S-Works Power Arc

The 1st cracked and so did the 2nd replacement. Way too much money for these saddles.

Sin duda es el asiento que más me ha acomodado para hacer muchas horas de MTB Maratón, sin embargo ya es el segundo que se me rompe en pequeños baches (Excesivamente fragil en la parte frontal de la base de carbón) y por el precio no lo recomendaría, sin duda las versiones PRO, EXPERT o COMP son mucha mejor opción lamentablemente desde hace mucho tiempo están agotadas en MEXICO. Slds.

The Power Arc shape is better than the the Power for me - fits much better. The only problem is they break sometimes. I'm an XC racer and way below the weight limit - I've had two saddles break on me in the same spot. Specialized warrantied the first one, but won't warranty the second one. Recommend you stay away from this unless you just want to keep spending money. Very disappointing Specialized!

This saddle breaks easily. 2nd saddle and it broke near the cut out area on the seat. The rails are strong but not the seat area. I’ve had two break on me…$$$$

So much better than the regular power shape. Does not rub thighs.

Second one of these saddles. After first one had the rails break I got a new one with same result.

This saddle was extremely uncomfortable. I am still looking for a good replacement for Specialized’s Lithia. Please bring it back. :)

It’s Perfect.

I have 5 bikes with this saddle. So I must think they are the best 😎

This is the second one of these saddles I have bought. It’s a great saddle, good cushion, relief down center, and light. I noticed that the creases formed into the leather cover are not as crisp, and sharp as the first saddle I bought though. Maybe the plates used to form the leather cover are getting worn out.

Very Comfortable

I have wider than usual sit bones, despite being a fairly lightweight person. I've always had significant trouble finding the perfect saddle. For some years I'd tried another brand's 152mm version, and it worked pretty good, but I didn't like the elongated nose and lack of cutout. Enter the Power Arc. HUGE difference. The extra 3mm width makes a bigger difference than I thought it would, and the shorter nose is a game changer since I like to ride low in the drops anyways. I can't say I feel the effects of a cutout, but I'm sure it's something down the line I might thank my lucky stars I chose. Lightweight, perfect width for me, good looks, easy to clean too. It's a winner.

I absolutely love the shape of this saddle. It solves the issue I was having with the Power Mimic saddle where the wings of the saddle tended to dig in behind my hamstrings pushing me forward on the saddle and rubbing on long rides. This would be a perfect saddle if it came with mimic. The lack of mimic makes it uncomfortable on the lady bits for longer rides. I find myself having to pick different shorts depending on what saddle I'm using that day (between the power with mimic and the power arc).

Não aguenta o tranco do XCO ou XC. Ao passar em um buraco e no movimento quebrou os dois trilhos de carbono. NÃO COMPREM até que seja reforçado o trilho. Obs: Aperto foi feito com torque correto, estava com 70kg e a posição estava correta dentro do BikeFit.

Gosto de peças leves, então esse selim foi perfeito pra mim. O primeiro pedal foi um pouco desconfortável mas logo me adaptei. Leve e aguenta o tranco. Muito satisfeito.

Só pontos positivos, não tem o que reclamar desse selim. Traseiro, cada um tem o seu, mas esse é PERFEITO para mim. Fantástico. Melhor selim da vida! Já testei outros três selins de marcas topo de linha / topo de gama, esse é o que mais se encaixou ao meu fit.

I love the saddle. For some reason the saddle keeps breaking mid way on the right side of the saddle. I'm 175# so its very puzzling. After two expensive failures I am going to have to try a different saddle.

Bought this saddle a while back and was very happy with the fit and performance of it. However, after only about 10 months of riding, the right rail completely broke rendering it useless to ride. I would not recommend this to anyone looking for a high end, high mileage saddle.

Its very good ! Perfect - no ! After reading the reviews I thought wow finally. Its probably the best seat I've had so far. For me the first ride was OK. Next ride much better. So for some don't get discouraged gets better when broken in. Will see what the future brings. Hope it's nirvanas !

I was using the Pro Stealth saddle for over a year, then decided to try the Power saddle as it would be good to match the new bike. It is a great saddle both for crits and long days in the saddle.

This is not my first Specialized saddle, but it is my first power arc. I have an older model power on my road bike that I bought from a friend. This one conforms just a bit better to my anatomy and I'll be soon purchasing another for my toad bike. The saddle that is the subject of this review is an S-Works Power Arc in red. Not only does it complete the style of my bike, it completes the function. The bike is a gravel monster, and this saddle is the perfect piece to connect me with that monster. Honestly, I know that it is amazing because I haven't thought about it or noticed it once. It absorbs the trail without complaint, quietly keeping me comfortable as the trail tries to beat me.

First off, it's key to have your sit bone measured so you are riding the correct saddle width. This saddle is amazing on short and long rides and leaves me sitting happily for hours! I've become a huge fan of shorter nosed saddles over the past few years and the shape of this saddle works great for me. I like that the wings of the saddle drop away a bit quicker than the regular power and that the nose has less of a cutout, too. Would definitely recommend!
