What saddle is Michael Matthews riding?
Moderator: robbosmans
Hi, trying to identify this saddle that Michael Matthews has been riding this season. Apparently it is by the brand "Velo" but I can't find anything that looks to be the same model.
Any clues anyone? Any help would be very much appreciated.

It is probably a recover or rebadge of the Specialized model Robius mentioned. Specialized is not a sponsor of Sunweb, so may be a stealth way to get the saddle shape he prefers.

Definitely not a simple recover of any a Power or Power Arc. It looks very similar to the saddle my bike fitter commissioned, except without a groove down the center. Check out the 3DBikeFit Throne.
If that started life as a Power, it's been heavily modified. The back of the saddle and the center channel are shaped quite differently. Also, that's got A LOT more padding than any Power (which is the easy part if just making a new cover). A lot of what makes the Power is the profile from the side, though, which is hard to discern from the top view.

Here’s the saddle my fitter sells under his own brand name.
