The Power Pro isn’t marketed as an MTB saddle, but we spotted some of Specialized’s pro enduro racers using it. Intrigued, we decided to give it a try ourselves. We weren’t disappointed. The radical cutout is designed to take the pressure off the personal plumbing of both men and women, particularly when in an aggressive forward position. On steep climbs, we suffered almost no pain or discomfort in that region. Even on longer rides, we had no issues with numbness or pressure points. For our main tester, it’s simply the comfiest saddle here. With the narrowest version (tested) measuring 143mm, it won’t suit snake hips, but we didn’t find it getting in the way when descending. A carbon hull and Ti rails keep it super-light, but very pricey. Happily, there’s an Expert model for $120 less.
