Specialized Power

[armada]

Hey,

i see a lot of builds have a Specialized Power saddle.

I like it a lot and have it on 2 of my bikes. I would need a new one, and i have ordered a 'fake' one which was a lot worse than the original. I have also ordered a 3d printed Ryet saddlewhich is also a lot worse ( for my behind ) than an authentic Specialized Power saddle.

Has anyone found a decent alternative or should i just bite the bullet and order another one?

I run a Specialized Power Mimic on my gravel bike.  I liked it so much I got an WildSide "knock off" AliExpress for my XC MTB.   It was very comfy even on 100k marathon races and training rides.  I bent the rails/broke the base on a bad jump at a bike park after about 6 months of use.    Its just slightly softer, and slightly bigger than the Specialized model and 1/10th the price.

I got no comperison to the original, but I'm quite happy with this one from Bucklos:

I got the version with the open 3D print, which is also only 164g.

The padding is a lot firmer than the Ryet Aircode I had before. Out of the box the surface was quite sticky and it took a few rides to polish and reduce the friction.

I have ordered 2 mimic power saddles from the exact same vendor and they were very different. One had the correct shape but then the fabric adhesive started failing and it is no longer a usable saddle. The second one I ordered started sloping down on the sides way too early so the shape caused blood flow issues.
