Specialized Amira Comp women's road bike review

Apr 2017 · Emily Chappell

This is perhaps the most subjective feature of any bike though, with almost as many saddle preferences as there are riders, but I’m a big fan of Specialized saddles and feel that with the research that’s been put into the Body Geometry range you’re off to a good start with this one.. .

Highs
  • Makes you feel like you’re winning La Course on every single ride

Lows
  • Could be unforgiving over very long days in the saddle
