Specialized Mirror $addle

[mcteague]

First review I've seen on Specialized's new 3D printed saddle. Looks like the expected price is $500!!! If the tech works out I would expect prices to come down over time but....wow!

The finished product isn’t a one-piece construction. Instead, you have the standard carbon rails and shell with the printed upper glued to the shell. Come March, the Mirror will be available in two widths: 143mm and a 155mm. All this tech and development doesn’t come cheap though — the saddle is predicted to cost around US$500. That’s not a saddle you’d be happy to scuff up against the cafe wall.

Well, there's always a balance between aesthetics and functionality, right? This looks like mesh BB shorts from the 80s. Not sure I want it as my saddle...

I can buy a bike for that.
