SQLab 614 Ergowave Active 2.1 Saddle - Comfort-Driven Performance for Gravel and Adventure Riders
The SQLab 614 Ergowave Active 2.1 saddle is a performance gravel saddle engineered for comfort, support and efficiency on long, rough rides. Combining the best features of SQLab’s road and MTB designs, this saddle delivers ergonomic relief and back-friendly flexibility wherever the trail takes you.
🚴 Why Choose the SQLab 614 Ergowave Active 2.1 Saddle?
Gravel riders are a particular bunch, seeking long distances, fast segments, and the occasional unplanned detour through creek crossings. (RIP your BB bearings.) Whatever the terrain, your saddle shouldn’t be the part of the ride you remember for all the wrong reasons. Enter the SQLab 614 Ergowave Active 2.1 Saddle: a purpose-built gravel saddle that blends comfort and power transfer in one smart, slimline package.
Combining the lightweight shape of SQLab’s 612 road model with the generous padding of the 611 MTB saddle, the 614 is designed specifically for off-road efficiency and long-distance comfort. Its distinctive Ergowave shape—with a raised rear as well as a pressure-relieving centre dip—offers optimal sit bone support while protecting the sensitive perineal region (that’s your squishy bits). The lowered nose adds to the pressure relief, especially when you’re in the drops or climbing punchy fire trails.
Where this saddle really stands out, however, is its Active Technology system. By allowing the saddle shell to flex laterally with your natural pedalling motion, the 614 helps reduce pressure on your sit bones, promote a healthy posture, and gently mobilise your spinal discs. It’s adjustable via interchangeable elastomers, so you can fine-tune the flex to your specific needs.
Tough enough for long adventures and comfortable enough for day-after-day riding, the 614 Ergowave Active 2.1 is finished with superlight materials and reinforced with Kevlar in all the right places. This is the premium choice for gravel racers, bikepackers and riders who like to go long.
Features
- Gravel-Specific Design: Blends the slim profile of a road saddle with the added cushioning of MTB models for all-surface versatility and long-haul comfort
- Ergowave Shape: The wave-like profile and raised rear support efficient pedalling and optimal pressure distribution, improving power delivery while reducing fatigue
- Perineal Relief: A lowered nose and central dip reduce pressure on soft tissue areas, improving comfort and blood flow
- Active Technology: Flexes laterally with your pedalling motion to reduce pressure on the spine and support healthy movement
- Perfect Fit: Available in multiple widths to match your sit bone measurements and riding position, ensuring full support and proper weight distribution
- Built For Adventure: Kevlar reinforcement on exposed sections protects against abrasion, while superlight foam and microfibre materials keep the weight low and durability high
Pro Bike Mechanic’s Tip
Gravel bikes often have a slightly more upright setup than road bikes. If in doubt, size up for better support.

FAQs
Q: Is the SQLab 614 Ergowave Active 2.1 good for bikepacking?
A: Absolutely! Its ergonomic shape, Active Technology flex, and durable materials make it an excellent choice for long-distance gravel rides and multi-day bikepacking trips.
Q: Can I use the SQLab 614 Ergowave Active 2.1 Saddle on a mountain bike?
A: While this model is specifically designed for gravel riding, you can definitely use it on a mountain bike. As it has a narrower nose than the 612, it can be the better choice if you’ve ever had leg rub issues.
Q: Can I use the 614 Ergowave Active 2.1 on an e-gravel bike?
A: Yes! The SQLab 614 Ergowave Active 2.1 is e-bike compatible and an excellent choice for electric gravel and adventure bikes, offering extra comfort for longer distances.
Q: How do I know what size of SQLab saddle I need?
A: SQLab bases saddle sizing on two factors: 1) your sit bone width and 2) your riding position.
First, measure your sit bones using a simple at-home method—just a piece of corrugated cardboard and a hard surface. This quick video shows you how: Watch here
.
Once you have your sit bone measurement, add the correct margin based on how upright your riding position is:
Riding Position | Description | Adjustment |
---|---|---|
Aggressive | Very low, stretched-out road position | Sit bone width = saddle size |
Moderate | Slightly upright, endurance/all-road position | Sit bone width + 1 cm |
Upright | Relaxed, trekking or city-style riding position | Sit bone width + 2–3 cm |
The more upright you ride, the wider your saddle needs to be, because your sit bones rotate outward as your upper body becomes more vertical. Choosing the correct width ensures your weight is properly supported and helps avoid numbness and pressure issues.
