Detailed Description


When bumps are encountered by a traditional frame saddle, the foam compresses, the base flexes and the rails flex. The limitation of this dated design is "one size fits all." Actualy the "one size fits all" is for a 220 lb person. The greater your actual weight varies from this 220 lbs, the less the saddle can optimally absorb bump energy. For lighter riders - especially women - the traditional saddle frame is too stiff. Koobi solves the limitations of a "one size fits all" frame and base by placing an interchangeable elastomer spring between the base and the rail. Softer or firmer elastomers can be installed to soften or firm up your ride.

On a glass smooth road, what you feel is the firmness and shape of the saddle. As roughness is encountered, the elastomer suspension absorbs the bumps energy, reducing fatique to your sit bones, lower back, shoulders and neck. Width of 146 mm (5 3/4").

Each saddle comes with 3 of 5 sets of elastomer springs: extra soft (white), soft (yellow), medium (red), firm (blue)extra fim (black) offering up to 4/10 inch of travel.

PRS Alpha
Jack (Charleston, SC) 1/21/2011 5:19 PM
I installed my PRS Alpha after trying a lot of saddles. This saddle is mounted on my Cervelo S1. I started with the yellow pads but switched to the red. This saddle is great. I liked from the very first ride. It is firm, but absorbs road noise.

It replaced a Selle Italia Gel Flow after I found I did not like the new version. So I tried this PRS-Alpha and after a few hundred like it alot. I did have to lube the front arm / seat interface as it would squeak.

A great road saddle

After crashing and tearing up my Koobi PRS Enduro saddle that was several years old, I decided to try the PRS Alpha. I've had the saddle for about 8 months now. I really like the slightly more firm feel. It's a quality saddle that fits me perfectly and looks good too (it's white leather). I'm 6ft 142lbs and ride about 120-150 miles a week.

Go Hard, or Go Home!!!!!!

MATE!!!! Fair Dinkum this seat is a ripper, got a BMC SL01 road racer 3 months ago and have had terrible pain in the groin region, did some research and stumbled upon, arguably the best seat ever made! the koobi prs alfa has revolutionized the saddle indistry with a design like no other, allowing complete comfort and no stress i now ride 7 hours a week and I'm never sore. With an affordable price tag, i would recommend this saddle to anyone, wanting to go hard, or else go home!

Fantastic Saddle!!
Bob Ford (Pennsylvania) 6/2/2010 7:25 PM
I purchased the PRS Alpha at the recommendation of a friend. I was immediately impressed by the great customer service as I ordered the saddle, with the rep taking lots of time to help me identify the best saddle for me and the right elastomers to use. From the outset, I have been very pleased with the saddle and it's great support and comfort. Today I just returned from my first 50+ mile ride of the season, and I'm overjoyed at how well the PRS Alpha worked for me!! No more sore rear end... the PRS Alpha is far and away the best saddle I've ever had... I have used many saddles from many different manufacturers, and none approach the all-day comfort of the PRS Alpha. In two words: highly recommended!
