active- Technology

In the fall of 2010, we launched the revolutionary SQlab active saddle technology with the 611 active MTB saddle. By 2011, we had expanded our range to include an active version for every riding style. Today, half of all SQlab saddles sold feature this game-changing active technology. The active saddle technology incorporates a unique technology that allows the saddle to tilt and move slightly as the rider shifts their weight. This movement helps to reduce pressure on sensitive areas, improve stability, and promote a more natural riding posture.

For Gravel, Road and Mountainbikes, the active-technology saddles use elastomers in various hardness levels to customize the firmness of the saddle. These elastomers allow for controlled movement, enabling the saddle to flex and adjust as the rider changes position or encounters terrain variations. Preventing Back Pain: This active movement encourages a more dynamic riding position, allowing the rider’s pelvis to tilt slightly. This tilt movement can reduce pressure on the spine and help maintain spinal alignment, preventing back pain, especially during long rides or climbs. Relieving Spinal Discs: By reducing static pressure on specific points, the active-technology saddles helps to relieve compression on spinal discs, providing better support and reducing the risk of injury over time. This is particularly beneficial on rough trails or during intense cycling where impact is common. Enhanced Comfort: The ability to adjust the saddle’s firmness via different elastomers means that riders can customize their experience based on personal preference and riding style. Whether climbing steep hills or speeding down roads, the active technology adapts to provide maximum comfort and performance.
