Specialized Power Saddle

I've tried pretty much every Specialized saddle, and I really like the Power saddle. It's hard to go with one of the other saddles after trying this one.
The only problem is that on my downstroke the edges of the saddle wings dig into the back of my thigh sometimes, sometimes not. Need to figure that out.

Went on a 22 mile ride today on the Power saddle. I'd recommend it to everyone.
Previously I was testing it without bike shorts, & the edges of the saddle irritated me, but with bike shorts that was no longer a problem.

If I had a bike store & was only allowed to sell 1 saddle this would be it. As long as you get the correct width there's almost nothing to go wrong.
They've pretty much solved the most common problem which seems to be perineum pressure. In that regard it's great when riding on the hoods & even
better in the drops.

Also with the stub nose there's absolutely nothing to hit your thighs, & it feels like you can pedal so much faster because your legs are so free.
So they've pretty much eliminated perineum pressure & eliminated chafing from the nose, so like I said there's not much to go wrong unless the edges of the wings bother the back of your thighs. Best saddle I've tried & I can't imagine any saddle being much better until competitors copy it & maybe make a small tweak here & there.

Good to hear! I certainly like mine as well, have had it for over a year, and no complaints whatsoever
