Mr
Matt Roane (WNC) 6/23/2010 7:55 AM
I have riden my PRS Century for around 3 years now, I've been very happy with it. The greatest compliment I can give it is that I never think about it! Of all the components on my bike, this saddle never enters my mind. I've riden centuries, tri's, and lots of training rides; this saddle has performed well at all of them, and held up better than other saddles I've had. It came set up w/the red elastomers, they seem to work well for me at 6'3" and 180lbs.

Cure for the dreaded E.D.
Ken Duckett (Australia) 4/27/2010 6:04 AM
I purchased my PRS Century after consultation with the Koobi staff with regard to a developing E.D. problem I was experiencing with the saddle supplied on my harsh riding aluminium framed road bicycle. I chose the PRS Century because of the in-built suspension elastomers and the cut-out design. The PRS Century was completely successful with regard to the harsh ride of my bike but far less successful with the E.D. problem. I persisted with the PRS Century for many months all the while seeking medical cures for my cycling related health issues until I reached a point that I could no longer continue to ride. I also tried several unconventional saddles at this time with no success. Eventually I walked into a shop with the intention of buying new nicks to replace my old ones, worth a try I thought, the salesman listened with interest and then lent me his own firm, flat and hard conventional saddle to try. It was instant success, my E.D. problem disappeared completely, this saddle was quite expensive but with its titanium rails provided a ride equivalent to the PRS without the health issues. I can only conclude that the soft gel in the PRS is incompatible with my physiology and the somewhat sharp edges along the cutout also aggravated the nerves and blood vessels in the perennial area. The PRS Century while providing a smooth ride at a reasonable price failed to address the E.D. problem that I purchased it for.

My hind end thanks Koobi
Dan M (Louisville, KY) 3/30/2010 7:56 AM
I bought the PRS Century a few months after I got my first real road bike and as I was prepping for my first 2-day 150-mile charity ride. The seat arrived two days before a 50-mile training ride. I put it on, though nervously because of my uncertainty that it would be comfortable the first time out. Five miles into the training ride I had no more trepidation. Fifty miles later I was the happiest bike rider on the ride. On this seat I don't slide, and at the end of the ride I don't have to stand up just to get butt relief. Oh, did I mention that I'm big guy? So putting all my weight onto the few square inches of any seat can be threatening, but with the PRS Century, it is a welcoming experience.

This is the Saddle for Me
Chuck Pourciau (Shreveport, LA) 12/29/2009 8:30 AM
I just started riding this year. After conditioning my seat on a cheap saddle, I decided to purchase a better one. I am 6'3" and 220 pounds, and I wanted a saddle that provided both comfort and performance. I bought the prs Century. My first ride with the saddle was a 50 miler. I never felt uncomfortable. Due to weather and an injury, I was unable to ride for a month. When I got back on the bike, it was like I had never been off. The prs Century is the saddle for me. Thanks, Koobi.

Huh? I am riding a Koobi Century?
Andy (Near Chicago) 12/17/2009 8:05 AM
I have two of these saddles--one for my road bike and one for my touring (commuting) bike. I tend to forget about my saddle these days. There is no pain to remind me of my saddle choice. I put on somewhere north of a hundred and fifty miles a week in the spring/summer/fall, so I am not riding a lot of miles. But the Koobi Century makes those miles a pleasure. I had one problem with the saddle last year. I was getting a squeaking noise from the nose of the saddle. I emailed Koobi and had an answer the next day. I added a few drops of dry (chain) lube to the place where the rails went into the nose and the noise went away immediately. Good saddle, good company. If I need another saddle, I will come back here and ignore everything else. These saddles work!
