The "6OX ERGOWAVE" saddle has already been around for 2 years, but not in this version: made in Germany. The special feature of the version manufactured in Germany is the saddle's foam, which is no longer made from the PU foam often used, but from a plastic used in running shoes. This material comes from the chemical company BASF and, according to the saddle specialist, is very robust and provides a lot of comfort, especially off-road, thanks to its faster recovery.

The cover is not pulled over the entire surface of the saddle, as is the case with classic saddles. There are only so-called tapes at the important points. These are attached to the foam automatically and without adhesive. The production technology was developed by a German automotive supplier for a major sporting goods manufacturer a few years ago. SQlab and the supplier, Oechsler from Ansbach, then jointly optimized this process for saddles.

In addition to the change of production location and the use of new materials, the "6OX Ergowave active" is characterized by the familiar virtues: Four widths from 13 to 16 centimetres ensure a good fit and the stepped saddle shape guarantees optimum pressure distribution on the sit bones and pubic bones. The raised rear provides more support towards the back, and the so-called dip - a depression in the middle of the saddle - is there to reduce pressure in the perineal area. And the lowered saddle nose is responsible for further reducing pressure on sensitive areas.
