from Double Oak, TX, USA Date Reviewed: April 4, 2004 Strengths: More comfortable than a bare seatpost Weaknesses: Never truly felt comfortable for more than an hour (numbness would begin sitting in and generally uncomfortable).. seemed padding would compact into the center, negating the center channel. Ultimately though durability, went to ride today and noticed something seemed wrong with it, looked more closely and the rails had buckled just behind the seatpost mount, slightly lopsided, about 2mm "depression" on the worst side. There had been no problems before my previous ride, and no crashes, so no apparent reason other than just I must have plopped down firmly on it (I ride mostly XC, no significant drops of more than a foot, which I take out of the saddle anyhow usually)... so I quickly pulled my recently purchased Koobi Enduro off my roadbike, put that on, and went for a 2 hour ride. The difference from all previous rides was night and day, I literally didn't notice the saddle the entire ride, and not a trace of numbness or any form of discomfort... I knew I wanted to replace parts on the bike as they wore out with better ones, and the saddle was on the list for when it "wore out", but it was a bit of a surprise to see the rails bent like that, but I'm glad it did, I'm happier to know that the Koobi works wonders on my MTB as well! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Grapevine Northshore Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: Came on Specialized Enduro 03 Similar Products Used: Ancient Selle on my roadie, new Koobi Enduro Bike Setup: Stock Specialized Enduro, about to see significant new season upgrades on most of the parts.

from CA,USA Date Reviewed: October 27, 2003 Strengths: Very reasonably priced and light, bought it on sale at www.specialized.com. The seat felt kind of too stiff at first, but actually feels great once after the firmness is get used to ( after 2 or 3 rides ). No numbness whatsoever. Easy to slide back and forth when climbing and going downhill. Weaknesses: Poorly constructed. After less then a season, the rails got twisted off the seat after a minor fall. I can bend and force the rails back into the place but they pop off again easily. Trashed it. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Still exploring Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $35.00 Purchased At: www.specialized.com Similar Products Used: Stock "too soft" seats from my trek and giant. WTB Speed V (good). Bike Setup: The seat was on a Trek 4300.

from Medford, Oregon Date Reviewed: April 22, 2002 Strengths: Looks, price (it was on $ale). Weaknesses: UNCOMFORTABLE! After all the hype with the "Body Geometry" line. somehow I expected more from this saddle. It's a "scrotum squeezer". The raised rails seem to align perfectly to each nut. After only 2 back-to-back rides I was left very saddle sore, not to mention the side lettering started to come off. Poorly crafted.
