The new Specialized Phenom Pro is highly comfortable, supportive, lightweight and without short snagging potential. For this tester, it has become the go-to choice.
Saddle selection can be such a fickle thing. So many people ride whatever came with the bike and are none the wiser. Others struggle for comfort, forever seeking that Holy Grail.
Personally, I used to fit into the first camp – and at some point found myself struggling with overuse injury and have forever been uncomfortably in the second camp. At least until I found the Specialized Phenom – which for me, just works.

The details: versatile styles
The new Phenom Pro
The Phenom was designed ground-up as an off-road saddle. With this, it offers a smooth and catch-free shape for moving around on descents, while also offering scuff guards in case you fail to stay on. Specialized readily admits that plenty of people use their road saddles on mountain bikes, but those can suffer from snagged shorts and risk of tearing from a crash. Likewise, there’s nothing stopping you from using this saddle on the road.
