So good

As I expected from previous experience with Specialized saddles, really very good. It works how it’s supposed to, with the geometry working well for me whilst riding.

Haut de gamme

J'ai opté pour cette selle pour mon vélo principal en 155mm ( bassin large). Cette selle très confortable présente un très bon calage. Plus courte que la moyenne, elle ne fait que 24 cm de long. J'enchaine les heures de selle ( parfois 6 heures) avec celle-ci, sereinement, sans appréhension. Depuis 2 ans que je l'ai, elle ne s'affaisse pas, par rapport à d'autres selles évidées ( leurs points faibles) ...

The seat is more comfortable

The seat is more comfortable than the phenom despite the fact that the level of padding is supposedly lower in the power model, being more compact it is easier to be in position, as well as the hole it has avoids cutting off blood circulation more efficiently. for the price it's pretty good

Game changer for me

I’ve always stuck with the saddle my bike came with and thought that being in pain during longer rides and after rides was part of the process however following a seat bone assessment I found out I’d been riding saddles that were too narrow for me and purchased this, backed by a 30 day guarantee. One ride in and this saddle is not going back to the store! The first pain free ride I’ve ever gone on and now intend to put it on all my bikes! Comfortable enough for longer endurance rides or for being down in the drops and going for it. Totally changed the game for me!

El mejor asiento de Specialized

Bonito, es un asiento corto, ligero pero sobre todo muy comodo. En el pasado he usado otros como Phenom o Power Arc y el Power Expert es el que màs me ha gustado. La diferencia entre el Power Normal y Power Arc es justo unos bordes un poco mas redondos, ambos son excelentes asientos pero me acomoda todavia mejor el Power tradicional.

Relief for my sore bum!

I've been using this saddle for about 16 months and couldn't be happier with the comfort and shape. I really appreciate the cutout and shorter nose on this saddle which keeps me from snagging my shorts or bumping my sensitive area when the going gets chunky on my mountain bike. I was previously using the manufacturer-branded saddle on my Kona hardtail and it was agony. I went to my local bike shop which measured me and recommended the 155mm Power Saddle. The difference was night and day. I swapped it over to my new Canyon and used it happily for another year. I picked up a Stumpjumper expert this year which better suits the trails I ride and immediately swapped the 143mm Bridge Comp it came with for this one. Just did 22 miles of long climbs and chunky descents today and no discomfort whatsoever.

Can't explain it, but it worked wonders.

Been riding Specialized Toupe saddles for a decade. Last month on a 50 mile ride, my butt was in pain before mile 20. That night I switched to the Power saddle, and the next day rode 30 more miles with total comfort - kept waiting for the butt pain that never came. Rode another 250 miles on the Power saddle in the last few weeks - total comfort. Can't explain how it works, but can attest that it did for me.

Love It!

I am fairly new to cycling. I've tried several different saddles looking for the right fit, and this is it for me. I ride a flat-bat hybrid, so not riding an an overly aggressive position, but I find the Power Expert to be exceptionally comfortable. Most importantly, no more numbing anywhere! My sit bones measurement is 138 and I opted for the 168 and have had no issues with the width thus far. Highly recommend.

Found the perfect match (for my rear)

When you're having an issue with your saddle finding a replacement can be like searching for the holy grail. You can end up sending saddles back on a weekly basis and relying on the goodwill of the shop. I gave up and chose the wiser route of a saddle fit with a shop with a good reputation for saddle fits. It was all about the sit bones and the saddle that matched my rear was the Specialized Power Expert, 155mm width. More importantly, the saddle has a decent cut out thus reducing pressure on your vital regions which will benefit you long term.

This saddle is like riding a cloud

Tried numerous channeled/solid standard long nose saddles over the years. All gave me pain/saddle sores in time. The moment I tried this saddle I knew it was literally perfect and haven't looked back since. The snub nose with its slight downward tilt just at the tip is comfortable enough to brace your pelvis against during efforts w/o being as absurd as something like a selle smp (no hate just not my cup of tea). Combined with a proper fit, I've been able to alleviate a lot of pain/pressure from my sit bones/pelvis/lumbar spine. Also, I've never left a review online for anything in my life but products rarely blow me away like this. Seriously I just thought it would be ""another saddle."" Obviously no saddle is perfect for everyone but if you are in the market, and more traditional saddles have seemingly failed you, I would absolutely give this a try.

I thought I was on the perfect saddle. I was wrong.

I've been riding the same saddle brand/model for 9 years now (been riding a bike for 30+ years). I thought it was perfect. I had convinced myself that long rides or back to back days in the saddle were uncomfortable simply due to my getting older. Having set my sights on a week long bike packing trip, I thought I'd confirm my saddle choice and just give something else a try. The Power Saddle is a game changer. zero discomfort on long rides and back to back days are not a problem. I wish I had made the change years ago.

If I could hug the Specialized folks, I would! I had been suffering for 2 years and really didn't even know how much. I did know that my legs did not give out, it was discomfort on the saddle that stopped my rides. I had a professional bike fit & sit bones measured to needing 164mm wide saddle. I chose the Power Expert 168mm because of all the great reviews online & it came wide. I truly can't describe the wonderful difference!! I never understood when people would say that their saddle ""disappeared"" underneath them. I understand that perfect now! It truly is a game changer!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!

My nether regions thank you, Specialized!

After years of happily riding leather saddles, I never thought I'd go for this type of design. But after experiencing alarming numbbness in the nether regions on a 75 mile hilly (long) ride, I did some research, got fitted by a specialized rep with their digital saddle fit setup (I think it's called retuul?). He found my sitbone distance and he highly recommended this type of saddle. My junk is so much happier. I no longer feel like cycling might compromise my, um, reproductive health. The saddle disappears under me and the pressure on my 'areas' is greatly relieved. I feel the weight more on my sitbones, but I'd rather have a mildly sore rump than numb nuts. Saddles are very personal, but this is a winning design for me. The shorter nose really helps, the cutout is comfy, and it took very little adjustment to find the perfect placement. Looks good, sturdy, and well-built, too!
