SQlab: 3 gravel saddles worth 160 euros
SQlab has developed the 614 Ergowave active 2.1 especially for gravel bikes. The saddle is designed to combine the advantages of MTB saddles 611 and road bike saddles 612. Its ergonomic shape with a recess in the centre of the saddle ensures maximum comfort and relief in the perineal area. 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 gets the right saddle width by determining the sit bone distance and thus the best possible comfort and most efficient power transmission. 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 in the cover underline the quality 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
