Stable support for performance-focused riding positions.
The Specialized Power Comp is a short-nose saddle designed to support the rider in a centred, forward position. Its broad rear section supports the sit bones, while the wide Body Geometry channel helps reduce pressure on sensitive soft tissue.
Level 2 padding provides medium-density cushioning without creating an overly soft or disconnected feel. A carbon-reinforced shell and hollow Cr-Mo rails make the Power Comp a dependable option for road, gravel, cross-country and trail riding.

Why Choose the Specialized Power Comp?
Choose the Power Comp if you prefer a shorter saddle that provides a stable platform beneath the sit bones. It works particularly well for riders who remain relatively centred on the saddle and rotate forwards when riding in a lower or more powerful position.
The Power Comp provides the proven Power shape, carbon-reinforced shell and Level 2 padding at a more accessible price than the titanium or carbon-railed models. The hollow Cr-Mo rails add some weight but provide dependable durability and straightforward compatibility with standard seatpost clamps.
Free Retül Digital Sit-Bone Measurement
Choosing between 143mm, 155mm and 168mm should be based on your sit-bone measurement and riding position—not your body size or the width of your existing saddle. A wider saddle is not automatically more comfortable, and extra width can cause inner-thigh rubbing if it does not match the rider.

Our Thoughts
The Power Comp is a good starting point for riders wanting a performance saddle without jumping straight into Mirror technology or lightweight premium rails. Its Level 2 padding is supportive rather than soft, which helps keep the pelvis stable when pedalling harder.
The Power shape tends to suit riders who like to settle into one main position. If you regularly move forwards and backwards on the saddle, the longer, flatter Phenom may provide more room. Riders who prefer a longer, curved saddle for a low road position should consider the Romin EVO.
As with every saddle, correct width and setup matter more than simply choosing additional padding. Saddle height, setback and angle all need to work with the rider’s position.
