Bicycle Saddle Base

The base of the bicycle saddle is the foundation on which all of the other elements are built. You can shape it a hundred different ways, make it big or small, long or short, wide or narrow, and mix in carbon, but it is still the base. There are four fundamental attributes of the base that contribute to Koobi comfort.

1. Base dimensions and width
2. Base shape & contours, including the nose
3. Base relative flexibility
4. Base relief area
