The saddle's wave-like shape and raised rear ensure perfect rearward support. Additional optimum pressure distribution down to the deep structures of the body significantly improves power transfer to the pedal. The lower nose, in combination with the recess in the middle, creates more space and clearance for the perineal area.

For even better pressure relief, especially on longer off-road climbs, the saddle nose on the 611 is around four millimetres wider than on the 612. However, it is just as flat and designed with the largest possible contact surface. The padding material has been adapted to the requirements of mountain biking and, compared to the 612 ERGOWAVE® models, has more cushioning on rough terrain. Thanks to SQlab's Active saddle technology, the saddle follows the pedalling movement, increasing comfort, mobilizing the intervertebral discs and minimizing pressure on the sit bones.

Advantages and disadvantages

The material, a hard-wearing microfiber with a suede look, is very special and not recommended for everyone. The advantages of the saddle cover are its light weight, support and, of course, its elegant appearance. The disadvantage of this cover is that it takes longer to dry, as the material is much more sensitive to dirt. In addition, this cover is not quite as durable as the conventional ones, which should be taken into consideration when purchasing.

The 611 S'Qantara is therefore certainly an SQlab saddle for connoisseurs.
