I’ve been using Chamois Buttr for every ride the last few years, and probably 10K miles on my Power Mirror saddle. The only thing I notice is a little “shine” on the saddle, but the integrity is fine.

I clean mine with the Muc-Off matte finish detailer. Gets all the stuff off the seat ( including butter).
1 1/2 years and still looks new.
I got my Power Mirror 2 years ago following some perineal surgery (I’ll spare you the details)…gotta say I’m not impressed with the lengevity.
The front of the saddle is now compressed and the 3D printed material is flat as a board. It is actually causing perineal discomfort on rides over 2 hours…I’m probably gonna put my regular Power saddle on it its place.
And honestly, I never found any more or less comfortable than the regular Power saddle…definitely wasn’t worth the $$ in my case.

Has anyone tried the Power Expert Mirror saddle yet (the new-ish version with 3d inserts)? Does it compare well with the Power Pro Mirror?
I’ve got nine Specialized saddles on bike, with most being the Power Mirrors. I tried a Power Pro with Mirror, in the narrow 130mm option to see how narrow I could get away with. “Cushion” wise its more similar to a standard Power than a Power Mirror. Thats not a bad thing, but its not a replacement for the more expensive Power Mirrors.

I Nailed it! Although it took a full eight months…

I don’t understand why Specialized keeps making all their saddles with those two threaded inserts and not making a nice saddle bag that mounts to it. Seems like a wasted opportunity.

They had them before! But then discontinued them for some reason…
I use it for rear light mount 
Update…I swapped it out to a regular Power saddle and the perineal pain has disappeared. While I don’t necessarily regret making the original purchase, it definitely was not worth the $$ in the long run.

Funny you also felt this. I rode happily with the Power Mirror for a year. Then I started to get perennial pain…
Went back to the cheapest Power saddle and it was all gone…
Also the cheapest Power saddles are quite soft

Didn’t see much or any talk about this but for those of you coming from the non mirror Sworks power saddle, did you have to lower your seat post? I feel a bit high on it lol
Saddle rail to saddle top height can and does vary widely. Some are close enough to the same that most people won’t notice the difference. But some saddle swaps mean a necessary change in saddle height of 5-15mm or more in some cases.
Always best to measure saddle height with the current saddle, then start at that same height with another saddle. That’s true unless there were issues with the prior height or intentional change for another reason.
This issue reaches further than just the Power model for sure.

Yes, definitely. I ended up getting a bike fit pre-saddle and went in for an adjustment after getting my saddle. Mirror definitely adds a decent bit, so it’s worth measuring to see how much you have to drop.
S-Works Power Mirror is 5mm taller than the normal S-Works Power.
I am having trouble getting comfortable on my Power Mirror Pro saddle. I feel it is a bit too wide (143 mm saddle; measured sit bone width 112 mm). Specialized recommends the 143 at my size. When I actually put a pair of calipers on the saddle and measure Max width it is actually coming in at about 151 mm. Is this normal? I realize the saddle really drops off on the sides so the saddle clearly is not 151 mm wide where my sit bones actually are in contact with the saddle. When I say I wonder if it is too wide a saddle this comes from the fact that when I sit in the saddle and adjust back to were I believe I should be sitting I notice that there is a bit of saddle that continues to stick out the back. The discomfort I am getting with the saddle is pain immediately over my ischial tuberosities. Gets pretty bad after about 2 hours. I’ve been riding for years and don’t try to avoid a hard saddle as i realize that is usually the best approach to comfort. Just trying to figure out why I am not heavenly comfortable on this things as I thought I would be.
