SQlab ERGOWAVE active saddles are to be used exclusively on bicycles under the conditions of category 5 according to ASTM F2043-13/
DIN EN 17406 or a lower category with a maximum system weight (rider + bicycle + luggage) of 120 kg.
Category 5 according to DIN EN 17406
Refers to bicycles and EPACs to which conditions 1, 2, 3 and 4 apply and which are used for extreme jumps or
descents on unpaved roads at speeds exceeding 40 km/h or for a combination thereof.

Category 5 according to ASTM F2043-13
This category of bicycles and add-on parts, in addition to the use conditions specified for categories 1, 2, 3 and
4, can also be used for extreme jumps and downhills in rough terrain at speeds in excess of 40 km/h.
On our website www.sq-lab.com in the service area under Downloads, you will find a list of all func tional ranges
according to ASTM F2043.
Bear in mind that category 5 is a dangerous extreme sport, which can lead to unexpectedly high and unforeseen material stress, even
with very good cycling skills and track knowledge. In extreme cases, this leads to overloading and component failure of the bicycle and
its parts, in particular the handlebars. The above-mentioned functional range is very risky. You must expect unavoidable falls, injuries
and paralysis or even death.
Category 6 according to DIN EN 17406
Refers to bicycles and EPACs to which condition 1 applies and which are used in competitions or for other
occasions at high speeds of more than 50 km/h, for example descents and sprints.

Warning
Each component has its load limit, which can be exceeded in the case of overload or
special manoeuvres. Note the following:
• Never exceed the permitted system and rider weight
• Use your saddle only in the intended use category, or a lower one (according to
ASTM F 2043-13/ DIN EN 17406).
• Make an extraordinary inspection after situations in which especial or unexpected
force has been exerted, such as after a fall, cycling error or an accident.
• In case of doubt, the potentially damaged component should be replaced pro-
phylactically. In such case, play it safe and ask your SQlab dealer for advice.
• For the protection of third parties, a component which is not immediately and obvi-
ously recognisable as being defective should be clearly marked as unusable.
