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?

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!

PRS Century Clyde Friendly

I was looking for a performance road saddle that would stay as comfortable in the last hours of a mile century as in the first. The PRS Century does just that! Best of all, as an avid cyclist who tips the scales at 275 lbs., it is "clyde friendly." On top of that Koobi provides outstanding tech and service support! They don't just talk about it. -- Jack in Santa Rosa CA

Well built and very comfortable

I recently replaced my Koobi classic saddle with a PRS Century. The classic was perfect while I was getting back into cycling. It was orders of magnitude more comfortable than my stock saddle and after 4 years of use, showed little wear. But as my fitness increased, I found it caused chafing on long 5+ hour rides. The PRS Century is a huge improvement - slightly narrower and fits me perfectly. The build quality also appears to be better - not that the classic was poor but the PRS Century just seems put together with more attention to detail - absolutely no flaws whatsoever. I was worried that the PRS system would be a gimmick. I clearly is not. It noticeably smoothes out the chip & seal roads that I frequent. So far I've ridden several centuries on the PRS saddle and am totally satisfied with the product.

This saddle worked for me

After trying a variety of other saddles and being unhappy, I got the Koobi Century a week before the 08 Triple Bypass (120 miles & 10000' climbing). Did a couple of short 1 hr rides at lunch that week and found a lot less pressure and numbness than my previous best saddle, so I took the chance on my new Koobi for the triple, which was probably my hardest day ride ever. Did not go numb at all during the long ride, and at that time it was the best saddle I've ever ridden on. Since then I tried an ISM adamo that a friend lent me, and my verdict is still out on whether I prefer the Adamo or my century, so that is why I give 4 not 5. I woudl not hesitate to recommend the Centruy to people, and Koobi's excellent return policy gives you the confidence to try at low financial risk.
