Specialized Power Arc Pro Elaston Mens Road Saddle, 155mm Width

The new Specialized Power Arc Pro expands on the success of the original Power saddle. It features the same channel and length as the original and S-Works Arc, but where it differs is in its titanium rails versus the carbon fiber found on the S-Works. But this means that it still features a stiff, FACT carbon fiber shell and lightweight EVA padding. The shape of the saddle is also designed to provide ample sit bone support, and this has been coupled with a shorter-than-usual nose section to keep pressure off of soft tissue while riding in aggressive positions. Specialized even took this ideology a step further via an extra wide and elongated Body Geometry channel that's been proven through blood flow testing and pressure mapping to reduce unwanted numbness and pressure.

• Patented Body Geometry design is lab-tested for both men and women to ensure blood flow to sensitive arteries.
• Stiff FACT carbon fiber shell is tuned for support and ride compliance.
• Elaston foam provides unrivaled comfort and support on longer rides.
• Lightweight, durable, and hollow titanium rails.
• Level II padding: Medium density foam for bike feel with additional cushioning.
• SWAT™-compatible mounts molded into the saddle base allow for sleek and integrated storage solutions.

Sizing:

To determine your correct sit bone width at home follow these steps:

1. Items required: Corrugated cardboard, pen, ruler
2. Find a hard, flat seat surface of normal chair height, place corrugated cardboard on it and sit on it firmly with your back upright
3. Stand up and measure the distance between the two sit bone depressions left behind in the cardboard.
4. Add 20mm to find your correct saddle width

Note: Scientists have measured sit bone spacing for large populations. On average, men’s sit bone width ranges between 100mm – 140mm (give or take a few mm to round), and women’s range between 110mm – 150mm.
