Personally, after trying any other saddle, I always return to this model. Contrary to what is often said and written, this saddle suits an astonishing number of athletes, regardless of their size, weight, flexibility, or the distances they ride and their ambitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cutout between the two saddle noses, the shape of the contact surface, and the not-too-soft\/not-too-firm padding are likely the reasons for this. Precisely this combination allows the torso to rotate far forward and down around the bottom bracket without immediately building up pressure in the perineal area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Type 5, the crucial area where primary support occurs (the perineum, not the sit bones) is 55 millimeters wide, setting standards for many successors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeliberately, metal rails are used instead of carbon. One of the advantages, besides price and robustness, is that you can perfectly attach bottle cages that can be tightened firmly, like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/derbaranski.shop\/products\/profile-design-rm-p2-trinkflaschenhalter\" title=\"Profile Design RM-P2 Bottle Cage\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRM-P 2 from Profile Design\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hook at the rear is practical for racks in the transition zone during triathlon. However, it can also be unscrewed if horizontal bottle cages are to be mounted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on your previous saddle, this saddle may initially feel a bit hard, which is intentional. Excessive padding, especially at the front of the nose, can otherwise cause the soft padding material to be pressed into your \"soft tissues\" when compressed, leading to problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Taiwan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JCOB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53152777830667,"sku":null,"price":239.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0033\/1785\/8393\/files\/Type_5_Sattel_von_Jcob.png?v=1780410522","url":"https:\/\/derbaranski.shop\/en\/products\/jcob-type-5-sattel","provider":"derbaranski.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
