JCob Saddles

Type 5: is a redesign of the classic JOF Fifty-Five. Designed for the serious rider that has committed to a forward geometry bike, and designed to be ridden out on the nose of the saddle, the rider just perching on the front to open his thigh angle and build big power.  The Type 5 will purposely feel a little hard when you first ride it, give it a few rides and it will disappear under you.  It has industry leading 105mm long seat rails to give a broad range of adjustment,  and the nose is 55mm wide.  If you like to ride an aggressive bar drop to cheat the wind, the short nose design is the best, the narrow nose section that gradually tapers to the rear will keep your upper thighs from getting chaffed. Designed for both Men and Women. We included our rear Hydration mounts to easily add my bottle to your bike, the unique curved back shape will also cradle you for better hill climbs. This is a hugely popular saddle for IM racing or for short Sprints, it opens up your upper body so you can breathe better and have the best races of your life.

Delta M: is a redesign of the Max, often called the problem solver, that is the reference name of this saddle given by many professional bike fitters. We designed this saddle to offer a deep, wide relief channel for Men and it works very well. Over several years and thousands of miles, we have also learned that it can be a Woman’s savior for soft tissue comfort, as many female body shapes fit this seat very well. We have redesigned this favorite by adding our rear hydration mounts, adjusting the foam density, and smoothed out the stitching. This is a 130mm, narrow design rear saddle that can get you down the road for those long miles.  The fitting of the bike is key to saddle comfort, first and foremost, seat height and bar reach are crucial, and at most bike fitters you will find a Delta M as one of their main choices to solve comfort problems.  The nose of this saddle is 55mm wide, much wider than a standard bike saddle but not so wide as to cause rubbing. The perfect blending of the narrow rear leading into the flared-out nose section gives a great seating area.  This works very well on aggressive tri-aerobar setups and road bikes, so that you can drop down deep and not crush your parts.

Delta P: This saddle will help you put in those long miles on the bike. This saddle was originally a spin-off of the “V” series, it has a cut down nose section specifically for the Male riders and the narrow 130mm rear width that solves upper hamstring interference issues, especially for larger riders. It is a favorite of both Men and Women and can easily be used on bikes with more aggressive bar drops on both Road and Tri bikes. We have added our rear hydration mounts to the saddle for ease of adding more fluids to your bike. This is a great choice for larger male riders because of the narrow design, since it won’t chafe those inner thighs the way wider saddles do.  Don’t be afraid of the narrower rear area, thousands of riders have used this saddle for long tours and long triathlons and have said it is a great road bike saddle for touring or racing. A high majority of Women find this saddle more comfortable than the trendy “short nose” saddles, the cutout of this saddle is very easy on the soft bits for Women.

Type T: may seem like an odd name, but it truly represents the essence of this saddle. This saddle is the new 2019 model of the Tenace saddle. We designed this saddle specifically for road riding Women, taking into account several common physical complaints and addressing those with a unique design. This saddle is completely different than our narrower Delta series saddles. The Type T has a rear width of 155mm, plenty of room for riders that sit more upright, combined with a very unique nose shape. We learned that a major problem area of most Women’s saddles are that the noses are too short and taper very slowly to the front, our saddle has the narrowest nose of any relief channel saddle but as a feature, it’s narrower at the rear of the nose section than it is at the front end. This gives the saddle a very defined “T” shape, the purpose is to give those upper thighs a lot of extra room, so they don’t force the rider out on the end of the seat with every pedal stroke. It has been very successful so far and is great for both Road and Tri, for those long Tour rides it is an excellent choice.

Delta V: A new name, and a new look for a saddle that has been a go-to choice for rider comfort for almost 25 years. The Delta V model will be replacing our V-flow model. The thousands of riders on these saddles have always proven that it is a great choice for anything from entry level comfort to Ironman and longer events. We have carefully made a few improvements, namely modifying the cover material and the foam density but the original, all important, “narrow” 130mm design is still there, this key element gives the great comfort for both Men and Women. As a special bonus, we added the rear hydration mounts to the Delta V, making it very easy to add extra hydration bottles to your bike. This saddle is generally best when used on a Road bike or a Tri bike that does not have an aggressive bar drop, as it cradles the rider and should be mounted on the bike slightly nose high. Women find this saddle especially comfortable. If you had to gamble on only one saddle to be comfortable, this is it.
