Its ergonomic shape ensures maximum comfort and relief in the perineal area, supported by a recess in the centre of the saddle. The saddle's active technology enables dynamic adjustment to the pedalling motion, relieves pressure on the intervertebral discs and minimises pressure on the sit bones.
With its saddle width system, SQlab wants to ensure that every rider finds the right saddle width to guarantee the best possible comfort and the most efficient power transmission. Perfect fit, by determining the sit bone distance. This measurement can be carried out either at home with a free measuring kit or at a specialist dealer to determine the ideal saddle width. The high-quality workmanship and the use of durable materials such as Kevlar and microfibre upholstery underline the value of the product. SQlab saddles have repeatedly won reader surveys and testswhich proves their popularity and excellence. More information about the saddle at www.sq-lab.com
