First Official Test Center at Dips&Drops

With Dips&Drops – The First Bike And Ski Hub – SQlab is taking a new step:
For the first time, its ergonomics concept is fully integrated into a bike hotel.

Dips&Drops is the first hotel to officially cooperate with SQlab, offering selected components such as saddles, grips and other ergonomic contact points – not only as products, but also individually adjusted.

The basis for this is the proven SQlab fitting concept, available directly on site.

Individual adjustment based on measurable data

A core element of the collaboration is the analysis of the key contact points between rider and bike.

This includes:

  • sit bone width

  • hand size

  • riding position

Based on these measurements, suitable components are selected and adjusted accordingly.

The objective is clear:
more comfort, improved power transfer and noticeable relief at the critical contact points – especially during longer rides, guided tours or more demanding outings around Flachau.

Ergonomics as part of the overall riding experience

What makes this collaboration unique is not just the fitting itself, but the context in which it takes place.

The setup is not treated in isolation, but as part of the overall riding experience at Dips&Drops.

Guests can ride the individually adjusted components directly on the trails around Flachau and experience their setup under real conditions.

»For us, biking is more than just an activity – it’s part of our DNA. With SQlab, we’re taking the riding experience to a new level by making performance and comfort measurable and tangible.«

— Hans Harml, Host & Leader Dips&Drops

Official launch during season opening

The concept will be officially introduced at the
Bike Hub Season Opening from May 22–25, 2026 in Flachau.

From then on, it will be available to all interested riders.

Significance of the partnership

This collaboration marks the first step for SQlab beyond the traditional retail environment.

Ergonomics becomes accessible where it truly matters: in the interaction between rider, bike and terrain.

At the same time, Dips&Drops reinforces its ambition to go beyond offering infrastructure – and to further develop the overall bike experience for its guests.
