SQ Lab 612 R Ergowave Carbon Saddle

SQ Lab 612 Ergowave R Carbon Saddle

»The 612 Ergowave R is the shorter race version of the successful 612 model. The pressure-relieving SQlab Ergowave concept is convincing, as is the extremely low weight. Also top: the wide range of width options available across all SQlab saddle models.«

The SQlab 612 Ergowave R Carbon saddle is designed for performance-oriented road cyclists and mountain bikers seeking a lightweight, ergonomic solution for improved power transfer to the pedals and more comfort. Weighing just 125 grams (at 12 cm saddle width), this saddle features an elevated rear for better grip and more efficient power transfer, particularly advantageous on flat terrain and when climbing. 

Compared to the 612 ERGOWAVE®, the narrower waist provides more legroom, while the lower saddle nose, combined with the distinctive ERGOWAVE® design, optimally relieves sensitive structures. The forward-drawn dip reduces pressure in the perineal area and supports a power-saving, ergonomically favorable seating position.

SQlab 612 Ergowave R Carbon saddle Key Features:

• Weighs only 125 grams (at size 12 cm), making it one of the lightest performance saddles on the market
• ERGOWAVE® design for soft tissue relief and improved posture
• Carbon-fiber-reinforced saddle shell for increased longitudinal stiffness and horizontal flex
• Lightweight, abrasion-resistant, and slip-resistant cover with minimized foamed padding

Raised Rear

The elevated rear section of the 612 R ERGOWAVE® provides added support for the sit bones and helps stabilize your position on the saddle. This allows for more efficient power transfer, especially during high-intensity efforts, climbs, and when riding in an aggressive, forward-leaning posture. It keeps you in the optimal position – so every watt counts.

Race Shape
 

A narrower mid-section and streamlined saddle nose reduce friction and offer maximum leg clearance – ideal for an efficient pedal stroke in aggressive, aerodynamic riding positions. Perfectly tailored for road racing.

Lightweight Performance
 

Starting at just 125 g, the 612 R is built for speed. Carbon rails and a flex-optimized shell reduce weight while maintaining comfort and lateral compliance. The ultra-light cover is grippy and abrasion-resistant, and the minimal, closed-cell padding keeps everything streamlined without sacrificing support.

 

Extended Dip

The extended dip in the center of the saddle is designed for an aggressive riding posture, reducing pressure on sensitive perineal structures during long efforts in the drops.

Perfect fit
 

Maximum efficiency starts with a saddle that matches your anatomy. That’s why the 612 R is available in four widths – 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 cm – for a precise fit and optimal pressure distribution.
