Strengths: The quality of leather. The fit & the PRS suspension.
Koobi website was easy to understand. Low cost shipping .
Easy retrun policy.Bottom Line: After taking 7 years off I finally got back into Mountain biking last year. My old Trek hardtail was killing me. Was searching around the internet & found the Koobi website & called them. They recommended the PRS Alpha. Kind of hard at first but now I have been very pleased with it.
I have zero saddle discomfort. Heck, it’s like there isn’t a saddle.

Strengths: I have used a Koobi saddle for severl years.It's the best,most comfortable I have been on.When I got my new 29er hardtail,I tried WTB, Fizik & a Specialized before gong to the PRS Alpha.Needless to say my butt and I are glad that I did.Weaknesses: Limeted color selectionBottom Line: If you have questions qbout which saddle is right for you ,send then an email describing your riding: miles,your weight and they will recommend the right saddle. Koobi also has a great retrun policy,100% with in 30 days.

Strengths: Outstanding ride on my hardtailWeaknesses: Not very well know brandBottom Line: I have ridden 2 Leadville 100's on my Koobi PRS Alpha & have found it to be an outstanding set up. The PRS suspension works very well on my hardtail. Before the 2nd Leadville I did install new elastomers which improved the ride . This was a fairly simple process .
Will buy a new one if I get into Leadville this year.

Strengths: The build quality of the Koobi PRS saddle is 1st rate. Leather is high grade, TI/Mag rails are solid. saddle shell looks bullet proof. The density of the saddle paddle along with the shock absorbing bumpers makes for a great ride even over long periods of time in the saddleWeaknesses: no so farBottom Line: Great looking and riding saddle. Geo of saddle seems to maximize the confort. Koobi also provides 1st rate customer service. My hardtail is much more comfortable now.

Strengths: Still comfortable after one year of useWeaknesses: Poor quality control in manufacturingBottom Line: Over a year from my first review I am still very happy with this saddle. I have yet to experience sore buns before sore legs at the end of a ride. The downside is in manufacturing repeatability at the Koobie plant in Taiwan? What a surprise!!! I bought a second Koobie for my hard tail and it arrived with an inferior grade of leather and the workmanship in attaching it was subpar. I don't believe this effects the comfort so much but would like to see more consistency in their product. Anyway, it fixes the problem I was having, so I have to give it 5 jalapenos for comfort.
