614 ERGOWAVE® active 2.1 S‘Qantara Comfortable gravel bike saddle

Perfect fit for every rider

Each rider is unique and so is the distance between the sit bones. That’s why our saddles are available in several widths, ensuring a precise fit for every anatomy and riding style. Choosing the correct width is essential for balanced pressure distribution, lasting comfort, and optimal performance on every ride.

Wide Pressure Spread & Limited Anatomical Precision

This pressure mapping shows a broad distribution of load across the saddle. The sit bones are visible, but a significant amount of pressure extends toward the center. Anatomically, this means that weight is not carried solely by the bony structures and softer tissue in the middle is also being compressed.

Because the pressure is spread over areas that aren’t designed to take load, this type of pattern can increase the likelihood of pressure-related numbness or tingling, especially on longer rides. The flatter, less defined peaks indicate that the saddle isn’t guiding the forces in a targeted way, resulting in a less stable and less predictable seating position.

Anatomically Correct Load: Sit Bone Support, Central Relief

This pressure mapping shows two sharply defined pressure peaks placed exactly on the sit bones. Anatomically, this is the correct load path: these bones are made to carry the body’s weight. The central zone remains almost completely free of pressure, which helps avoid unnecessary compression of softer tissue.

By keeping pressure away from the middle, this focused pattern reduces the conditions that can lead to numbness, especially during longer periods in the saddle. The compact contact area and precise contour create a calm, stable pressure distribution that supports a controlled and efficient riding posture across all types of terrain.
