PREDATOR//01TT CPC
PREDATOR 01TT CPC is the new integrated time trial and triathlon saddle equipped with CPC - Connect Power Control, the innovative technology patented by Prologo for the cycling world. This revolutionary saddle, extremely light and aerodynamic, is the result of a close synergy with the Visma | Lease a Bike team, which has chosen Prologo as Innovation Technical Partner since the beginning of this season.
The valuable feedback received from riders, technicians, and performance managers of the Dutch WorldTeam allowed the Italian company to further develop an already cutting-edge saddle, designed starting from CFD simulation software and perfected in the wind tunnel by relating the saddle with the bicycle and the athlete himself. The marginal gains that this saddle can offer have been confirmed by specific tests in the velodrome under controlled conditions.
The advantages of Connect Power Control technology
The characteristic nanostructure of the Connect Power Control technology, patented and introduced by Prologo in the cycling world but already used in the military field and in Formula 1, is clearly visible on the cover of the PREDATOR 01TT CPC. This system guarantees very high performance and comfort through vibration absorption, grip, and position stability.
Thanks to its nanostructure, the special 3D conical and hollow polymer reduces muscle fatigue and facilitates airflow by lowering the temperature in the contact area. The CPC, moreover, positioned in strategic points, protects muscles, tendons, and soft tissues from the stresses deriving "from the road," ensuring its performance in every weather condition.
Aerodynamics and pure power
The sinuous side wings on the sides of the base hide and shield the rail and the seatpost clamp from the air, while the rear part, with such a pronounced and sharp shape, channels the dirty airflows coming from the cyclist's back parallel to the road, significantly reducing the drag coefficient.
The revolutionary carbon rail, a real plate perfectly integrated into the base, features a flat surface much wider than traditional round or oval section rails. An innovative and patented solution that guarantees maximum power transfer and improves handling and connection between the seatpost and the cyclist in all phases of the pedal stroke, allowing the athlete to perceive even the smallest sensation transmitted by the frame.
PREDATOR 01TT CPC is a modular saddle that combines technical innovation and attention to environmental impact. The integrated plate and base are indeed specially designed to be separated from each other. In this way, it is possible to replace, repair, and recycle the various parts of the saddle more easily at the end of the product's life cycle.
Unlimited comfort and lightness
The ergonomic shape of this V-shape saddle (260x110 mm) has been designed to facilitate maximum rotation of the athlete's pelvis, allowing them to assume and maintain an extremely aerodynamic position for longer. The seat of the PREDATOR 01TT CPC, 170 mm long, features a surface with enhanced EVA padding to provide maximum support.
The wide central PAS channel, which runs along the entire length of the support area, helps reduce pressure peaks on soft tissues, improving comfort. The 50 mm wide nose ensures a generous support surface that allows the athlete to unleash all their power on the pedals even when sitting on the tip of the saddle.
This saddle, so high-performing, comfortable, and aerodynamic, weighs only 145 grams, making it the lightest in its category.
