S-Works Power with Mirror

Dear Specialized Team, I’m reaching out regarding an issue I encountered while fine-tuning my fit. I recently had a professional bike fit done by a certified specialist due to discomfort and numbness in my sit bones during rides. I own two of your saddles: the Power (which came with the bike) and the Romin Mirror, both in the largest available size of 155mm. Following the bike fit, it was determined that I need a saddle with a width of 168mm to accommodate my anatomy and provide the comfort I require for long rides. Unfortunately, I discovered that Specialized does not produce carbon saddles in this size, which is incredibly frustrating. This issue is not unique to me—it’s a common challenge for many women cyclists. Anatomically, we often require wider saddles than men, and the lack of options in the premium carbon range feels like a significant oversight. Why is there no equivalent support for women in your high-performance lineup?

Excelente calidad, confortable, súper cómodo y estéticamente impecable, súper recomendado

I am someone who rides 7-8000 miles annually and do century rides just because. So I am picky about my saddle purchases. I have ridden Sella Anatomica saddle for five to seven years, and at 7-8000 thousand miles a year leather streteches and wears out. So I needed a saddle that would hold up to seasons of wear and tear and century after century ride. This saddle balances the comfort side of thing with the mesh and the performance side of things with placing you directly over your pedals. I don't cut corners on my saddle so when I went to purchase my seat I was a little surprised at the cost, well worth the money to purchase a saddle that offers comfort withe performance. I have a new favorite saddle that I love and can not wait to purchse the latest model when Mine wears out.

I’m always looking for the most advanced saddle. After reading all the great reviews, I decided to upgrade to this saddle from the Power Expert with Mirror on my Levo SL S-Works, but it’s not worth the money. In terms of comfort, there’s just no noticeable difference. The downside of the design is that mud collects in the holes of the 3D Mirror structure. I’m always willing to invest in my hobby, but this saddle just isn’t worth the price.

Realmente lo vale , por su calidad y comodidad !

I’ve had this for 18 months. The seat squeaks. Really annoying

Tem 2 anos que já o tenho. É simplesmente perfeito. Nem precisa investir pesado em bretelle etc. Você pedala 2-3-4 horas e não fica com assadura. Deveria ser isento de imposto pelos benefícios que possui.

Top!

I got this & only up used it on two 50 miles rides After having my sit bones measured I got the 155 size .It gets wide to quickly & it chafed the inside of my thigh .I haven't used it since.

utilizo ha 2 anos no MTB muito firmr ,leve e extremamente confortavel

Gostei muito do produto super indico.

I must admit, this saddle was comfortable from the first ride. It's quite grippy - though I think I prefer to move around easily on the saddle with conditions. Its short length was also fine for me. However, getting back on the bike this spring, with the saddle being 30 months old, and 2.2k miles it was noticeable that I was sitting marginally lower. I'm 80kg. It felt that the support under the sit-bones was diminished. This meant the edges of the perineal cutaway were starting to dig in - leading to all sorts of discomfort and numbness. Not good. So, in short: comfortable, but too short-lived and bad value for money.

Was keen to get the mirror tech on my bike. The short nose was the best fit for me. The other two longer saddle shapes didn't suite me. Love this saddle. Can ride for hours without sacrificing comfort nor weight.

j'ai acheté cette selle en espagne sur conseils d'un ami cycliste, après en avoir essayé de nombreuses car souffrant de douleurs qui sont situées sur les ishions en particulier celui de gauche , et après une dizaine de sorties je constate une grosse amélioration, pour parfaire l'expérience je pense qu'il va me falloir investir sur des cuissards avec inserts gel de bonne qualité.

..... I wish now coming up on three years that I had purchased the Power Pro with Mirror. The Pro has hollow Titanium rails and weighs 245 grams. The SW Power with mirror has carbon fiber rails and weighs 190 grams. The big caveat is that Specialized in the fine print for carbon fiber rails recommends that the saddle be replaced every three years for rider safety. The hollow Titanium has no such problem. Unless that extra 55 grams (2 ounces) is critical save yourself $150 and have a saddle good for more than three years. So I've knocked my rating down to two stars due to lack of durability.

