Koobi Cycling Jersey (Reg. $79.99) with Saddle $29.95*
Detailed Description
Is it a Race-horse or a Work-horse? You decide. We increased the volume of padding by 20% and reduced the density of the padding by 18% as compared to the firm-rated Xenon. The AU Enduro bridges the gap between a touring saddle and a lightweight racing saddle. Designed to take the abuse, the Enduro also comes equipped with rear Kevlar TM edges and reinforced stitching. Add lightweight Manganese rails and it weighs in at 259 grams. Koobi’s patented Splitfit Technology ensures comfort and adds a new streamlined shape, including a thinner nose. Made in Italy, the AU Enduro offers the same high-quality workmanship and style as the Xenon.
AU Enduro - FeC Rail - 299 grams - Strongest Rail - 155 mm width - $95.95
AU Enduro - Mag Rail - 259 grams - Best Value - 155 mm width - $109.95

Awesome Saddle

After trying numerous saddles that weren't comfortable after 50 miles or so, I discovered the Au Enduro. Mine now has around 9,000 miles on it and has been through several centuries. For me, it is as comfortable at mile 100 as it is at mile 30. Unfortunately, I have completely worn out the leather on the sides of the nose, and will be purchasing another one soon. I LOVE this saddle!

I've had an Enduro for about five years now, riding seasonally for exercise. I remember back when I got it I thought I would have to give up biking because the numbness caused by other saddles was threatening my sex life! I did some reseach and gave the Koobi a try and since then the only time I think about my saddle is when I ride a bike without a Koobi. The Enduro is an incredibly comfortable saddle for my anatomy. Needless to say the cure for the numbness is priceless. My only complaint would be that the Kevlar fabric is starting to come loose from the underside of the saddle; I guess the glue is not lasting as long as the rest of the saddle. But honestly I would buy ten of these before I bought one of the many other saddles I have tried. I can't tell you how happy this saddle makes me!

Great saddle for a 2,500 mi. tour

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.
