SQLab 612 Ergowave Active 2.2 Saddle – Ergonomic Road Saddle with Pressure Relief
Designed just for roadies, the SQLab 612 Ergowave Active 2.2 is an ergonomic road saddle that combines targeted pressure relief with subtle lateral flex for unmatched comfort and power efficiency.
Why Choose the SQLab 612 Ergowave Active 2.2 Saddle?
When you're spending long days in the saddle, you don't just need a saddle that offers endurance; you need one that gives you support and pressure relief in all the right places. The SQLab 612 Active 2.2 road saddle is purpose-built for cyclists who want maximum comfort, efficient power transfer and long-distance reliability without compromising performance.
At the core of the 612’s design is SQLab’s proven Ergowave shape. This wave-like contour features a raised rear that supports your sit bones while promoting a strong, forward-leaning riding position. The lowered saddle nose and central relief channel reduce pressure on the perineum and soft tissue (i.e. your squishy bits), helping maintain blood flow and prevent numbness on long road rides.
What truly sets the 612 Ergowave Active 2.2 apart is SQLab’s Active Technology, a controlled flex system that allows the saddle to follow natural pelvic movement. This improves pedalling efficiency, reduces stress on the lower back and intervertebral discs, and supports a healthier riding posture over sustained efforts.
Tailored specifically for road cycling, the saddle’s slim profile, firm Superlight foam padding and multiple width options make it a precision-fit upgrade for riders experiencing pressure, discomfort or numbness. Whether you’re racing, training or chasing long-distance personal goals, this pressure relief saddle for road cycling is engineered to help you ride further, faster, and in comfort.
What’s New in the 2.2 Version?
The SQLab 612 Ergowave Active 2.2 is a refined version of the previous 2.1 saddle. While the overall Ergowave shape, Active Technology and sizing options remain the same, the 2.2 introduces several subtle upgrades:
- Material & Durability: Updated PA12 + glass fibre base and Superlight Microfibre cover for improved long-term durability and shape retention.
- Surface Finish: Cleaner, more refined finish for a premium look and feel.
- Updated Standards: Torque, weight and e-bike compatibility specs have been aligned with current ISO testing protocols and seatpost clamp standards.
- Consistency: Slight refinements in foam compression ensure long-term comfort and pressure relief over extended rides.
These updates deliver the same proven ergonomic performance with enhanced durability and modern compliance.

FAQs
-
Q: Is the SQLab 612 Ergowave Active 2.2 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. You can technically run it on any bike, but for off-road or upright riding we recommend exploring SQLab’s other saddle models. -
Q: How do I know if I need an Active SQLab saddle?
A: Active Technology is ideal for riders who experience uneven sit bone pressure, lower back tightness, spinal discomfort or reduced mobility. That said, even riders without these issues often choose Active saddles for their comfort and natural pedalling feel. -
Q: Will the Active Technology affect saddle stability?
A: No. The Active system provides controlled lateral movement that supports your natural motion without reducing stability or power transfer. -
Q: How do I choose the correct size SQLab saddle?
A: SQLab saddle sizing is based on two factors: your sit bone width and 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, adjust based on how upright you ride:
| 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 proper weight distribution and helps avoid pressure, numbness and discomfort.
