SQlab active - Technology

active- Technology

SQlab's active saddle technology enables the pelvis to move laterally while riding, reducing strain on the lower spine, pelvis, and hips, and relieving the discs and facet joints. This makes cycling more comfortable and helps prevent back pain.

Relieves strain on spinal discs and sit bones


SQlab 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.

What it does

The 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.

Differences between City and Mountainbikes

The active technology is available for every riding style. The models for city bikes have the active switch function, which allows the horizontal movement of the saddle to be adjusted in two stages. In the mountain bike and road bike saddles with active technology, the strength of the lateral movement can be adjusted to the rider's weight using the three elastomers supplied.

City & Trekking

active - Technology Comfort

The active-technology saddles for city bikes features an adjustable active-Switch, allowing riders to customize the degree of movement according to their comfort preferences. This adjustment enables the saddle to tilt and flex as the rider shifts their weight. Preventing Back Pain: By allowing this movement, the saddle promotes a more ergonomic posture, which can help alleviate tension in the lower back. The dynamic motion supports the natural curvature of the spine, reducing the risk of strain during rides. Relieving Spinal Discs: The slight movement of the saddle helps to distribute pressure evenly across the sitting bones and minimizes stress on the spinal discs. This relief can be crucial during longer commutes, reducing fatigue and discomfort.

Gravel, Road & Mountainbikes

active - Technology sport

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.
