 Our Carbon Fiber Insoles are Here!
Predator Cycling
is excited to announce that we are ready to take orders for our new carbon fiber insoles! Our insoles are perfect for large and/or powerful riders looking to add stiffness to their shoes—or for any rider seeking a more precise fit. Manufactured using monocoque (one-piece) technology, our carbon insoles are built with reinforced high-modulus carbon fiber, and weigh just 30 to 40 grams depending on size. Predator Insoles have also shown modest increases in power for certain riders on our ergometer. This stands to reason—the more comfortable you are on the bike, the more power you can generate.
Each pair of insoles are bullt completely custom for the rider. We've consulted with some of the nations leading podiatrists and learned the secrets of making a perfect foot casting (HINT: It isn't by using a foam box, despite what other companies may tell you). To set up your apppointment for your custom casting, call us at (310) 829-6464. We are also offering a 10-year "No Questions Asked" warranty against breakage and defects on the first ten sets that we sell.

Almost Ready for Primetime: The Predator Ergo-Bike
After months of development, the finish line is in sight for our Predator Ergo-bike project. This project began as a off-the-cuff conversation with nationally renowned racer and cycling coach Adam Duvendeck of the Momentum Coaching Group
. Frustrated with the pricing and (lack of) availability with other ergo bikes on the market, Adam was looking for another option. His criteria specified that it needed to be properly engineered, well-built and cost-effective. We're happy to say that based on those criteria, we've nailed it.
The first production run will begin in December, with customer deliveries starting in mid-December. Retail pricing has not been finalized for the production version, but we anticipate a figure right around $1,995 (compare that with other companies charging thousands more!).
This will be a high-quality, low-volume product. To make sure that you get your Predator Ergo-Bike in a timely manner, call (310) 829-6464 now to get on the waiting list .

Predator Aero Bars: Unbelievably Light, Customizable and Beautiful
Many of you probably saw our Aerobar blog post earlier this year. It started off as a side-project; to build a few sets for our team guys to race on the track. But after witnessing the finished result, we realized that we'd be crazy not to put it into prodution.
There are a lot of aerobars on the market, what makes Predator's Aero Bars so different? Glad you asked! For starters, Predator's aerobars are 30% lighter than ANY other aerobar on the market, weighing in at 430g (We knew that we hit a nerve when the major aerobar companies started calling us, asking how we did it!). And they're not just light—they're strong too! Our aerobars have spent hundreds of hours under some of the burliest real world road testing and track testing, and have passed our stringent lab durability tests with flying colors!
Available in January, Predator will offer two versions of the bars:
- A fully-custom setup enabling the rider to setup the pads and extensions based on their measurements (requires a custom fit and a visit to or our studio).
- A production version available in 2 popular widths and 3 extension styles.
Predator aero bars are perfect for triathlon, time-trial or track athletes looking to improve their performance while dropping the weight of their machine. BONUS: they're also stiffer than *@&! and track start approved!
You can place an order for the production version right now on Predator's new online store, or call us at (310) 829-6464 to schedule a fit for the full-custom version in January.
