PRO unveils the Stealth 3D saddle: comfort at the peak of performance

Combining performance and comfort is no longer a compromise. With the PRO Stealth 3D, the brand takes a new step forward by integrating 3D printing technology into a proven aerodynamic design. The result: a saddle designed for the most demanding cyclists, capable of optimizing position, efficiency, and riding pleasure, even on the most intense rides.

Comfort that boosts performance

On a bicycle, comfort is a direct driver of performance. A stable and suitable position allows you to pedal longer, more efficiently, and with less fatigue. The saddle plays a central role here: it must adapt to the cyclist's body shape as well as their riding style.tage.

The PRO Stealth 3D was designed to precisely meet these requirements. Thanks to a 3D-printed mesh structure, it incorporates three distinct density zones, while maintaining the aggressive and aerodynamic position for which the Stealth range is renowned.

A design based on real data

Developed using pressure maps from postural studies and feedback from cyclists testIn terms of performance, the Stealth 3D displays an intelligent distribution of densities:

High-density front zone : maximum support of the ischial tuberosities when the cyclist adopts an attacking position.

Central zone with intermediate density : better weight distribution in a more upright position, limiting pressure points.

Low-density rear zone : overall weight reduction of the saddle and optimization of aesthetics, without impact on pedaling.

This architecture allows us to achieve the highest level of comfort ever offered by PRO, without compromising performance.

3D technology and hexagonal cells

Beyond the high-density areas, the Stealth 3D stands out due to its hexagonal cell structure, particularly visible in low-density areas. This innovative design absorbs vibrations from the routeindividually and collectively, thus reducing fatigue over long distances or routes degraded.

3D printing also allows for density adjustments impossible to achieve with traditional EVA or PU foams, while highlighting the precision and modernity of the design.

Designed for demanding cyclists

« The PRO Stealth 3D saddle is the result of extensive research and development focused on rider comfort. " explains Anton Peeters, head of PRO saddle design. 3D printing allows us to precisely adjust the density according to the areas, offering more comfort both in aerodynamic and more upright positions, while optimizing the overall weight. »

Feedback from the field confirmed that some cyclists were willing to accept a few extra grams for a significant gain in comfort, especially on cobblestones or... routein poor condition. The Stealth 3D perfectly meets this expectation.

Two versions, one same performance DNA

The PRO Stealth 3D is available in Team and Performance versions, with:

  • Carbon rails for the Team version.
  • Stainless steel rails (INOX) for the Performance version.
  • Widths to choose from: 142 mm or 152 mm.
