SQlab MaxContact®
Occurs when cycling riders constantly change positions on the saddle. A little change of the upper body posture, a slight change in angle of the pelvis, will change the contact points and alter weight distribution.
A city commuter may prefer an upright position for better visibility or a more sporting position in adverse weather conditions.
A good mountain bike rider has an active riding style. He or she will alter their body position according to the terrain. Their center of gravity moves forwards and backwards depending on whether ascending or descending. More safety and comfort with dynamic sitting.

The physical law for the calculation of pressure reads:
In order to reduce the pressure caused by saddles to sensitive areas, one can either reduce the amount of weight pressing down on these parts or distribute the weight over a larger surface area.
SQlab’s MaxContact technology, combined with their step saddle design, does both.
The step saddle design takes much of the weight off the soft tissue and transmits it to the seat bones. SQlab’s MaxContact technology, with an optimal saddle nose design gives a maximum contact area while not inhibiting pedaling efficiency.
