Targeted Mirror support in a practical, all-round Power saddle.
The Specialized Power Expert with Mirror combines the familiar short-nose Power shape with two 3D-printed Mirror inserts positioned beneath the sit bones. These inserts distribute pressure across a wider area, while supportive PU foam surrounds them to provide a firm and stable pedalling platform.
A central Body Geometry cutout helps relieve soft-tissue pressure when the rider rotates forwards. The covered construction, durable hollow titanium rails and wide range of sizes make this a practical option for road, gravel, cross-country and trail riding.

Why Choose the Specialized Power Expert with Mirror?
Choose the Power Expert with Mirror if you already get on well with the short Power shape but want additional pressure distribution beneath the sit bones. It provides a more accessible route into Mirror technology without the price of a full-lattice Pro or S-Works model.
The covered surface also makes it a practical option for gravel and mountain biking. Mud and debris cannot become trapped as easily as they can in an exposed Mirror lattice, while the hollow titanium rails are durable and compatible with standard round-rail seatpost clamps.
With 130mm, 143mm, 155mm and 168mm options, it also offers a broader choice of widths than many high-performance Mirror saddles.

Mirror technology cannot correct an unsuitable saddle shape or the wrong width. Choosing between 130mm, 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.

Our Thoughts
The Power Expert with Mirror makes sense for riders who want targeted Mirror support without paying for a full Mirror saddle. It feels firmer than the Power Pro or S-Works models because the Mirror material is limited to two inserts and surrounded by conventional foam. That firmer feel is not necessarily a drawback—some riders prefer the more stable platform and covered surface.
The Power shape suits riders who like a shorter saddle and remain relatively centred over it. If you regularly move forwards and backwards while climbing or changing pace, the longer Phenom may give you more room. Riders who rotate further forwards into a low road position may prefer the curved support of the Romin EVO.
As always, the Mirror inserts are only part of the comfort equation. Correct width, saddle height, setback and angle matter just as much.
