The infamous EC90 Power Saddle from AliExpress which resembles the Specialized Power Comp Saddle. I picked up this used saddle seeing how cheap it was at $20 locally. As I was in the market for trying out new saddle shapes, this was a no-brainer because it looked like a high-end saddle without the sticker price.
After a few months using it, I've come to realize that it's just not for me. It flexes too much where the sit bones would be planted, and I started to feel discomfort in my knees and hips. Disclaimer, this is just my experience with the saddle, but I would not recommend it for long distance road riding. I do however feel like it's got a very comfortable shape.
Currently I'm trying out a Specialized Romin Evo on my roadie, and will continue my search for the best saddle for my butt. I've also got an ISM Adamo Prologue saddle on my tri bike which is quite firm and comfortable.

Created: February 09, 2022The reviewer discusses their experience with the EC90 saddle, which they purchased for $20 from an online marketplace. They initially found the shape with the cutout beneficial for aggressive riding positions, such as being in the drops or on aero bars, and considered it comfortable. However, they later noticed discomfort in their knees and hips, attributing this to the saddle's excessive flex. They compared the EC90's flex to that of a Cannondale saddle and a specialized Roman Evo, noting the EC90 had significantly more flex, which they believed negatively affected their pedaling mechanics and hip stability. The reviewer concluded that while the saddle's shape was initially appealing, the excessive flex made it unsuitable for their road biking needs, leading them to switch to firmer saddles like the specialized Roman Evo and consider the specialized power expert.
