Strengths: Comfortable
Not hard to adjust to.
Can comfortable sit in different positions for different terrain and climbing.Weaknesses: Cost. I spent $150 for a 2nd.Bottom Line: After beginning another season with pain in the behind, I decided to try a Koobi saddle, especially because I am building up to a century this year. The saddle is very comfortable, and even when it hurts (which is rare) it hurt only on the sides of your backside, and does not affect you off the bike. A great improvement over all the other saddles I have tried, which are many. I am about to bite the bullet to put another one of these on another bike.

Strengths: Good comfortable long distance saddle.Weaknesses: Poor design of the whole Elastomer locating system...the junky grey plastic covers along with cheap carbon screws...rust easily don't seem to fit with this quality saddle.
They must think we don't ride in the rain?
At over two hundred dollars it needs better quality hardware.
I contacted the manufacturer about the plastic covers breaking and the rusty screws...they didn't appear to be that anxious to help.Kinda blamed me.Bottom Line: I ride about 5,00km/year
Had the Koobi PRS Alpha for two years..it works pretty good and is comfortable for me.However it is not as well made as some others....The junky grey plastic covers that have to be pried off to access the screws for changing the Elastomers..break at the slightest contact...the screw are really Cheap Carbon Allen Heads which rust up immediately...The Elastomers do not seat properly and can pop out unless glued in. really like the saddle to ride with...but feel for this price that stainless screws are in order ...and that a redesign on the grey covers is long overdue.