Confort pour les longues sorties, bon calage du bassin pour le pédalage, la Mirror SWORKS est parfaite sur mon TARMAC SL7, 1 an après l'avoir adoptée sur mon VTT (Scalpel). En plus elle a baissé de 60 euros.

I purchased this saddle in May 2021. I loved it - it was the first saddle where I had no saddle sore issues (even though previous saddle was the same model but not with the Mirror technology). Recently, I noticed the saddle beginning to deteriorate, so I reached out to Specialized to see if I could warranty given that the saddle only had 15K miles and was well cared for. They declined, saying that their warranty was only for 2 years. A quick search of the internet confirmed that this is a known issue for these saddles. My takeaway was that specialized only expects these to last for a short time, even with the super premium price. So buy if you don't mind a saddle with an extremely short service life.

Non pensavo fosse così performante oltre che comoda, anche per chi è abituato a pedalare in punta di sella. Ottime sensazioni

Super

A brilliant saddle. I thought about this one for about a year. High price and concerns it may be gimmicky but definitely most comfortable saddle I’ve ever had and given it’s such a critical part of enjoying a ride and the life you’ll get out of one of these it’s a very fair price. Grips bibs really well which some like and some don’t. For me I am rapt I got it.

a perfect simphony with my body! "entero rico ziiii"

I’ve been experiencing minor saddle soreness so I got a bike fit and got told my correct size was 155. My current saddle was 155 so I decided to go for the SWORKS power mirror due to all the hype. Unfortunately this went from bad to worse, the soreness y unbearable from the moment I sit on the saddle the pain and discomfort. I double checked the bike fit as well as slightly modified the saddle height and location and still the soreness and chafing continues. I have gone to a Specialized retailer to double check the saddle width and 155 still remains the “correct” width. I am extremely disappointed as this was a very expensive saddle and it feels worse than the original power saddle the bike came with.

The saddle is comfortable for the long ride, and the saddle sore is gone.

Great seat!

3d printing is not a hype. It is better than any version of foam that I’ve tried. It is expensive, we don’t exactly know the durability but the comfort is noticible. So far, durability is good on my road bike. What’s not to like about an all carbon, 3d printed saddle and virtually 0 weight as a crown for your sweet ride.. If you have the cash, give it a go. They may make a TI rail version one day like they did for the Romeo one day, wait on that if the price is out of reach.

This is a really awsome saddle. Paired with my 2022 Roubaix Sport and I am so comfortable its crazy.

Very comfortable

I had high hopes this seat was some kind of wonderful for the outrageous cost. After 300 miles, I just do not find it’s really any more comfortable than any other nice normal seat. For sure it’s not worth any $450.

Best saddle ever! No regrets. Say goodbye to sore butts!

Best seat ever plain and simple

The best saddle! It's so much more comfortable than other Power saddles, I've tried them all. The combo of comfort and light weight cannot be beat.

Its like sitting in the Hand of God! Amazing comfort.

Comfortable saddle; I appreciate the mirror technology. Conforms to body. Make sure you measure your sit bones to get the proper width.

Realmente se acomoda bien y no genera dolor. Es muy cómodo.

O melhor selim que existe

Complete your top-of-the-line gear and components with this saddle

Specialized needs to post dimensions of these saddles. This thing is much longer than it looks in the photos. Had to return it.

Even though these are not inexpensive saddles, they add so much comfort that I bought a 2nd one for my indoor trainer! The difference between the 3D printed saddle (at least for me) and a regular saddle (I tried Specialized as well as different brands) is amazing! If I didn’t try this saddle I would never believe that it could deliver so much comfort - not only for my backside but my hands as well (cured my hands going numb)! Riding, I no longer think of my backside being sore, even on 100 km and longer rides. Amazing product!

