Specialized Mimic Expert Saddle + Command Post IRcc Bundle
The Mimic Expert Saddle paired with the Command Post IRcc is positioned as the premium, best-in-class women's-specific bundle thanks to Specialized's Mimic biomimetic padding that protects soft tissue while promoting active pedaling and a featherweight, precision-tuned dropper post. Compared with the other bundles it leans into race-oriented weight savings and system integration, which justifies a higher price for riders seeking top-tier ergonomics and a finely tuned cockpit rather than a value or comfort-first tradeoff.
