About

SQlab utilizes the highest scientific levels for the development of ergonomic bike products.

At SQlab R&D, under the head of Dr. Stefan Staudte (urologist and extreme cyclist), groundbreaking award winning and original products and concepts such as the step saddle design, the saddle fit system and the brand new active technology originate.

 

Every cyclist is different – and therefore, our bike saddles, bike grips, bike handlebars and bike shoe insoles are all available in different sizes and shapes. Our dealer's sales staff have special knowledge and extensive experience in bike ergonomics and are able to measure your sit bones, check your grip size and foot type. To ride comfortably, efficiently and free of pain, the saddle, handlebar, grips, and in fact, the whole bike, must fit like a good pair of shoes.

The saddle is made with very lightweight carbon rails, carbon fibre reinforced saddle shell and a closed pore super lightweight padding. The wide SQlab Maxcontact® saddle nose increases the contact surface area and reduces the pressure to the sensetive areas of men and women alike.
