What is the origin of our name „SQlab"?
Asclepius (german: Äskulap) in ancient Greek mythology is the healing god of medical arts. With his magical healing power he is believed to be a master of the art of healing like no other. A typical representation of Exclepius is a bearded man leaning on a snake-entwined staff.
The snake (colubrid) eventually became the symbol of medicine and to this day can be seen used in this context in many medical and pharmaceutical facilities. Here at SQlab, with our medical specialists, we place a strong emphasis when developing products on the need for ergonomics and health aspects in cycling. As a result, we have hence adapted our name to the god of medicine in modified form and symbolically use a snake-entwined saddle to complete the logo. This is how our so-called SQ-laboratory, in which research and development of the highest level, has taken place for years with great success.
SQlab launches the newly developed Ergowave saddle shape
which has resulted from a three year research project in collaboration with the Frankfurt University. The research team was the first globally to succeed in calculating the forces that exist between human and bike into the deep structures of the human body. The new shape will be presented with SQlab's first carbon saddle, the Super6.1 which is equipped with a never before seen saddle pad system and which is hand crafted in Germany.
