Racers, time triallists and fast group riders who spend long periods in a low, forward position and want the lightest saddle in the Stealth range.
The Stealth Superlight is the top of PRO's Stealth range and the lightest saddle PRO makes. This is the second generation, released in 2024: the handmade carbon base and rails are still one piece, but a revised lay-up and pressure-mapped padding take the 142 mm version down to 130 grams, 15 g lighter than before.
The shape is what sells it. Stealth saddles are short with a wide nose, so when you roll your hips forward into an aero tuck you're supported by the front of the saddle rather than perched on a narrow point. The large anatomic cut-out relieves pressure in exactly that position, which is why the Stealth line has been a favourite of racers and time triallists since it was developed with a WorldTour team, Shimano's Dynamics Lab and.
Expect a firm, direct platform with a thin layer of EVA and a slick PU cover. It rewards riders who hold a committed position. Choose 142 mm or 152 mm based on your sit-bone width, and check your seatpost clamp suits carbon rails before fitting.
130 g
The lightest saddle in PRO's range, measured on the 142 mm width.
Built for the aero tuck
A short, wide nose supports you when your hips roll forward on the drops or extensions.
Pressure-relief channel
A large anatomic cut-out keeps pressure off soft tissue in aggressive positions.
One-piece carbon
Handmade carbon base with integrated rails, so there's no rail-to-shell joint to add weight.
Two widths
142 mm and 152 mm to suit narrower or wider sit bones.
Accessory ready
Works with PRO's clip-on saddle accessories, from a race number holder to a CO2 bracket.

General
Stealth short-nose shape
The Stealth family was developed with pro riders and bike fitters for aggressive road and time-trial positions. The short, wide nose spreads pressure so you can sit further forward on the drops or aero bars and stay comfortable for longer.
Anatomic fit cut-out
A large central channel takes pressure off soft tissue when you rotate your pelvis forward into a low, aero position. Carbon bridges across the channel keep the shell stiff.
One-piece carbon base and rails
The base and rails are laid up by hand as a single carbon structure, with no separate rail-to-shell joint. The second generation uses an updated lay-up and refined padding mapped with PRO's sister brand bikefitting, 15 g lighter than the first version.
Low-friction PU cover
A smooth cover that lets your shorts slide without snagging and stops the padding soaking up water.
Integrated accessory mount
Every PRO saddle has a mounting point at the rear for PRO's saddle accessories, such as a race number holder, CO2 bracket or camera mount.
Great for
Maybe not for
Pick your width from your sit-bone measurement: most riders with narrower sit bones suit 142 mm, wider sit bones 152 mm. Because the nose is short, you may need to set the saddle slightly further forward than a traditional saddle; we're happy to measure your sit bones in store.
vs PRO Stealth Team
Same shape and cut-out but with a carbon-reinforced base, so it's heavier. The Superlight is the pick when you want the lightest version.
Check your seatpost clamp
Carbon rails need a clamp that suits them. Tighten to the torque on your seatpost, never grease the clamping area, and keep the clamp inside the MAX marks printed on the rail.
Expect a firm feel
The padding is deliberately thin to save weight. If you're coming from a softer saddle, give it a few rides to settle in before judging comfort.
