I worked in a bike shop that carried Specialized and never heard such a concise explanation of their saddle lineup. Respect! 👊🏼

Never knew Will Forte was a biker. Good to see he got a job after SNL. Good for him :)

Love my power saddles, got a comp on the gravel and an expert on the mountain bike. Nice and short, but super comfy and supportive for me.

Great information. Even the sales staff at Specialized retailers do not know how to explain this as well as you do.

I ride the sworks mirror power and it is sublime. Completely disappears under me on long rides. I’ve had some hot spot pain on my sit bones on 4+ hour rides and now that has been completely resolved. The saddle is expensive and worth every penny.

Thank you for this great explanation! I ride a power mimic, but think I’d be more comfy on a romin mimic. Time to go shopping 😎

Which area of the power saddle need to be horizontal to the ground? Mid to tip of the nose, wing to tip of the nose or back end to tip of the nose? Thanks in advance 😊

No Mimic, no Bridge model discussed? I'm 6'3" 230 pounds and road ride 100 miles a week. Sit bones at 120mm. 50% is HIIT workouts. Last week, I spent 2 hours for fitting at LBS and we looked at all the Specialized saddles you listed - and many more. The best of me was the Bridge Comp with Mimic (155mm). I would have spent any amount and this saddle was only $104. Changed my life. I wish you had included Bridge and Mimic in your review.

Can you measure the dimensions of the cutout in the saddle for the 155 mm version? Specialized power comp

That's a nice video thank you
What about the RİVO SPORT model, I need more comfort, I got a Specialized Sirrus x 5.0, I ride as a gravel, and the seat bone measures 11 cm
appreciate any help you can provide.

Which version will be most comfortable in -10C ? I have Fabric Scoop shallow Race, which is very harsh in sub zero temps. But I heard good things about cold weather riding in Specialized saddles even the Comp.

[JayBD]

Is the Romin in the video the gel version? What’s the difference in it vs the Evo Romin?

[ShadowzKiller]

What about saddle tilt for these saddle types?

[John-opvi]

The only thing that hurts more than a crash is a $450 saddle with bent or cracked rails after a crash.

[charisma-hornum-fries]

I would love a saddle without the hole for winter and biking. It's simply too cold.

[charlesbradford]

Let's face it GCN never a clue. little kids who think they are big boys.

Specialized definitely mastered sales and marketing with respect to Bullshitting people into these prices. Give me a break!
