I bought an AU Enduro for use on my first bike trek. It was very comfortable and held up well for 2,500 mi. from Prudhoe Bay to Vancouver, including about 1,000 mi. of bumpy dirt(I took the scenic-scenic route) and several rainy ride days. My only complaint is weight -I am building a lightweight bike for the Death Ride (129 mi. and 15k ft. vertical) and thought I'd used my AU enduro. My steel rail AU tips my (reasonably accurate) kitchen scale at about 340 grams -too heavy. I'd be interested in springing for the Xenon for this bike, but now I don't trust the advertised weight...

I like the saddle except for the seams. On a long ride, you begin to feel the seams.

6'1" 180 pound new rider on Specialized Allez road bike. I live on the coast where the riding is flat. I ride 5-6 hours a week on the road bike to cross train for running. The stock saddle (w/ cut-out) was a little soft and became uncomfortable +/- 15 miles. Alot of numbness and pain. I tried a Bontrager RL 143 mm (no cut-out) and it was better but still became uncomfortable after +/- 25 miles. No real numbness but painful on the sit bones. Purchased the AU Enduro and it is the ticket for me. No real'break-in' period. No discomfort or numbness. The padding is 'medium' and feels perfect reagrding firmness and support. Width and length are right on too. I was beginning to think that road biking was not for me. Before this saddle, 20-25 miles was killing my tail. No problem on the Koobi. Do not need to stop or stand at all. Re-positioning is infrequent as well. I am completely satisfied. I purchased it from Phil at Koobi. Service, shipping , craftmanship and most importantly, comfort were as promised. I would buy it again and am recommending it to my rider friends. It even looks cool, heck, it is cool.

I've had the AU Enduro for about a year now. It took some getting used to the increased pressure on the sit bones but I have never experienced any numbness or perineal discomfort with this saddle. I only wish the leather seams on sides of the nose were eliminated or in a different spot. Mine are starting to wear through and it's only a matter of time before they tear.

I've ridden a number of long rides with this saddle. After a few hundred km my butt still hurts, but I suppose that's just the way of the saddle.
