Numbness while cycling

Numbness when cycling is an important warning sign that should not be ignored. These unpleasant sensations are often the result of permanently high pressure on the perineal area caused by a saddle that is too narrow, too soft or generally unsuitable. If nerve pathways and blood vessels in the perineal area are disturbed, this often manifests itself in numbness and less frequently in pain. At SQlab, we have made it our mission to solve this problem. Our saddles are specially developed to optimize pressure distribution and increase comfort. This allows cyclists to enjoy a pleasant experience without having to worry about numbness.

Health and Comfort

Saddle width

One of the main causes of numbness while cycling is using a saddle that’s too narrow. Selecting a saddle with the correct width—based on your sit bone distance and riding position—ensures that your weight is properly supported on the sit bones. This helps relieve pressure from the sensitive perineal area, enhancing both comfort and performance.

Less Pressure, More Comfort

Saddle Shape

Conventional bike saddles often lead to increased pressure in the perineal area, causing discomfort and numbness for cyclists. The SQlab Solution Step Saddle offers optimum pressure distribution in accordance with medical aspects, providing a revolutionary approach to cycling comfort and well-being. More free space – less pressure!

Optimized Comfort

Saddle firmness

Saddles that are too soft often become uncomfortable after just 30-45 minutes of cycling. The reason: they allow the sit bones to sink in deeply, which puts excessive strain and irritation on sensitive tissue such as muscles and tendon insertions. To solve this problem, SQlab has developed saddle models with different degrees of firmness that are optimized for different riding times and areas of use.