Exceptionally Comfortable, but the shape falls somewhere between a longer nose road saddles that allow you to move and a No Nose Tri saddle. Currently trying to find sweet spot, but it’s a work in process some 500 miles later. OPEN shell construction: looks great, but after a muddy gravel ride, I’m still trying to clean ALL of nooks and crannies. Current Version is good, but not $450 great.

Very comfortable will save your a**

I can go on shorter rides without a chamois. It's like riding on a chunk off my lazy boy from home.

My brother bought this and and the other MTB Mirror tech saddles available. I tried them all and this was the winner. It is shorter so I don’t snag my shorts when sliding the seat between my legs. Overall it is the best seat I’ve ever tried. I suffer from sciatic nerve damage and I can’t tell you how good this saddle feels. I can get more miles from this saddle for sure. I thought Specialized was crazy for making a $450 saddle but it’s worth it especially if you suffer from an uncomfortable saddle. Give it a try and see if it works for you. Btw I use this on my Large 2021 Turbo Levo Comp and I’m 6’ 1” and weigh in at 170lbs. Thanks Soecialized!

Best saddle ever.

Para mi el mejor Sillin que he encontrado, si bien es cierto el precio es elevado vale totalmente la pena. Muy cómodo para jornadas largas.

Super Sattel, dieser hat alle meine Sitzprobleme gelöst. Top👍

Amazing saddle

Sillín cómodo . Sobretodo para realizar muchas horas.

. as i suffer apparently from a under rotaing hip i alway get a sore spot on one chee. not any more after buying this seat, brilliant thats all i can say. i have had it for 12 months and average 150 miles per week. with no problems. once i manged 208 miles in a day. all i got was a blister on my hand. one of my best buys. thinking of buying another for my 2nd bike

Comfortable from the first ride

J'ai cette selle depuis bientôt 1 an et je peux affirmer que c'est la meilleure pour le confort. De plus elle est excellente pour tous les types de sortie, balade ou vitesse.

Uso em uma bicicleta gravel. Com melhor apoio, mais conforto e rendimento. Com a troca do selim, conseguir ficar mais aerodinâmico na bike.

Great design and super comfortable for those long rides

Probably one of the most comfortable and important parts needed especially for long rides. Paired with your favorite bibs, your body will truly appreciate this anatomically self molding design. Highly recommend obtaining this saddle.

I’ve never before found a really comfortable saddle despite multiple attempts with different bike fitters. This is easily the best I have ever tried. I’ve only ridden around 8 hours on it and no long rides, so don’t weight my review too highly. And, anyway, saddle fit is totally individual. I was fortunate enough to have met someone who had one and very kindly let me try it out as a demo (no bike shop near me was willing to demo a saddle with carbon rails). Specialised really ought to have a demo option, (perhaps with steel rails?), ro sell saddles at this price point

Switched from the Romin Mirror to this saddle — really liked the Romin, but love this one. Even though a shorter saddle, I feel it has a longer “comfort range”. A-1.

The seat is soo nice You can ride on it with normel shorts and it does not hirt you at all and the best part is that it is very light

i recently bought a tarmac sl7 and learned that my beloved berk dilla saddle was not working out with the frameset. after a few hours of riding i was rolling my crotch away from the nose of the saddle and pouring my weight onto the front of the bike. my lower back and hands were incredibly sad. i set the power saddle up correctly and it essentially disappeared beneath me. this saddle really allows you to open up your hips and go lower and longer in the front without pain. when you fix the back end of the bike everything comes together. i highly recommend this saddle.

One on the top Saddle that I've been tried.. definitely it's a game changer. Amazing product. I switched from my previous s-work power. You won't regret

Une selle qui allie l'efficacité du calage d'une Sworks et le confort vraiment supérieur de la technologie miroir. J'ai mis cette selle sur mon VTT pour les courses Marathon, c'est vraiment top! Juste le prix un peu trop élevé.

