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 riders with wider sit bone (ischial tuberosity), 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.
** John's description: "I designed this particular model for Women riders that use a Road bike with clip on aero bars. The saddle has a 155mm rear width with a rounded top surface for a larger surface contact area, this usually works well for newer riders that do not use an aggressive aero position. One special feature is that the Nose area get’s narrower back away from the seat nose, this is so a rider with thicker upper thighs will have better clearance and help with chaffing. The nose width is fairly wide at 50mm but has a deep trough area so the riders soft tissue has better relief. The saddle was designed to actually be installed slightly nose high to help roll weight off the front and onto the sitbone areas, this also builds core support which will take pressure off of the riders hands / neck and shoulders. While this saddle does work on a regular Tri bike with aero bars that are fairly level with the saddle, it seems more successful on the Road/Gravel type bikes. This saddle is also not “super soft”, I have found that if a rider goes further than about 10 mi. on training rides, the soft saddles seem to cause a lot of rider core movement from lack of support or the rider easily starts riding crooked on the seat caused by leg length differences etc."
KEY FEATURES
SHORT NOSE ROAD SADDLE, AGGRESSIVE THIGH RELIEF IN REAR FOR ISCHIAL SUPPORT
We listen, we have been listening and now we have brought out the saddle that should answer a lot of prayers. We started by making the nose width 38 mm wide and we made the outsides of that nose flat and smooth. Your legs will glide effortlessly over the sides, your upper Hamstrings won't be interfered with either, it's a narrow saddle that flows out wider in the rear to give a great seating area. This is not a one position only saddle, you can ride far forward or straight in the middle, a lot of great places to increase power to win those races. We listened some more, And we made this saddle 38 mm tall with more padding, a touch softer to help with those long rides and to help decrease those saddle sores. If you currently ride in the middle or towards the back of saddles you will see how this saddle cradles you, helping to support your core, these features make this a very universal product. Whether you are road racing or heading out for a triathlon, whether you ride very aggressive aerobars or a more conservative road bars, this will give you comfort.

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.

** NOW WITH JCOB REAR HYDRATION MOUNT (RHS) READY The new 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.

** NOW WITH JCOB REAR HYDRATION MOUNT (RHS) READY
A comprehensive redesign of one of the all-time favorites in the cycling industry, the Plus 2. The new Delta P 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.

The Type R is a redesign of the classic Randee Saddle. The Type Rsaddle is designed for long hours in the saddle. It was designed for you Randonneuring riders that log a thousand miles over a long weekend. It was also designed for the Police Department bikes that ride in all conditions. This saddle was also designed for riders to be very comfortable on the bike. The Type R has a short nose section to aid with nerve pressure relief, a deep relief channel, and an air directional vane to help direct cooling air toward the rider’s crotch. Designed more for a less aggressive bike setup, the rear is 148mm wide with a long broad curve for easier hip rotation. We found that for the Police officers, their gun belts “hung up” on standard saddles while dismounting, we solved that. And for you Gravel riders, we increased the seat rail height for more clearance. This seat is the King on those gravel roads giving an added suspension to your bike. If you’re a larger rider, this saddle gives you a lot of room and for riders that have no drop or a +rise setup on the aero bars, this is your seat whether it be for a Sprint or an Ironman, you will like this.

SHORT NOSE, LONG CURVED REAR, LONG CUT OUT, GREAT VENTILATION
