PREDATOR 01TT is the new time trial and triathlon saddle patented by Prologo and developed in collaboration with top WorldTour teams and their performance and aerodynamics specialists. A revolutionary integrated saddle, developed with professionals and wind-tunnel tested to be the fastest and lightest ever.

From the outset, the PREDATOR 01TT project stood out for its close collaboration with the world’s top teams — Ineos Grenadiers, UAE Team Emirates, and Visma | Lease a Bike —, the best tri and IRONMAN athletes, and for the invaluable feedback received from leading aerodynamics experts.

After an initial prototype accompanied Tadej Pogačar to victory at the 2024 Tour de France, the final version has already been raced in the early part of the 2025 season by the champions of Visma | Lease a Bike, with whom Prologo is an Innovation Technical Partner. The saddle quickly starred in major victories, including the individual time trial at the Volta ao Algarve, won by Jonas Vingegaard in late February, and the team time trial at Paris-Nice, won by the Dane and his teammates in mid-March.

To further optimize aerodynamics, the shape of the PREDATOR 01TT was initially developed using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software and later refined through wind tunnel testing, analyzing the interaction between the saddle, the bike, and the rider.

The sleek side wings on the base conceal and shield the rails and seatpost clamp from airflow, while the rear section—more prominent and tapered than the previous version—channels "dirty" air coming from the rider's back in a parallel flow with the road, reducing drag.

Despite its ultra-compact V-shape (260x110 mm), the padded section is only 170 mm long, making its performance even more impressive.

On the surface of the PREDATOR 01TT CPC, the distinctive nanostructure of the Connect Power Control technology is clearly visible. This patented system, introduced by Prologo to cycling but also used in military and Formula 1 applications, delivers top-tier performance and comfort through vibration absorption, grip, and positional stability.

Thanks to its unique 3D hollow conical polymer nanostructure, CPC reduces muscle fatigue, improves airflow, and lowers skin temperature in the contact zone. Strategically placed, CPC also protects muscles, tendons, and soft tissue from road vibrations, ensuring consistent performance in all weather conditions.

The saddle's ergonomic shape – just 110 mm wide – supports maximum pelvic rotation, helping riders achieve and maintain an extremely aerodynamic position for longer.

The seating surface features enhanced EVA padding to provide top-level support, while the wide PAS central channel running the full length of the contact area reduces pressure peaks on soft tissues for improved comfort. The saddle nose, 50 mm wide, offers a generous contact surface, enabling the rider to generate full power even in the forward-most riding position.

The revolutionary carbon rail is actually a fully integrated plate, featuring a much wider and flatter surface than traditional round or oval-section rails. This patented innovation ensures maximum power transfer, improves handling, and enhances the connection between seatpost and rider throughout every pedal stroke – allowing the athlete to feel even the smallest feedback from the frame.

The PREDATOR 01TT is also modular and designed with sustainability in mind. The integrated plate and base are intentionally engineered to be separable, allowing for easier replacement, repair, and recycling of components at the end of the product's lifecycle.
