Phenom Expert

The Phenom Expert was designed for comfort and strength over long days on the road or trail. It features a carbon-reinforced shell with outer-edges that conform to your body for a near-custom fit. This version, unlike the Pro, has rugged titanium rails for lightweight durability, it has our medium density, Level 2 Padding for ample support and comfort. Likewise, at the tail, you'll find the Phenom hallmarks of a rounded, anti-snag design, and throughout the saddle, an expertly-tuned construction that provides the ideal degree of both stiffness and efficiency.

Comfortable but flimsy.

I never had any discomfort on rides up to 4 hours (mixed paths/technical routes). I don't do any jumps or major drops, but used on my Hardtail - one of the rails snapped after about 18 months.

Not good

Been riding this saddle for four years no problem then decided to buy a second one and the saddle is scew, rails are loose and cracking its been replaced four times in 6 months and every saddle has been faulty, moving to Ergon saddle now, i will never ride a specialized product again as it is unexceptable for a company to have so little quality controll over their products.

Saddle cracked on 1st MTB ride without a crash

I put this saddle on a new MTB and on the first real trail ride it failed on the most minor impact. The embarrassing part: I was stopped and getting off my bike. It being a new bike I caught my foot on the handlebar and fell on my left side. No big deal. I get back on and notice the plastic has cracked from the back of the cutout to the rear of the saddle. Complete failure. For a MTB saddle this needs to be more way more durable. Now maybe I fell in the exact million to one spot that caused the fail but needless to say I'm disappointed. The only reason I put 2 stars is because I also have this saddle on a gravel bike and it has been good even with a couple light falls. I hope I can warranty the saddle that broke and that I was just unlucky?

Much better fit.

First time buying a seat designed for my seat bone width. What an improvement. Much more comfortable and my feet are not going numb. I feel like my pedaling strength has improved also.

Sent the wrong seat... and then asked for a review

Specialized sent the wrong seat (and wrong size) so the process is to "return/refund" and then you have to order again... except then the seat was out of stock... so after a number of weeks waiting for a new saddle I am going elsewhere. The other thing is it would be helpful if the website actually described what all the Specialized terms and technology mean. There is very little (helpful) information just proprietary technology names and prices, so I guess you just figure out what your price range is and pick one that looks good - simply lazy.

A great saddle is hard

A great saddle is hard to find, but I certainly have. After spending over 750 hours on this saddle in 2022 without issue, I must say that we go well together.
