Escape the Everyday: SQlab Introduces the 611 active 2.1 ltd. Escape
Proven ergonomics meet nature-inspired design for trail and down-country riding
07.10.2026Cycling is about more than just movement. For many riders, it is a chance to leave everyday life behind, immerse themselves in nature and clear their minds for a few hours. This idea is at the heart of the new SQlab 611 active 2.1 ltd. Escape. The limited edition combines the proven ergonomics of the 611 active 2.1 with a nature-inspired design, aimed at riders who want to combine comfort, control and pressure relief on trails and long rides. The exclusive green and beige colorway reflects the inspiration drawn from nature and visually pairs with the 714 Handlebar Tape and 7OX Pro Grips.
Ergowave® Shape: Defined Support, Targeted Relief
The characteristic Ergowave® stepped saddle shape promotes a defined riding position and distributes pressure specifically onto the sit bones. Combined with the correct saddle width, sensitive areas are relieved while power transfer to the pedals remains efficient. Additional relief is provided by the central recess, known as the Dip, and the lowered saddle nose. Both features help reduce pressure in sensitive areas. A mountain bike-specific padding supports damping and control on rough trails. Reinforced edges and a durable polyamide cover material increase robustness, making the saddle a reliable companion beyond paved roads.
active Technology: Movement for Greater Comfort
The proven SQlab active technology is naturally part of the 611 active 2.1 ltd. Escape . Through controlled lateral movement of the saddle, the pelvis can follow the body's natural pedaling motion. This creates a smoother pedal stroke and may help reduce strain on the lower back. The result is greater comfort, especially on long climbs and technical trails. SQlab supplies its active saddles with a medium elastomer as standard. This approach is intended to reduce overproduction, waste and unnecessary use of resources. For riders seeking a more personalized setup, white and black elastomers are available separately through the SQlab webshop and authorized dealers.
Designed for Trail & Down Country
The 611 active 2.1 ltd. Escape is specifically developed for trail and down-country riding. Through the SQlab saddle width system, the saddle is available in four widths, allowing riders to choose the model that matches their individual sit bone distance. Further ergonomic optimization is achieved through a 65% perineal relief concept, which helps reduce pressure in sensitive areas and can enhance comfort on longer rides.
