KOOBIE Saddles
Anyone ever experience riding one of these, or do they have one.
the Prs alpha saddle is their top line,and seems quite interesting the way it is made to stop some shock transmission.
Talking to the owner today the selle smp is a copy of a saddle they orginally made 9 years ago.

I saw on the web page that they recommend replacing saddles at 400 hours. Anyone ever heard of this?

I've had good luck with my AU Enduro; the line runs somewhat wide, which apparently is what my sitbones need. In my experience, it's a well-made and comfortable saddle.

Just call me Chris
I had a PRS and rode it for 3-4 months. Did not work for me. Never felt comfortable. Love the Fizik Arione.

I tried out a AU Enduro for ~200 miles. Couldn't get comfortable and gave up on it. I was however impressed by their customer service. My friend ordered a PRS model can't remember which. They informed him there would be a delay in shipping that particular model. They sent him the AU Enduro, which he gave to me, as a goodwill gesture for the delay. But his PRS came about a week after the AU!

I had one for a while. Very comfy but a bit heavier compared to my new one (Race X Lite). But I would recommend from a comfort standpoint.
