First Official Test Center at Dips&Drops
SQlab Brings Bike Ergonomics into the Hotel.
With Dips&Drops – The First Bike And Ski Hub – SQlab is taking a new step:
For the first time, its ergonomics concept is fully integrated into a bike hotel.
The Dips&Drops in the Salzburger Land region of Austria is therefore the first hotel to officially partner with SQlab—offering its guests selected components such as saddles, grips, and other ergonomic contact points, and not only providing them but also customizing them individually.
The basis for this is the proven SQlab fitting concept, available directly on site.

Individual adjustment based on measurable data
A core element of the collaboration is the analysis of the key contact points between rider and bike.
This includes:
sit bone width
hand size
riding position
Based on these measurements, suitable components are selected and adjusted accordingly.
The objective is clear:
more comfort, improved power transfer and noticeable relief at the critical contact points – especially during longer rides, guided tours or more demanding outings around Flachau.

Ergonomics as part of the overall riding experience
What makes this collaboration unique is not just the fitting itself, but the context in which it takes place.
The setup is not treated in isolation, but as part of the overall riding experience at Dips&Drops.
Guests can ride the individually adjusted components directly on the trails around Flachau and experience their setup under real conditions.

Shared goal: performance, comfort and health
SQlab and Dips&Drops share a common objective:
to combine performance, comfort and health on the bike.
Guests and external riders benefit from:
high-quality equipment
individual adjustment
direct real-world application on the trail

»For us, biking is more than just an activity – it’s part of our DNA. With SQlab, we’re taking the riding experience to a new level by making performance and comfort measurable and tangible.«
Official launch during season opening
With the launch of the 2026 summer season, the joint concept will be officially introduced. From early June, the measurement and ergonomics setup will be available at the D&D Shop for hotel guests and all cyclists in Flachau.
Significance of the partnership
This collaboration marks the first step for SQlab beyond the traditional retail environment.
Ergonomics becomes accessible where it truly matters: in the interaction between rider, bike and terrain.
At the same time, Dips&Drops reinforces its ambition to go beyond offering infrastructure – and to further develop the overall bike experience for its guests.
