A bike saddle is a very personal thing. Once a rider finds that perfect saddle, the magical mix of firmness where it’s needed and softness where it’s not, it becomes a part of the family. The one-size-fits-all ethos that has dominated saddle-making for decades ends with the new Koobi Personal Ride System. The $150 seat – that’s right, but we’re talking family here – offers rubber springs of varying softness that fit into the saddle and provide up to almost half an inch of travel. The rubber button-like springs absorb impacts when things get rough and protect your most tender bits from the ravages of the road and trail. The idea is that the rubber takes some of that shock and eases the impact on your sit bones, back, neck and arms. The sleek saddle comes in men’s and women’s designs.
