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 reaches a new milestone 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 bike, comfort is a direct lever for performance. A stable and adapted 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 morphology as well as their riding style.

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

A design based on real-world data

Developed from pressure mapping data from postural studies and feedback from test cyclists, the Stealth 3D features an intelligent distribution of densities:

High-density front zone: maximum sit bone support when the cyclist adopts an aggressive position.

Intermediate-density central zone: better weight distribution in a more upright position, limiting pressure points.

Low-density rear zone: overall saddle weight reduction and aesthetic optimization, without impacting pedaling.

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

3D Technology and Hexagonal Cells

Beyond the density zones, the Stealth 3D stands out with its hexagonal cell structure, particularly visible in the low-density areas. This innovative design absorbs road vibrations, individually and collectively, thereby reducing fatigue over long distances or on degraded roads.

3D printing also allows for density adjustment 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 work focused on cyclist comfort », explains Anton Peeters, PRO Saddle Design Manager. « 3D printing allows us to precisely adjust the density according to the zones, offering more comfort in both aerodynamic and more upright positions, while optimizing overall weight. »

Field feedback confirmed that some cyclists were willing to accept a few extra grams for a significant gain in comfort, particularly on cobblestones or poor road surfaces. The Stealth 3D perfectly meets this expectation.

Two versions, the same performance DNA

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