Saddles

Wider nose and slightly more padding than the 611 model, with 12mm of shock absorbing cushion - Combination of all the Ergowave and ErgoLux advantages, staged shape provides more free space and less pressure - Incorporates SQlab's unique design where the nose drops down away from the rear of the saddle, allowing for 55% of the rider's weight to be transferred to the ischial or "sit bones" - The Active design offers dampened lateral tilt which allows the saddle to follow the biomechanical movement of the pelvis on each pedal stroke (3 interchangeable firmness inserts included) - High-end, aggressive saddle designed for Trail and Enduro riding - Tough upper material, Kevlar reinforced sides, and grip material on the rear of the saddle

The first "Made in Germany" saddle from SQlab: the 6OX ERGOWAVE® active is the perfect saddle for long and steep climbs on the E-MTB, Allmountain and Enduro bikes. The 6OX ERGOWAVE® saddle has already been available for 2 years now, but not in this version: Made in Germany. The special thing about the new 6OX ERGOWAVE® "Made in Germany" is the foam of the saddle, which is no longer made of classic PU foam, but of the BASF Infinergy® material known from running shoes. This material is very robust and brings comfort to a completely new level, especially in off-road conditions, due to its quicker recovery. The cover is not pulled over the entire surface of the saddle as in classic saddles. There are only "tapes" on the important places. These are automatically attached to the Infinergy ® foam without any glue. The ergonomic saddle shape provides the right relief and comfort: The wave-shaped elevation of the ERGOWAVE®, which extends from the rear to the front, offers a perfect form-fit shape for most sit bones. This significantly reduces the pressure in the perineal area or female pubic arch. Also the flat, slightly curved saddle nose, which is lower in level, ensures less pressure on the sensitive areas for both men and women. For even better pressure relief, especially on longer climbs in the terrain, the saddle nose has been designed wide, with a flat and as large a contact surface as possible. The new active system has not only become lighter, but also much smoother. This increases comfort for the sit bones as well as relieving pressure on the intervertebral discs. In particular, the mobilization of the intervertebral discs is now clearly noticeable. The active-movement is even more adjustable in the new models, as the elastomers have become smaller and lighter. A prerequisite for maximum performance is the perfect fit for the athlete and therefore the saddle is available in four different sizes. The production technology was developed very successfully by Oechsler in Ansbach, a large automotive supplier, for a large sports products manufacturer a few years ago. SQlab and Oechsler then jointly optimized this process for saddles. From an ecological point of view, the local sourcing of SQlab "Made in Germany" products means not only that the long transport route is eliminated, but also that production is extremely efficient and subject to strict German guidelines for harmful substances. Local production, quality assurance and longevity are decisive factors for the SQlab project.

The 611 ERGOWAVE® active 2.1 is designed to meet the requirements of all-mountain and enduro riding. The saddle's wave-like shape and raised rear ensure perfect rearward support and optimum pressure distribution down to the deep structures of the body, which significantly improves power transmission to the pedal. The lowered nose, in combination with the recess in the middle, creates more space and clearance for the perineal area for both women and men. The padding material has been specially adapted to the requirements of MTB and has more damping in rough terrain. High-quality Kevlar cover protects the particularly stressed areas on the saddle. The new 611 ERGOWAVE® active 2.1 has been given a form, function and comfort upgrade for long uphills and trail descents on the mountain bike. The 611 ERGOWAVE® active 2.1 is equipped with the new active technology with a softer and lighter movement with less weight. The SQlab active saddle technology means that the saddle follows the pedalling movement, which increases comfort, mobilises the intervertebral discs and minimises pressure on the sit bones.

The 611 Ergowave CrMo Saddle was designed to precisely accommodate the requirements of off-road cycling and perfectly meet the demands of All Mountain and Enduro use. The chromoly version provides an economic option for those wanting to experience the benefits of the Ergowave. The wave-like shape and raised rear section provides perfect rearward support and an optimal pressure distribution which reaches deep into the body structures for improved power transmission. The lowered nose, in combination with the dip, provides optimal pressure relief for the perineal area. And for even more pressure relief, especially on long technical climbs, the saddle nose of the 611 was made approximately 4mm wider than that of the 612, but just as flat and with the largest possible surface area. The padding was designed for the specific needs on the MTB with better damping properties than the 612, making it perfect for rough off-road terrain. Additionally, a premium quality Kevlar material protects the saddle in the exposed places. The saddle rails on the non-active versions have been placed slightly closer together to allow for a more flexible shell which mimics the SQlab active technology and allows the saddle shell to follow the biomechanical motion when pedaling. This results in increased comfort, mobilization of the spinal discs and reduced pressure to the sit bones.
