Specialized introduces the Romin Evo Pro with Mirror

Specialized has introduced a new 3D printed saddle to its Mirror range with the arrival of the Romin EVO Pro with Mirror.

The Romin Evo Pro uses the exact same 3D printed pad as the S-Works Romin EVO Pro with Mirror but now comes with a nylon and reclaimed carbon fibre shell and hollow Ti rails.

Interestingly, for a brand that fits power saddles to the large majority of its bikes supplied to retailers, the announcement states that, “the Romin Evo has been a favourite for our professional athletes and racers everywhere season after season”. The brand continues by stating that, “its traditional long shape is designed to help relieve pressure in aggressive, race-inspired positions while allowing the rider to slide backward and forward on the saddle to provide the ideal position for tempo climbing or maximum wattage efforts”.

Mirror technology is said to reduce pressure by up to 26% compared to traditional foam saddles, something the brand states is, “validated with extensive high-resolution pressure mapping studies”.

The new Romin Evo Pro with Mirror, “uses a 3D printed matrix with 22,200 nodes and 10,700 struts and features a unique concave shell to deliver the brands thickest Mirror pad yet”, and is available in 2 widths: 155mm and 143mm.

The brand further states that, “by using reclaimed carbon fibre in the shell, they’re keeping scrap carbon fibre out of landfill, while creating a light and durable saddle”. Combined with hollow Ti rails, this delivers a saddle optimized for performance focused riding on road or XC focused mountain biking. The 143mm weighs in at a claimed 243 grams, with the 155mm said to weigh 237g.

The Romin Evo Pro with Mirror is available now from Specialized, with the RRP £290.
