SQlab Performance Line
If the form follows the function – it should be damn fast.
Only those who become one with the bike can win races through more comfort and less physical discomfort. The perfect fit is the prerequisite to convert power biomechanically optimizing propulsion. Avoiding and reducing wind resistance and inertia forces are the prerequisite for a racer’s maximum efficiency. Avoiding wind and shear forces, reducing wind resistance and inertia forces – as a racer, this is the prerequisite for maximum efficiency. The extra portion of advantages that ultimately decide between victory and defeat. Weight optimization dominate, cost, and effort are of secondary importance. The SQlab lineup includes the 612 Ergowave R Saddle, 411R Innerbarends, ONE12 So-Short, 711 R Grips, and 712 Handlebar Tape.
612 Ergowave R Saddle
Shorter – Narrower – Lighter – Faster
The raised rear gives more grip and better power transmission. A big advantage is on straight roads and especially uphill.
The stronger, narrower mid-section and the narrow saddle nose give more legroom.
The proven SQlab Ergowave form relieves the soft tissue area and prevents energy-consuming bad posture. The saddle shell is weight and flex optimized down to the last detail. The cover is extremely light but also abrasion-resistant and non-slip. The padding is closed-cell and strongly minimized.
The comfort comes from the shape and the flex behavior between rails – shell – foam, which is coordinated as an overall system.
It comes in 12cm, 13cm, and 14cm widths, and either S-Tube or Carbon rails.
411R Innerbarends
Comfortabel. Aerodynamic. Inside.
The natural hand position ensures muscle relaxation and improved biomechanics. Performance savings of approx. 5 % – that would be one place at an XC World Cup and many places at a marathon.
Thoughts on the 411 Innerbarends => The Innerbarends are wicked cool and highly functional, and the hand and arm relief and hand position alternatives they provide are much appreciated.
Material: Carbon
Weight: starting at 40 g
ONE12 So-Short
For Racer, who are sick of diapers!
The new SQ pads are only 4 mm thick and initially feel exceptionally firm and high-quality. The first riding impression with the SQ pads is very similar to that of the SQlab saddles. Initially a bit unusual, but with increasing mileage, it becomes more and more comfortable.
Unlike many thick and soft pads, the flat SQ-Pad 12 maintains its shape due to its firm design and does not become unpleasantly wedged in when pedaling.
Size: XS, S, M, L, XL, XL
Pad: ONE12, 4 mm thin
711 R Grips
Every Gram Count!
Based on the 7OX, all material was eliminated, which was not absolutely necessary. Material needed for a heavy wing is eliminated.
The second advantage is that the handle remains perfectly round in terms of driving dynamics. The slightly angular, flat shape on the underside saves material and provides a perfect fit. This ensures that the grip lies loosely and securely in the hand. This saves energy and prevents arm pumping.
Size: S, M, L, XL
Weight: 59 g
It comes in S, M, L, and XL sizes, and retail for $24.99
712 Handlebar Tape
Grip and Comfort
The 712 features a special rubber compound for a perfect grip. The knob structure in the middle of the handlebar tape increases damping and comfort. The three rows of knobs serve as a reference point for the handle size and winding thickness. As with the SQlab grips, the winding thickness can be determined using the handle width template.
Size: S, M, L
Dimensions: 2000 x 30 mm
