Type T Saddle (Designed for Road Riders with Wider Sit Bones)
The Type T saddle, the 2019 model of the Tenace Saddle, is specifically designed for road riders with wider sit bones (ischial tuberosity). It features:
- 155mm rear width for a larger contact area, ideal for upright riders or those not in aggressive aero positions.
- Narrow nose design for better thigh clearance and reduced chafing, helping riders with thicker upper thighs.
- Deep relief trough in the nose to provide comfort for sensitive areas, with a 50mm wide nose for better tissue relief.
- Slightly nose-high installation helps distribute weight to the sit bones, reducing pressure on hands, neck, and shoulders.
- Not super soft but highly supportive—perfect for long rides, especially on triathlon and gravel bikes.
John Cobb’s Insights:
"I designed this saddle for women riders using road bikes with aero bars. It’s built with a 155mm rear width for better surface contact and a narrower nose to alleviate thigh chafing. The saddle’s designed to be slightly installed nose-high to help with core support and reduce pressure on the upper body during long training rides."
