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.

Saddle width

A saddle that is too narrow is one reason for numbness while cycling. Using a saddle with the right saddle width for your sitbone distance and bike type makes sure that a biker is sitting on the sitbones and having the main pressure points there instead of having pressure on the perineal area.

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!

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.

The SQlab Solutions

To specifically counteract numbness when cycling, we rely on a sophisticated saddle width system that enables cyclists to select the optimum saddle for their individual sit bone distance. The stepped saddle concept ensures that the sit bones are optimally relieved, while the sensitive tissue in the perineal area remains protected.
