Description Featuring their cutting-edge JOF (Just Off Front) geometry and pressure mapped construction, the Fifty-Five Saddle from Cobb Cycling is comfortable and versatile – built to enhance the performance of triathletes, time-trialists, and even roadies. The JOF geometry of this saddle has a short front, longer rear and slender sides. The short nose allows riders to hang off the front for an optimal aerobar position. The long rear enables riders to assume a comfortable neutral position when needed for breaks or pursuits. The slender sides of the saddle reduce thigh friction and prevent hamstring interference.
The Fifty-Five was designed for tri and road bikes so roadies can take advantage of its superior construction too. Thanks to its waterproof stitching, this saddle stands up against rain and years of use. Conveniently, the Fifty-Five is compatible with Cobb Cycling’s rear hydration mount so the rider can utilize a range of hydration options.

Beautiful but comfort comes at a cost
This is my first foray into split nose saddles and I'm a convert. For a saddle without much padding it is highly comfortable in an aggressive riding position and I've had no numbness issues. I purchased this one for my track bike and I'm considering a second for my road bike. It's definitely not the cheapest saddle and if you're a weight weenie who has to have carbon fibre everything this definitely isn't going to be for you. However, if your main requirement from a saddle is a comfortable place for your derrire andor have perineal numbness it may be worth trying this saddle.

fantastic
I have issues with long distance rides, particularly on my sit bones. This saddle has been awesome. No numbness, and no pain. I love it.

Better for me than ISM
The arms of the saddle stay narrow for a longer part of the saddle than many ISM models. This allows for much freer movement of my legs.
