The PRO Falcon Performance 142 mm PRSA0327 saddle is designed for cyclists seeking a balance between performance, stability and comfort, particularly on sporty rides and long distances. Its relatively flat profile is particularly suited to flexible cyclists who maintain a stable position on the saddle.
Featuring a carbon-reinforced shell, stainless steel rails and lightweight EVA foam padding, the Falcon Performance combines stiffness, lightness and comfort. Its central anatomical cut-out helps to reduce pressure on sensitive areas whilst cycling.
With a width of 142 mm, this model is a particularly attractive option for cyclists whose body shape and sit-width match this size. The PRO Falcon Performance is available in two widths, 132 and 142 mm, to allow for a more precise fit to the cyclist’s body type.
The Falcon Performance features a flat profile that promotes a stable riding position whilst allowing the cyclist a certain degree of freedom of movement. PRO has designed it specifically for flexible cyclists capable of maintaining a sporty and stable position on the saddle.
This design is particularly well-suited to a road bike, where the riding position can shift between different sections of the handlebars. It may also be suitable for mountain biking when the rider is looking for a relatively firm and stable seat during pedalling phases.
The carbon-reinforced shell provides the rigidity needed to keep the saddle in place, whilst the lightweight EVA padding adds a layer of comfort without making the saddle excessively soft.
One of the key features of the Falcon Performance is its openwork, anatomically shaped central channel. This is designed to alleviate pressure on the perineum and improve comfort when maintaining the same position for long periods.
This feature can be particularly appreciated on endurance rides or during prolonged training sessions. However, it is no substitute for correctly adjusting the saddle’s height, rear-to-front position and tilt.
Product code PRSA0327 corresponds to the 142 mm version of the Falcon Performance. PRO also offers a 132 mm version, product code PRSA0326.
The choice between 132 and 142 mm should not be based solely on the type of bike. It depends mainly on the width of your sit bones, your body type and the position you adopt on the bike.
A saddle that is too narrow can lead to poor weight distribution, whilst one that is too wide can hinder pedalling movements and cause chafing. For this reason, the 142 mm width should be regarded as a body-type-based choice rather than a specification reserved for mountain bikes or road bikes.
The Falcon Performance features stainless steel rails and a durable polyurethane (PU) outer coating. The combination of these materials is designed to offer a good balance between strength, weight and durability.
The saddle is also compatible with PRO saddle accessories, allowing it to be integrated into the brand’s ecosystem of accessories.
It is particularly suitable for:
It will be less suitable for cyclists who are primarily looking for a very soft saddle or who shift position a lot whilst seated.
Before judging the comfort of a saddle, take the time to adjust the height, rearward position and angle correctly. A saddle perfectly suited to your body shape can become uncomfortable if it is positioned incorrectly.
The width of 142 mm should also be chosen based on your body shape, rather than simply because it is a saddle designed for mountain biking or road cycling.
