The Power Comp keeps the short-nose shape that made the Power platform popular and swaps in hollow chromoly rails to bring the price down without changing the fit. A stiff, carbon-reinforced shell sits under Specialized's medium-grade Level 2 PU padding, and the extra wide, elongated Body Geometry channel handles sit bone support and pressure relief through the middle of the saddle. If you've been fit to a Power S-Works or Power Expert and want the same shape at a lower price, this is where the chromoly rails earn their keep.

Patented Body Geometry design is lab-tested for both men and women to assure blood flow to sensitive arteries , and the full-length cutout channel keeps that relief consistent whether you're sitting upright on the tops or rolled forward in the drops. The saddle measures 240mm long , which is short enough that rolling your pelvis forward into an aggressive position doesn't push you onto the nose the way a traditional 275mm saddle would. The truncated tail also stays out of the way when you're moving around on the bike.

Rail size is a standard 7 x 7mm , so the saddle drops into any conventional two-bolt or single-bolt seatpost clamp. Sizing works off sit bone measurement rather than rider height or gender — Specialized offers the Power Comp in 143mm and 155mm widths, and if you haven't been measured, a Retül fit or a piece of corrugated cardboard sit-bone test at Excel will point you to the right one. Going too narrow puts your sit bones on the padding edge; going too wide pushes the wings into your thighs when you're pedaling hard.... Read More