Best seat I’ve ever used.

I've had really tight hips after riding. This saddle is one of the best I've had. Comfortable & my hip flexors aren't that tight. Yea !

As written in the title, the saddle is very comfortable if you like a short and relatively wide saddle. If not, i made the experience that it chafes over time, because it becomes too quickly wide.

Most comfortable saddle I’ve ever used.

light weight and surprisingly comfortable.

Hallo Ich habe den Sattel schon 1 Jahr im Gebrauch absolut Top. Ich war letztes Jahr 24 Stunden mit dem Sattel unterwegs und ich hätte am nächsten Tag wieder ganz normal auf den Renner steigen können, ich hatte keine Druckstellen nichts. Ich fahre ca. 8000 Km im Jahr. Ich hatte früher immer Probleme jetzt sind diese Weg. Super Top.

Been riding with this new seat for 3+ months and several 60 - 100 mile rides. Upgraded from the standard saddle that comes with the Roubaix Comp. Installed and realized you also need the "oval" mounting hardware to attach the seat to the post ($30 ish +). This hardware should absolutely come with the seat when purchased new. The standard "circle" mounts worked temporarily while I awaited the delivery of the oval mounting hardware - the seat just does not sit perfectly level. Regardless of this pain point - the seat was instantly comfortable and has performed well on several 60+ mile rides. I do not find myself even thinking about my back side until 60-70 miles into a ride. I do not have a ton of experience with other saddles but am glad I didn't go 1/2 way on this purchase.

The best saddle so far

Comfortable and has some grip to it.

I’ve spent a lot of time on a saddle. Some saddles are uncomfortable when you first sit on them. Others after an hour or more on the saddle. With a Specialized mirror saddle you really don’t notice it’s there. It becomes an integral part of the bike. It’s going to be tough for technology to beat this saddle…

This seat is extremely comfortable…best seat yet…

I would recommend this product but not for the price. It’s over priced in my opinion.

Very happy with the new saddle beiung both light and comfortable.

Una revolución en la manera de diseñar y confeccionar un sillín. Cómodo, se adapta muy bien y absorbe las vibraciones de la ruta.

Seems very comfortable and just need to figure out tilt, if any.

Comprei o selim há 6 meses atrás e foi a melhor compra que fiz desde então, selim perfeito no fit e extremamente confortavel e leve, vale cada centavo.

Super comfortable for long rides, definitely recommend!

I don't know if it's a combination of getting older and/or no longer a skeleton thin racerboy, but there are two situations where my sitbones start to just hurt on a bike: * Rides/races longer than 6 hours. Pretty much any gravel event (Unbound, etc). My sitbones just start to hurt and I have to shift position a bit. * Trainer workouts longer than 90 minutes. Even with a rocker (which definitely helps), my sitbones get sore. I'm about to clock 100k miles in Strava, been riding since I was a boy, and can honestly say this is the best saddle I have ever ridden. When you sit on it for the first time, you notice (at least I did) that foam saddles make you aware of your sitbones (not sore right away, of course). This does not. At the end of a long day on the bike, my derriere feels as fresh as it did when I started. It is absolutely mind blowing. Same thing on the trainer. I will never ride a foam saddle again. Period. Shut up and take my money (I need two more now).

Very comfortable - tried wider version that was too wide. Too expensive.

I did not realize that the seat had carbon fiber mounting shafts that are oval and require a different oval mount seat post. Nonetheless, Specialized was great about allowing me to return it. They even paid the return shipping.

Absolutely great saddle. Not certain that price is justified and is the only negative about the saddle. No hot spots whatsoever. Not only is the saddle comfortable but it also almost completely eliminates road vibration when riding on chip-seal tarmac. Great saddle if you can afford it .

Great. Had issues with about 5 other types of saddles recently. This has been fine for 6 hour rides.

Couldn’t be happier. Almost zero pressure points.

