Do you guys reckon it's worth giving the mirror a shot even though i don't like my power as much anymore as i tend to get numbness issues all of a sudden?

It looks like the saddle already is on its way to me! That store was super fast and helpful! Big thanks again for the sharing! I will report back my experience as soon as I tryed it.Szalon wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 8:11 pmThanks a lot!

I've been scouring the web and European stores for this saddle, where I've been told it's out of stock, with some dealers saying it won't be available before December (!). Yesterday I walked into a bike store in north-Italy, and found it glaring at me. I snagged it right away. Surprisingly, I received an email later in the evening from a second store that I had been contacting, telling me that they have two in stock (size 143), so I'm sharing it with you here: https://www.bicisportivrea.com/s-works- ... r-143.html

Anyone know if Specialized is going to make a Power Arc Mirror saddle? The standard Power is a little too flat for me, the Power Arc fits me better. I'm currently using an S-Works Power Arc 143.

I have both the Power, Power Arc (which suits me better) and I just received the Mirror... I think the Mirror is actually closer to the Power Arc than the Power. It is certainly not as flat as the Power.
Interesting..... I'm trying to find photos from the front to compare the Power, Power Arc and Mirror.
Glad you got it, hope it will work out for you!Szalon wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:37 pmIt looks like the saddle already is on its way to me! That store was super fast and helpful!

Yes I agree.
Also, it donesn't really feel like either for me. Miles better.
Literally been set and forget so far and every other saddle I have ever had has been a never ending tinker to try and find more comfort!!
So impressed at this stage.
Couple of hundred miles in now, so every more hopeful it;s the real deal!!

I'm in same boat. I'm on the mirror now and no problems since October. The saddle is more rounded than traditional power. I think you're going to be fine.ichobi wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:56 pmWe are in exactly the same position.

~100 miles with the saddle and its been great. Coming from a Power Elaston/Pro Stealth, the Mirror is more comfortable. Feels like it keeps me in place better, also feels like you sink into the saddle a bit. As others have mentioned, it really feels like a "set it and forget it" experience.

I ordered one almost 2 months ago. Got a shipping date and it was shipped. Then just last week, I got an email saying that they're out of stock.

Oh well...I guess I'll have to wait to check out the Mirror saddle. Who knows when they will be replenishing stock.
