The Phenom Comp is a mountain bike saddle that's designed for comfort and strength over long days on the trail. It features a carbon-reinforced construction at the shell with outer edges that conform to your body for a near-custom fit. This version, unlike the Expert, has durable Cr-Mo rails for peace of mind, and like the Pro & Expert, it has our medium density, Level Two 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. (SSH) Carbon-reinforced shell with flexible edges adapt to your body for a near-custom fit and all-day comfort.

  • Patented Body Geometry design is lab-tested to assure blood flow to sensitive arteries.
  • Carbon-reinforced shell with flexible Adaptive Edge technology adapts to your body for a custom fit and all-day comfort.
  • Low friction panels on the nose and tail improve pedalling efficiency and mobility while moving on and off the saddle.
  • Light and super-durable, hollow Cr-Mo rails.
  • Lightweight and supportive PU foam for increased comfort on longer rides.
  • Level 2 padding: Medium density foam for bike feel with additional cushioning.
  • SWAT™-compatible mounts moulded into the saddle base allow for sleek and integrated storage solutions.
  • Size 143mm / Weight 254g
  • Size 155mm / Weight 260g

Great fit, needs improvements

Have 3 of these and love the fit. Over time the plastic has cracked (carbon rail model on my road bike). On my expert model the rails came loose at connecting points (hard tail MTB) Lowest model with cromo rails has held up the best (gravel). Expected more for the price and hope these can be improved. Otherwise love the fit and all day comfort. Wish they would warranty normal use but lack of durability. I’d bet the engineers would learn something from the real world results.

My preferred saddle, long lasting,

My preferred saddle, long lasting, comfortable, ligthweight, sufficient padding. This is the 3rd such one I have purpose, although stay away from the carbon rails if you are a frequently on the mountain bike as it will not last.

8 Years with the old white version of this...

I used this saddle because it came with my Crux I bought 8 years ago.. If your sitz bones are narrow enough for this saddle I'm sure it would be great, I've done multiple 150km plus rides on this saddle and it was atrocious, it pushed in the inner side of my sitz bones and no matter how far back I sat the bones had no flat surface. IF you measure your sitz bone width and happen to have a narrow distance, this would be awesome.

Very nice saddle for gravel

Very nice saddle for gravel riding. Narrower than the power line for more comfort on the drops, but for l more forgiving and versatile than the romin when things get bumpy

ehh.......not super stoked

I must say that I was expecting much more when purchasing such a pricey saddle. On paper it looks like a killer product. After riding for a while, I started to get some unexplained noises. I thought it was my dropper post.I just let it slide and the squeaks got louder over time. Finally, I swapped out my seat and all the noise subsided. Im not really sure what's going on with these seats but has something to do with rails and how they attach to the seat. I hope there is a fix for this and Specialized works it out.

Good but very firm

I like the shape of the Phenom but it's too firm to be comfortable for very long. Even if I'm riding technical trails where I'm in and out of the saddle my max ride time is 2 hours - less if there's a lot of seated climbing. The saddle is well made but either the base or the padding need to be more flexible. I'm not looking for a saddle as I've ridden road and MTB for decades but this is too firm for me.

Good seat but longer than an hour and its ehh

I got this with my diverge and wish I had a power saddle to swap out. Hopefully specialized will let me swap otherwise I might switch

So so for me.

I want to love this saddle but.... It's not working for me. Saddles of course are very individual. What I love: The cut out is great and that's a big improvement over my WTB Rocket. It looks awesome on the bike :) What's not working: It hurts my sitbones after about 45 min. I wish there was more padding. It has definitely less padding then my WTB Rocket.
