SQLab 612 Ergowave Active 2.1 Saddle – Performance Road Saddle with Ergonomic Flex
Designed for road riders, the SQLab 612 Ergowave Active 2.1 Saddle combines ergonomic pressure relief with subtle lateral flex for unmatched comfort and power efficiency.
🚴 Why Choose the SQLab 612 Ergowave Active 2.1 Saddle?
Long days in the saddle don’t just demand endurance – they also demand support and pressure relief in all the right places. The SQLab 612 Ergowave Active 2.1 Saddle is purpose-built for road cyclists who want to maximise comfort, efficiency and power without compromising on performance.
At the core of the 612’s design is SQLab’s famous Ergowave shape. This wave-like contour features a raised rear that does double-duty: it supports your sit bones while promoting an efficient, forward-leaning posture. The 612’s lowered saddle nose and central dip also alleviate pressure on the perineum and soft tissue areas, helping to maintain blood flow and nerve function over long distances.
What truly sets the 612 Ergowave Active 2.1 apart is its Active Technology, a subtle flex system that allows the saddle to follow your pelvic movement. This encourages a more natural pedalling motion, reduces pressure on your lower back and intervertebral discs, and supports a healthier riding posture overall.
Tailored specifically for road use, the saddle’s slim shape, firm padding and multiple size options make it a precision-fit upgrade for anyone dealing with numbness, pain or pressure problems. Whether you’re chasing a podium or your next personal best, this saddle is engineered to help you ride further, faster—and in comfort.

FAQs
Q: Is the SQLab 612 Ergowave Active 2.1 saddle only for road cycling?
A: The 612 is specifically designed for road bikes, where long rides, aggressive posture, and sustained power output demand precise support and pressure relief. Technically, however, you can run it on any bike you want. (Though we would recommend checking out SQLab's other models first.)
Q: How do I know if I need an Active SQLab saddle or a standard SQLab saddle?
A: The Active Technology is designed especially for riders who have experienced uneven sit bone pressure, back tightness, spinal problems, or lower body mobility issues. That being said, you can use an Active saddle even if you don’t have any of these conditions – it’s incredibly comfortable.
Q: Will the Active Technology affect saddle stability?
A: Not at all. The Active system provides a controlled lateral flex that supports your natural movement without compromising power transfer or stability.
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.
