Why the right size is crucial at SQlab
An ergonomic product only works properly when it fits Your body and Your riding position. That is why choosing the right SQlab product starts with measurement: for saddles, Your sit bone distance matters; for grips, the right grip width; and for the cockpit, the position of Your hands, arms and upper body. This helps You find components that distribute pressure more effectively, support Your natural position and give You more comfort on longer rides.
The right saddle width is essential: when the sit bones are properly supported, pressure is distributed more precisely and sensitive areas are relieved. The basis for this is Your individual sit bone distance combined with the intended use, because this is the only way to determine the right saddle width. A saddle that is too narrow or too wide can lead to pressure points, numbness or an unstable seated position. A simple sit bone measurement helps to narrow down the choice significantly and noticeably improve comfort on the bike. Especially on longer tours or with a sporty riding style, the right saddle width makes a decisive difference. This makes SQlab particularly interesting for riders who want to make their bike not only lighter or sportier, but also noticeably more comfortable.
The right size also determines function and comfort when it comes to grips. If the grip is too small, You have to close Your hand more tightly - the muscles fatigue faster and pressure increases. If it is too large, You lose control because Your fingers cannot securely wrap around the grip. The right grip size depends on Your hand size. In combination with ergonomic shapes, the contact surface increases, pressure is distributed more evenly and Your hand position is stabilised. This relieves nerves and the heel of the hand and noticeably improves control on the bike.
