Hi all, i need a longer and more comfortable saddle for my Specialized eMTB. Something that is at least 10.5" What do you recommend?

I ride a 2025 Specialized Turbo Levo SL Expert size S3.

Welcome to the forums, @AltiRider. 10.5 inches is roughly 267mm, and the good news is most MTB saddles land in the 245-275mm length range, so you're not asking for anything exotic. A few worth looking at:

The Specialized Bridge Comp with MIMIC is the obvious one since you're already on a Specialized bike.

It has a broad, flat profile with Level 3 padding for sit bone comfort, and the MIMIC centre channel adapts to your body for pressure relief.

MBR gave it a 10/10, measured at 262mm long and available in 143, 155, and 168mm widths. It's also SWAT-compatible, which keeps things tidy on your Levo SL.

One Levo owner specifically called it out as "really comfortable" with "an amazingly padded nose for climbing." At 262mm it's just under your 267mm target, mind.

The WTB Pure Chromoly is worth a look if you want more length and cushion. It measures 275 x 148mm, which puts it comfortably over your 10.5" requirement.

It has a deep V shape with a soft drop nose and generous comfort zone, and it's widely regarded as the plushest performance saddle going. Heavier at 340g with Chromoly rails, but on an eMTB that's neither here nor there.

The SQLab 611 Ergowave is the wildcard. It comes in five widths from 130 to 170mm, so you can really dial in the fit.

The 245mm length is shorter than your target though, so it may not tick the length box.
