The Power platform earned its following on shape, and the Power Comp keeps that shape while swapping in hollow chromoly rails to land at a lower price point. 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 without the carbon-rail price tag, 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, short enough that rolling your pelvis forward into an aggressive position doesn't push you onto the nose the way a 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, 155mm, and 168mm widths, and if you haven't been measured, a Retül fit or a 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