This is by far the most comfortable saddle I have ever ridden. Normally on long rides you are "aware" of your sit bones and a bit of discomfort the farther you ride. Not so with this saddle. I have always prefered a minimalist carbon saddle, but this saddle is so comfortable I never even think about my sit bones hurting or the need to get out of the saddle to relieve pressure. It also looks nice and isn't overly heavy. I have this saddle on both my road bikes and will never ride anything else.

I have to say it is by far the most comfortable saddle I've ever ridden and I will have one on any bike I ride from here on. It is soft and firm where it needs to be. It disappears beneath me and I forget about the saddle completely. Is it worth 450 bucks, well maybe? I think that's a ridiculous price, but for comfort is it really? honestly, I think more in the 350-400 range is fairer, but I still paid the 450 and prob would again. Don't forget a good pair of bibs with a good chamois and get your bike fitted properly. If you ride with $40 shorts your probably 1 not spending 450 on a saddle and 2 not too concerned with comfort. Will this saddle work for everyone? I doubt it as everyone is different. The key is to find a saddle that you ride and never think about because it's that comfortable. If the price was anything below 400 I'd give it 5 stars, but I have to rate it 5 stars on comfort but knock 1 star off for price.

I had Ergon Saddles on my E-bikes and they worked fine. In steep climbs where I needed to put more weight on the front of the wheel, the longer saddle was very uncomfortable. I was in my LBS and looking at the Specialized Power Pro Elaston with MIMIC which I believe is a women's saddle, so I bought it and it was very good, but not excellent. I saw S-Works Power with Mirror but the price scared me away. Lars the owner said he had people purchase one and they were back the next week to purchase the saddle. for all their bikes. So I bought one in my size a week later and installed it on my S-Works Levo. Steep Climbs or long rides it feels like I am sitting on my sofa.I have since bought a second one. I have been riding bikes for 50 years and in my experience it is incredible. I wonder if Specilized will ever have a BOGO sale, probally not.

J'ai vu cette selle chez mon vélociste, un produit exceptionnel. Je roule en Phenom S-works rouge qui malheureusement n'existe plus .Seul regret que ce produit n'existe pas en rouge sinon je me laisserais tenté

Let’s be honest, this is an obscenely expensive piece of kit, and I really didn’t want to like it. My husband made fun of me for ordering it for my xc bike (Epic Evo), and then he REALLY made fun of me for ordering a second one for my other xc bike (S-Works Epic HT). Then he sat on it, and now I have to keep a close eye on him and the allen keys so he doesn’t steal it. It really is that comfortable. It just kind of…disappears underneath you. You don’t notice it’s there. No pressure points, no hot spots, and no burning crush of my lady parts while trying to keeping the front wheel down on the steep climbs.

Have had issues with various saddles for over 30 years ("sleeping" private parts etc.). This cost a leg and an arm - especially since I always have the same saddle on all my bikes - but it really is more comfortable to use than other saddles. My first "short" nosed saddle, but works fine for me. Not sure everyone needs it. Saddles are very individual and some get along with much cheaper options. But if you have issues and find it difficult to find a good match its worth trying this out. Normally it takes a few weeks to break a new saddle in and it can be a little painful at first riding it day after day. Not so with this saddle. Did ten days straight and could hardly feel anything from one day to the next. Amazing! Makes my rides more fun and trips longer.

I have four of these seats including on a Peloton. 6115 road miles in 2021 and love it, obviously. 155mm fit me fine and would recommend it highly.

Very comfortable EXCEPT the 155 width caused thigh rub. I sent it back and may buy the 143 to see if it works. Sit bones were very well supported and cushioned. if only no rub it would have been perfect

Rode this for 8 hours at SBT Grvl and never thought about the saddle once… best saddle I’ve ever ridden! Make sure you get measured and fit before you buy any saddle

I bought this saddle having tried quite a few different ones. This is the ultimate in comfort, especially for long rides. They are quite pricey, but worth every cent.

Ovviamente il prezzo purtroppo troppo alto
