Stable support with more freedom to move.
The Specialized Power EVO Comp takes the short-nose Power concept and makes it more versatile for riders who regularly change position. Compared with the original Power shape, the EVO has a wider nose and longer rails, providing better support when sitting forward and more adjustment when setting the saddle up.
Its supportive centre cut-out is shaped to support the sit bones while helping reduce pressure on sensitive soft tissue. Improved foam construction adapts across different contact areas while still providing the stable feel needed for road, gravel and XC riding.
The Comp model uses a durable nylon shell and hollow chrome-alloy rails, making it a practical way to access the latest Power EVO shape without paying for titanium rails, carbon construction or Mirror technology.

Why Choose the Specialized Power EVO Comp Saddle?
The Power EVO Comp suits riders who like a short-nose saddle but want more freedom to change position than the original Power typically provides. The wider nose supports harder efforts and forward riding positions, while the longer rails make it easier to achieve the correct setback.
It is a good option for road, gravel and XC riders who want the updated EVO shape with straightforward foam padding and durable components. Riders wanting more adaptive pressure distribution should consider a Power EVO model with Mirror, while those who prefer a traditional longer saddle may be better suited to the Romin EVO or Phenom.

Our Thoughts
The Power EVO Comp makes sense for riders who like the support of a short-nose saddle but do not want to feel held in one position. The wider nose gives you somewhere useful to sit during harder efforts, while the longer rails provide more setup range than the original Power.
The foam version will not feel the same as the 3D-printed Mirror models, but the key benefit here is the updated shape. As with any saddle, the correct width, angle and fore-and-aft position will have a greater influence on comfort than simply choosing a more expensive model.
