Koobi PRS Century Saddle First Impressions
I purchased the Koobi PRS Century saddle based on what I saw when I was in Wichita Falls back in August for the Hotter’n Hell 100 bike ride. Koobi was in the Consumer Expo. Many years ago I rode on the first Koobi AU saddle and was pleased with it. I rode that one until the leather cover tore. While the Koobi AU was not what I considered an expensive saddle the Koobi PRS Century is an expensive saddle for me. This is why I only considered buying this saddle after I learned about the 30 return policy.
Opening the box I saw they included extra polyurethane bumpers to adjust the suspension. The instructions were there as well and appear to be detailed enough to make the change easy. So far I have not found no reason to change the bumpers that were installed.
When I ordered the saddle I choose the rail medal (titanium alloy or manganese). There are women’s versions as well. In addition I was asked for my body weight, number of hours cycling per week, primary use of the saddle. These questions direct the suspension bumpers that are installed. My weight is on the edge of one of the selections so I had to decide whether to go above my weight or below. I chose the range where my weight was at the bottom.
Once the order was placed shipment happened very promptly and two days later the USPS delivered the box. Now for the video.
As of October 30th I have about 140 miles on this saddle. I am pleased with the ride and feel and unless something comes up in the next ride or two I will not be exercising the 30 day return policy. The seat is more comfortable than the Douglas one I replaced and I thought it was comfortable. Watch my ride reports for comments as I continue to ride the Koobi PRS Century.
