High-quality - Minimalist - Simple: the SQ-Short ONE12R from SQlab.
Thanks to their tight design, the SQ pads keep their shape. As a result, they are not pushed uncomfortably inwards during pedalling, as is the case with many high, soft pads. In addition, the SQ pad 12R is adapted for the very sporty sitting position on the road bike, in which the pelvis rotates strongly forward, and positioned in the SQ short.
The Ultrasonsic welded seams ensure a high wearing comfort and are particularly flexible. Due to the welded seams, friction points and skin irritations can be avoided. The flexible, breathable straps provide consistent tension with optimal support and stretch.
Features - SQ-Short ONE12R
- Flexible mesh insert for improved breathability
- Ultrasonic welded seams durable and flexible
- Compression fabric
- Lasered leg cuffs
- Universal fit for any seat bone distance
- Range of use: road bike & MTB racing
SQ-Pad 12 R
Hard & Thin
The SQ-Pad 12 R has an adapted shape for the very sporty sitting position on the road bike, in which the pelvis rotates strongly forwards. The pad, which is only a maximum of 4 mm thick, initially feels exceptionally firm and of high quality. The very thin pad becomes more and more comfortable with increasing mileage and adapts wonderfully to the body shape.
Adaptable & Comfortable
The SQ pads are universally suitable for any seat bone distance. The slight extra width ensures that even during the pedaling movement the sit bones rest snugly on the pad and do not push inwards. Conclusion: A saddle that is too wide can lead to problems - a padded saddle does not.
Why is the SQlab pad hard and thin?
Myth soft saddle: Seat bones serve to absorb the body weight and can withstand high pressure. A bike saddle that is too soft causes the sit bones to sink in. This irritates sensitive tissue, as well as muscle and tendon attachments. This means that deeply sinking seat bones lead to a higher strain on the perineal area of the man and the lower pubic arch of the woman.
But exactly here the question arises, why do we ride tight saddles in order to simulate a soft saddle by thick and super-soft cycling shorts pads?
Because the result is the same: Sinking sit bones, restricted blood flow and increased friction.
Why haven't firm pads been around longer?
Because high-quality foams with better damping properties have a higher density and therefore lose breathability. Using a patented process, we have managed to break up the structures of the very dense foam. The result is a high breathability, comparable to conventional pads or even better. The perfect cushioning remains fully intact.
