Thanks for pics of the newest version. I would like to try that thing out on my road bike. I hate the nose on the Power and would love something the same shape without the curled up nose.

I felt the same way about the Power saddle. I liked the shape and feel of the power saddle, but the nose was not comfortable. It was too thin and (as you mentioned) curled up.
The nose of this saddle is much wider in the nose and not curled.
Very interesting! Thanks for posting. The wing profile actually looks more like a Power Arc than a Power saddle, which I like. I used the Power for a while on the tri bike, but the wing profile was too square-edged for me. The Power Arc fixed that, but the nose is still a bit too narrow and the cutout isn’t quite large enough for me. This saddle looks like it addresses everything I don’t like about the Power Arc. Any idea if it will be available in different widths? The one in the photo looks like it’s 155mm wide. I’d need one in 143mm.

From specialized looks like one size avail currently.
I’m in The US and was able to get one from someone in the UK.
Used it a little but it just didn’t seem to work for me. I’ve been using the Power in my tri bike and I’m liking it better. The Sitero II is a beautiful saddle and the bottle mount is amazing; puts the bottles in a great, easy to reach and aero-looking position.
May be looking to sell it. I’m desperate for it to work but I just don’t think it will.
Interesting. It was available on the Specialized website in late July/early August. I just went to their website and see the old Sitero now. I had ordered and received my Sitero in time to dial it in for IM LOU. I like it, it isn’t magic but it is the best I’ve found for me. I would e-mail specialized and ask. I have found them to be fairly responsive to inquiries.
Good news…their website is not updated, but the new version is the 2019 Saddle. I called my bike store with the model number from the Canadian website. 27118-1600. They said they see plenty at their distributor…put me on hold, and then came back and said they have one on the shelf. I picked it up this p.m. So…they are available. Perhaps specialized is trying to move through the older model before updating their website. If your LBS can’t get it, let me know and I will give you the number of mine.
