Anyone who rides a bike a lot knows that a firm, thinly padded saddle is much more comfortable than a soft, thick model for rides of around 30 minutes or more. The ergonomics experts at SQlab have applied this knowledge to their first own pad: the new SQ-Pad 12 is a maximum of 4 millimetres thick and initially feels exceptionally firm. With increasing mileage, it becomes more and more comfortable and adapts to the shape of the body. In addition, it is not pushed inwards by the sit bones, thus avoiding friction on the edges.

In contrast to the expectations of the inventor of the sit bone measurement and saddle width system, the seat cushion is only available in one width. This is designed for sit bone distances of up to 15.5 cm. However, the pad also adapts perfectly to narrower distances. The foam used in the SQ-Pad 12 has good cushioning properties thanks to its very high density, but remains extremely breathable thanks to a special foam bubble technology. The Bavarian bike clothing company Maloja will be the first to use the pad.
