Saddles

The Gravelier represents the pinnacle of pedaling comfort and performance for gravel riders who put in big miles at an expeditious pace. Gravel riders tend to pedal in a forward-leaning position for long periods of time; the Gravelier accommodates this with a side profile that curves from tip-to-tail and cradles the pelvis to provide “locked-in” support. The perineal relief cutout improves blood ?ow and reduces numbness in sensitive areas when the hips are rotated forward in an aggressive, forward-leaning pedaling position. The Gravelier’s short 246mm length is paired with a mid-length section that quickly widens out to provide ample room if riders choose to shift beyond the primary support zone. Built for Speed. Built for Distance. Built for Gravel. - Center cutout reduces perineal pressure, improve blood ?ows and reduce numbness when the hips are rotated forward in an aggressive pedaling position - Stiff, yet responsive, fiber-infused Fusion Form base optimizes power transfer under hard efforts while also absorbing vibrations transferred through the bike - New Fusion Form base allows model-specific amounts of fiber to be infused into the nylon to create a ?ex profile that balances comfort and support - Pressure mapping technology was used to create a foundational shape based on anatomical science, which was then refined to create the perfect shape for gravel cycling - Extra width and padding in the nose to provide additional support when a rider scoots forward for maximum power - Extended rail clamping length provides a wide range of fore/aft saddle positions - Integrated under-saddle mount for tools and storage, compatible with existing brands of saddle accessories - Titanium saddle rails

The Specialized Power Arc Expert saddle expands on the success of the original Power saddle. It features the same channel, length, and hollow titanium rails as the original and Pro Arc, but where it differs is in its shell and padding. But this means that it still features a stiff composite shell and supple, Level 2 PU padding. The shape of the saddle is also designed to provide ample sit bone support, and this has been coupled with a shorter-than-usual nose section to keep pressure off of soft tissue while riding in aggressive positions. Specialized even took this ideology a step further via an extra wide and elongated Body Geometry channel that's been proven through blood flow testing and pressure mapping to reduce numbness and pressure on unwanted areas. And while this all seems familiar if you're already a Power loyalist, this iteration features a curved Body Geometry shape that better contours to your body. What does this mean for your ride? It means that you'll feel as if you're “in the saddle," not on it. And ultimately, this equates to greater comfort and superior performance in all seated positions, whether you're a man or woman. - Patented Body Geometry design is lab tested for both men and women to assure blood flow to sensitive arteries. - Lightweight and supportive PU padding for comfort and support on longer rides. - Lightweight, durable, and hollow titanium rails. - Level 2 padding: Medium density foam for bike feel with additional cushioning. - SWAT-compatible mounts molded into the saddle base allow for sleek and integrated storage solutions. - Size 143mm / Weight: 233g - Size 155mm / Weight: 235g - Size 168mm / Weight: 238g

The Perfect Reflection of You. The Power Expert with Mirror saddle combines comfort and performance for riders whether they are podium-seeking crushers or everyday cruisers. The Body Geometry designed Power shape with high-tech Mirror inserts provide sit bone-friendly support road to mountain uses. ATTAINABLE TECH: The Power Expert with Mirror saddle provides riders with a significant reduction in pain-causing pressure when compared to it's foam counterpart, the Power Comp Saddle. Inside the saddle are two tear drop shaped Mirror Technology inserts that target sit bone pressure. Riders around the world will be stoked that the new Expert level Power Saddle with Mirror technology make these benefits more attainable than ever. POWER SHAPE: Our beloved Power shape, with a cutout. The patented Body Geometry design is lab-tested to ensure blood flow to sensitive arteries. Is it a road saddle? Mountain saddle? In short, yes. We hate to say a product works "for everything", but it does. We believe that performance-in saddle speak-means comfort. And whatever shape and material suits you, will be your highest performing saddle. MIRROR TECHNOLOGY: We developed Mirror technology by 3D printing from a liquid polymer to be a perfect reflection of you. Mirror technology allows for infinite density tuning with a single material, but any material is only as good as the designers and engineers that use it. Thanks to our Body Geometry methodology, Retul data, and decades of experience, the 3D-printed matrix is tuned to support the sit bones across a greater area, creating a hammock effect that lets the saddle support your weight, not the tissue around your sit bones. ANY BODY, EVERY RIDE: We know that every body is different, but the issues facing riders in the saddle are the same—sit bone pressure, scar tissue build-up, and blood flow loss. Using pressure mapping, blind comfort studies, and blood flow studies, Body Geometry and Mirror Saddles don't just promise to solve these issues for people-we've proven they do. Plus, this is the first saddle with Mirror technology in additional sizes (130 and 168). ALL AROUND USE: The Power Expert With Mirror saddle uses the same 3D printed technology as the S-Works Power with Mirror except the Expert has 4-way stretch cover to keep mud and debris out of the nooks and crannies of the Mirror lattice. That dirt-shedding feature, plus super durable, yet light weight hollow titanium rails make the Power Expert with Mirror the smart choice for gravel and mountain riders, in addition to those who stick to paved surfaces.
