Speed&Comfort

The Plus 2 is an updated version of our venerable Plus seat. As our go-to seat for many years, we didn’t want to mess with a good thing, but John Cobb is a tinkerer by birth. Most notably we gave it a slightly softer foam to make it even more comfortable than the original. We also sculpted the edges of the seat base and changed a few seams to reduce chafing. Some minor weight loss from the reshaped base was a great added benefit too.

We’re sure that we’ll still recommend this seat for the widest variety of riders and riding events. It’s just that good. It has a greater adjustable range now with a change to longer seat rails. It is also now compatible with rear mounted hydration systems.

The Max offers a wide relief channel for maximum pressure relief. It continues our line of rider friendly seats developed with the mandate that comfort and speed shall exist hand in hand. The Max is a favored John Cobb design, and it’s ideal for either road cycling or triathlon racing/training. The lowered nose section works in concert with the deep-cut relief channel to relieve pressure on the prostate/perinea area for men and on the soft tissue area for women.

This is Cobb’s original seat with relief channel technology for road cyclists and triathletes.

The V-Flow was originally designed by John Cobb for his wife, Ginger. High performance road and triathlon riders have certain equipment requirements dictated by their body position on the bike. There is a vast difference in the seating positions compared to a recreational rider. In the case of a triathlon bike, the rider is rotated much more forward, riding on a completely different part of the pelvis area. The design of the V-Flow is made to complement this style of riding with its narrower width and pressure relief channel.

The new Type 5 is a redesign of the classic JOF Fifty-Five. Designed for the serious rider that has committed to a forward geometry bike.  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, the nose is 55mm wide so there is no need to use “zip ties” or other adaptions to find the all day comfort  on this saddle. 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, there are so many subtle features that add to the great experience when using this saddle.  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.
