Two winter worlds, two saddles: SQlab combines sportiness and comfort
Ideal companions through the holiday season – for indoor training and everyday riding outdoors
16.12.2025Whether it’s indoor training or daily rides through winter conditions, SQlab offers two saddles perfectly tuned to the different demands of the cold season: the 612 ERGOWAVE® active 2.1 for intensive indoor sessions and the 602 ERGOLUX® active 2.1 for comfortable everyday and commuting rides outdoors. While efficient positioning is key indoors due to the more static posture on the trainer, stability, comfort, and a relaxed riding position matter most outside. Together, these two models cover the typical winter riding scenarios – and also make thoughtful gifts under the Christmas tree.
Sporty winter focus: the 612 ERGOWAVE® active 2.1
The 612 ERGOWAVE® active 2.1 is designed for road and mountain bike riders who prefer a forward-leaning, powerful riding position. Its wave-shaped ERGOWAVE® profile and pronounced raised rear support a stable pelvic position and efficient power transfer – a clear advantage during intensive indoor sessions and structured winter training. The lowered nose and central relief channel create more freedom in the front area and support a sporty position without pressure peaks – suitable for both women and men. Thanks to SQlab’s active system, the natural movement of the pelvis is maintained. This results in a dynamic pedaling motion and can reduce strain on the lower back. On the trainer, where the body has less freedom to move, this added mobility contributes to a more comfortable riding experience. Lightweight yet highly shape-stable, the 612 is aimed at ambitious riders who don’t want to compromise on performance, indoors or out.
Comfort-focused mobility: the 602 ERGOLUX® active 2.1
For commuting and longer everyday rides outdoors, the 602 ERGOLUX® active 2.1 is the right choice. Its generous, two-step ERGOLUX® contour provides a wide, even contact area and a calm, comfortable seating feel – ideal for upright to moderately forward-leaning riding positions. Especially in everyday use, where many riders are on the bike without dedicated cycling apparel, the stepped shape delivers noticeable comfort.
The two-step design offers a stable seating surface at the rear, while the lower saddle nose at the front provides additional relief. This helps distribute pressure more evenly and keeps everyday riding comfortable. The active system can be adjusted in two stages, with the switch lever allowing for quick and easy setup. Outdoors, the subtle lateral movement follows the natural riding motion and supports a pleasant seating feel on longer routes. The saddle is complemented by integrated threaded mounts for the SQlab saddle bag with Fidlock® adapter.
A strong duo for the cold season
Together, these two models form a well-balanced package for winter’s varied demands: sporty efficiency indoors, comfortable mobility outdoors. The 612 shows its strengths not only on the trainer but also performs reliably outside, while the 602 is specifically designed for everyday routes and longer outdoor rides. With the 612 ERGOWAVE® active 2.1 and the 602 ERGOLUX® active 2.1, SQlab delivers ergonomic solutions that support riders throughout the entire season – whether the focus is on building performance or relaxed commuting.
