First impressions 👍🏾👍🏾
- rode with allen key.. tipped it nose down slightly mid ride.. slightly nose down feels neutral, prefect (not slipping of back or front)... perfectly horizontal felt like was going to slide off back.. doesn't rise much at back so I when flat not enough to push against when push to back of saddle..
- material super slippery.. no friction
- even though the saddle is short (front to back), it has more usable positions fore-aft to sit on than any other saddle I've used since the whole length is the width of seat bone.. not sure now why all saddles are not like this..??
- enough saddle either side of gap to sit on.. have had another split saddle where felt like it was poking into my seat bones too sharply or sitting between my seat bones defeating the whole purpose of split saddle..
...so good, so far.. need to get out on a longer ride to see the real deal!
Stealth saddle felt great as soon as I got on the bike. Large cutout eliminates any pressure, and I don’t feel the sides of the cutout like other saddles. Sit bone area gets a little sore because more weight on them versus riding on the groin area. Will get used to the soreness with more time.
Great saddle designed by detailed biometric analysis and very effective at relieving perineal pressure. I was used to Fizik Arione’s which I rode for many years. I have a number of Brooks ( b-17 and B-67) which I love and even a beautiful Ideale 99.
This saddle is unique and ideally suited for hammering in the drops. Since the perineal pressure point is relieved it’s a lot easier to rotate the pelvis forward without undue discomfort and numbness.
It has good width for sit bone support. It is short especially compared to the Arione. This means you lock in and go. Not much moving for and aft. It is rather firm and this may take some getting used to.
