Product news: With the Stealth Curved models, PRO now has a special solution for all riders who move sideways in the saddle. A rounded profile in the rear area, enlarged sides and a special lateral profile are intended to ensure that even more agile cyclists can adopt a safe seating position and neither slide forwards nor backwards on the saddle.
Shimano's own brand PRO expands the Stealth saddle series with a special model for riders who move sideways in the saddle. Equipped with a new shape, even more agile cyclists should have a secure sitting position and not slide back and forth when riding. Mark Kikkert, Team Manager of the PRO Product Development Team, on the background: "In the pressure measurements that we took with bikefitting.com, we saw many professional and amateur racers who tend to be more active on the Move the saddle from left to right as you pedal. While this is a relatively normal movement for some, for others it can represent a loss of efficiency. Our Griffon saddle was designed to counteract exactly that, but we wanted to offer that stability in a saddle that allows for a more aerodynamic riding position. That's why we developed the Stealth Curved.”
The new PRO Stealth Curved saddle is available in the variants Team and Performance. The top model PRO Stealth Curved Team features a carbon fiber reinforced polymer shell and carbon frame. With a weight of only 161 grams and a width of 142 mm, the saddle should convince even lightweight fans. The performance version, which is 42 grams heavier, also comes with a carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer shell. The reason for the extra weight is the frame, which is made of stainless steel in this model. The nose of both curved versions is slightly narrower than that of the original stealth models. The wide open anatomical recess with the carbon fiber reinforced triple bridge structure is designed to reduce pressure in the perineal area. Both saddles are available in widths of 142 and 152 mm. The price for the Performance is 129,95 euros, the top model Team is available for 189,95 euros.
