightweight and easy to install. The saddle had good grip so you dont slide off easily, Also because of the ascending back of the saddle wich is nice. The padding is ok, not to soft, not to hard. I would recommend this saddle for offroad mountainbiking but not for long recreational biking, because after an hour or so youre bottom starts to hurt, even with professional biking pants. Overall for offroad mtb/atb a very nice and lightweight saddle
