Prologo is bringing their wildly-aero Predator TT saddle to the masses with a new design that slashes its price by more than half, while also making it now fit almost all bikes. Plus, theyve added a 3rd saddle to their 3D-printed padding family with the Dimension 3D, featuring a more conventional cover potentially better suited to more riders, especially off-road. Prologo also expands its top-tier womens saddle line with the new Nago Eva. And theyve added more CPC grippy dots to new Octotouch 3D bar tape, not just to their new aero MIG Air gloves.Aero Prologo Predator//02 saddle gets normal rails for TT & Tri(All photos/Cory Benson)Since we first wrote about Pogaars Predator saddle in 2024s Tour time trial, its official 01 debut the following spring, then Vingegaards grippier saddle for the 2025 Tour TT saddle, it was still an ultra-proprietary, out-of-reach design requiring a special seatpost and costing more than 1200. Now, Prologo makes it much more universal as Predator//02 with replaceable oval carbon rails. And most importantly, a 680 price cut.Look, the new Predator 2 is still shockingly expensive at 570 for a stock saddle. But if you want the most aero perch for your time trial or triathlon bike, this looks to be your chance to ride the same saddle as Grand Tour winners.Whats new?The Predator saddle shape is exactly the same from its long, thin padded top to the underlying carbon shell with its aerodynamic extended tail. But in fact, the new version moves to an injected long-fiber carbon base (instead of hand-laid fiber) that manages to cut costs without adding much weight.Underneath, Prologo has swapped out the flat carbon plate for a modular replaceable 7x9mm oval Nack carbon rail system. That means it will fit any saddle compatible with oval rails. The new saddle comes in two versions, both sharing the same 260x110mm overall dimensions:Predator//02TT with thinner padding towards the back and a narrow 50mm wide nose 159gPredator//02TRI with tall padding from front to back, and a wider, more cushioned 60mm nose 169gPrologo Dimension R2 3D flat saddle for road, gravel & XCPlus, Prologo added a 3rd saddle to their 3D-printed padding family with the Dimension 3D. It features a more conventional cover, potentially better suited to a wider range of cyclists, especially off-road riders. The flat V-shaped saddle includes the same wider 40mm nose of the other 2nd-gen Dimension saddles, a large PAS central pressure relief cutout, and now variable-density Multi Sector System 3D-printed padding for more rider comfort.This shape was specifically optimized to be used across all performance cycling disciplines, which is why Prologo reimagined how to give it a new type of 3D-printed padding top with an integrated coverInstead of sticking with the same completely open honeycomb grid, the Dimension R2 3D features a mostly-closed cover developed to keep more dirt, mud & grit out of the structure. While open padding can usually be cleaned by flushing grime & debris out, grit like sand can stick inside.The new Dimension R2 3D comes in just one size 245mm long x 143mm wide and features a long-fiber carbon-reinforced nylon shell. It is available with either oval 79.3mm Nack carbon rails at 195g, or conventional 7mm round tubular steel TIROX rails at ~228g.Like the Scratch 3D & Nago 3D, the new Dimension 3D should sell for approximately 290 with steel rails or 390 with carbon rails a significant pricing premium compared to the conventionally-padded Dimension saddles.Nago EVA high-performance womens saddlePrologo also expands its top-tier womens saddle line with the new Nago Eva. It joins the Dimension Eva & Scratch Eva to combine Prologos classic saddle shapes tweaked for top-level female riders.The hallmark of the Nago Eva saddle is a hidden pressure relief cutout in the shell, covered by a very low-density foam in the central section to limit any pressure on sensitive tissue. Padding on the sides under the sit bones is thicker and much higher density to offer stable support.Like the other two Eva saddles, the new Nago Eva is available with either oval Nack carbon rails for 229 or steel rails for 129.Octotouch 3D grippy bar tapePrologo also adds a new injection-molded Octotouch 3D bar tape, with their signature grippy dots for better comfort and control, especially in foul weather or over rough terrain.The outer surface of the bartape is a thin, rubbery elastomer with raised CPC-style nodules molded in, backed by a thin EVA foam for cushioning. The concept is pretty much the same as Prologos previous Onetouch 3D bartape, but here the little dots are a larger diameter, with slits cut across them so they deform more under your hand. The cut present on each of the conical structures increases breathability and the feeling of softness on the palm of the hand, while at the same time allowing moisture to easily escape... Moreover, this technology manages to transform vibrations coming from the ground into a delicate micromassage that relieves the cyclists hands, wrists, and arms, increasing stamina levels in the body.Officially, the new 55 Octotouch 3D tape is the same 3.5mm overall thickness as the Onetouch, apparently including the height of the grippers. But it seems like the new tape features a thinner base and the nubbins are a bit taller, making the new tape feel thinner overall. It also makes this new tape lighter 118g for the full 2m long x 30mm wide roll (enough to wrap both sides of your bar), a savings of almost 10% over the Onetouch 3D tape. MIG Air CPC aero, grippy half-finger cycling glovesWe already wrote about the aero benefits of the new MIG Air gloves. But their tiny CPC grippers are worth a closer look. Those same tubular Connect Power Control nubs are smaller than ever in these new aero gloves, composed of a variety of sizes and spacing concentric around the center of your palm to improve grip on the bars while damping vibrations.While Im not personally a regular user of half-finger gloves for riding dropbars and Im unlikely to be spotted riding a Predator saddle, I really am curious to give these MIG Air CPC gloves a try.Prologo.itThe post Prologo Predator TT Saddle Goes Mainstream; New Dimension 3D, Nago Eva, CPC Tape, More appeared first on Bikerumor.
