SQlab 6OX Infinergy® ERGOWAVE® Active 2.1

The very first Made in Germany saddle: 6OX Infinergy® Ergowave® active

The 6OX ERGOWAVE® active saddle has been around for quite some time now, but not in this version: Made in Germany. The special thing about the 6OX Infinergy® ERGOWAVE® active Made in Germany is the foam of the saddle, which is no longer made of classic PU foam, but of the BASF Infinergy® material known from running shoes. This material is very robust and brings comfort to a whole new level, especially in off-road conditions, due to its quicker recovery. The cover is not pulled over the entire surface of the saddle as in classic saddles. There are only „tapes“ in the important places. These are automatically attached to the Infinergy® foam without any glue. The production technology was developed very successfully by well-known automotive supplier Oechsler in Ansbach/ Germany, for a large sports goods manufacturer a few years ago. SQlab and Oechsler then jointly optimized this process for saddles.

The 6OX is the optimal saddle for long and steep climbs on the EMTB while providing optimal relief, even on bikes without an engine. This means that the rider no longer has to take power-consuming protective positions, so all the energy is available for propulsion.

Winner

"The 6OX Infinergy® ERGOWAVE® active saddle is SQlab’s first 100% German-made saddle. It promises a comfortable ride and makes use of eco-friendly materials. The foam is made of the popular BASF Infinergy® material which is very robust and brings the comfort to a completely new level, especially off-road due to the faster reset."

The perfect fit for women and men 

It‘s not a secret anymore: a saddle must fit like a pair of shoes! Because if a saddle is too narrow, the pressure is applied in spots where it shouldn’t. In 2002 SQlab was the first saddle manufacturer to invent a system to measure the distance between the sit bones and calculate the optimal saddle width. All SQlab saddle models are now available in up to four different widths. This guarantees that the sit bones lie flat on the saddle. This is the only way to relieve the sensitive perineal area in men and the usually deeper positioned pubic arch in women. The 6OX Infinergy®
 
Back-friendly

The SQlab active function, which allows the saddle to easily follow the pedaling motion, becomes softer and smoother. The lateral movement, which increases comfort and is easy on the intervertebral discs, was one of the functions that led to many test victories for SQlab saddles in recent years. The strength of this damping can be adjusted from very soft to almost blocked and adapted to the body weight using the three elastomers included in the scope of delivery. The shell consists of a new plastic/carbon fiber mix and enables the active function via the material flex.

Pressure distribution according to medical aspects

The SQlab Step Saddle shape, which has been tried and tested for twenty years and improved again and again in detail, ensures pressure distribution according to medical aspects - away from the perineal area and towards the sit bones. The saddle nose, which is lower in level, ensures a better pressure distribution at the sit bones and at the ischial branches and therefore presses less strongly on the sensitive structures of the perineal area. For men and women alike. The dip in the middle of the saddle is sufficient to ensure
excellent blood and nerve supply.
 
Perfect shape for technical MTB

The SQlab saddle shape with the raised seating surface is already perfect for uphill riding and brings more power to the pedal even on straight routes. The BASF Infinergy® tapes also provide additional grip for the most challenging situations.

Quality and comfort

The special feature is the foam of the saddle, which is no longer made of classic PU foam but of the BASF Infinergy® material known from running shoes. This material is very robust, almost indestructible and brings the comfort to a whole new level, especially in off-road use, due to the faster recovery. The cover is not pulled over the entire surface of the saddle as in classic saddles. There are only "grip tapes" in the critical places. (BASF and Infinergy® are registered trademarks of BASF)
