Detailed Description
This is our original medium padded triathlon saddle. It includes a thin layer of gel, 18% softer density foam and 15% greater volume of foam than the Tri Sprint, the Tri serves the athlete who desires a moderate amount of padding. Ti rail, 257 Grams, 155mm, 6 1/8-inch width, generous relief area width. Reg: $139.95The original Tri (257 grams) remains the same with its medium padding plus gel and is well suited for the competitor who wants a modest level of padding balancing comfort with moderate saddle weight. The gel top layer gives a soft touch that conforms to the rider shape, while the firm foam beneath provides excellent support.
With the gel running tip to tail, comfort is achieved in all riding positions, especially the aero. The gel top is covered with Lycra
to meet the unique needs of a triathlete who is coming out of the water with a wet swimsuit or tri short, then jumping on a bike.
This material's ability to be comfortable, durable and non-chaffing while wet is ideal. Our 249 gram weight is achieved by using our Ti Alloy Rail.
Width of 155 mm (6 1/8"). Additional InformationCompare dimensions (widths) of all saddles.

Koobi Tri after 110 miles

I've now had my Tri saddle for about two weeks, and have done two 55 - 60 mile training rides on my Cervelo P2K, and it's awesome. I'm about 184 lbs, and over the past 5 years or so, I've gone through a bunch of saddles from cheap to pretty expensive, including Specialized, Selle Italia, E3 Form and the Koobi AU Enduro and Xenon models, and none of them have worked as well as the Tri has for me. I have somewhat wider sit bone spacing than most guys do, so I have used a woman's saddle on one of my bikes, but none of them have worked when I'm on the aero bars for an extended time. I used to use a Koobi AU Enduro, until I broke it this past winter when I rode off the side of my rollers during a training session. Even so, the au Enduro was just a hair firm for me. I could use it, especially on a hard ride where most of the weight was on my legs, but my sit bones would sometimes be complaining at the end of long ride. With The tri and its slightly softer (or maybe just deeper) padding, I have no issues with either sit bone soreness or numbness, even though I've only used it for two rides so far. It took me a while to convince myself to pay the $$ it costs, but I'm really glad I did!!
The bottom line IMO: If you like a wide, flat saddle, Koobi is the way to go, and the tri is the one that works best for me. I'm going to be getting one for my tourer once I get the money saved up, though I may go with the 1-step softer version for that bike.

After what I assumed was either the end of my renewed cycling lifestyle or the beggining of premature "EDS", I was forced to look for a solution. I had read about your saddles and the great reviews from your customers amd I am very pleased to say you have silenced my woes. Now I can ride all day and ..... all night, well OK, maybe not all night but I can.... for a while and that is the point. I am so glad to have purchased one of your saddles, Thanks Koobi !!
