SQLAB 612 Ergowave R (S Tube) Saddle

Performance Based Ergonomics
The shape - developed in a research project and in collaboration with the University Hospital of Frankfurt and the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences. Government funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. For the first time, we were able to calculate the forces occurring deep within the structures of the body and the maximum load between the cyclist and the bike saddle. The final result is the new ERGOWAVE saddle shape for a more ergonomically aggressive sitting position on the road and mountain bike, with the top marks among the maximum load in all tests.

Sleek rear
The raised back section provides more rearward support and ensures efficient power transmission.

Saving Energy
The wave shaped ERGOWAVE® profile which contours from the rear to the front offers a perfect form-fit shape for most sitbones. The rider does not need to be seated in an inefficient and tiring sitting position and all energy can be used for forward propulsion.

Lower saddle nose
The level and lowered saddle nose applies less pressure to the sensitive areas of men and women alike.

Biomechanics
Pelvis movement of up to 7° is made possible by the SQlab active Technology, which from a biomechanical point of view simulates the natural movement of walking and increases the efficiency of the pedalling motion. At the same time, the spinal discs are relieved and the pressure to the sitbones is reduced.

Low and flat
The flat saddle nose has a slight curvature which provides maximum contact area providing and associated reduced pressure. This shape provides a narrow saddle nose which minimizes chafing on the inside of the thighs while pedalling. The SQlab MaxContact® concept has proven valuable in other race models over the years and has been improved for the new ERGOWAVE® models.

• Shorter - Narrower - Lighter - Faster
• More performance based ergonomics from 165 g.
• The raised rear gives more grip and better power transmission.
• A big advantage is on straight roads and especially uphill.
• The stronger narrower mid-section and the narrow saddle nose gives more legroom.
• The proven SQlab ERGOWAVE® form relieves the soft tissue area and prevents energy- consuming bad posture.
• The saddle shell is weight and flex optimised down to the last detail.
• More longitudinal stiffness and perfectly coordinated material flex to the side mean more comfort with less weight at the same time.
• The cover is extremely light but also abrasion-resistant and non-slip. The padding is closed-cell and strongly minimised.
• The comfort comes from the shape and the flex behaviour between rail - shell - foam, which is coordinated as an overall system.
• Racers combine the saddle with the SQ-Short One12.
