Tethrd Predator CFX

[Zero One Actual]

Not me… avoided those latitude sticks this one shouldn’t be hard.

It should be soft and flaccid. Like a carbon fiber proprietary blend.

So… only the Predator CFX XL is being released tomorrow. The regular size one won’t be ready till 2024

 

[Chrighton]

That was my understanding. A already filled in for you @enkriss and bit the bullet. What the hell... I can always sell it later after they're sold out.

So we’ve got the dimensions, but there’s no listed weight for “the lightest, fully featured, mobile saddle platform that raises the bar for what's possible in the mobile hunting gear.”

That has to be intentional, right? Even if the write up presents as rushed. (Tethrd should pay a legit editor.)

I know this is just an optical illusion but maybe this was a poor choice of pictures:

The Tetra CF2 trade mark application was filed by Vision Composite Products LLC (https://visioncomposite.com/solutions/)

color is not claimed as a feature of the mark. tetra cf two carbon fibers, other than for textile use; semi-processed resins the mark consists of the words of tetra cf with a superscript numeral 2 following the f.

I can’t tell that it was granted, nor what specifically it is, which is what I’m wondering. Any idea what this mystery matrix is @Samcirrus, chemically it sounds like PTFE, lol. The website is under construction, so details to come? It does say how they innovate:

Interesting that it has no weight spec when you go to the actual product, with all the effort that when into such a glowing description of said product.

“Carbon fiber forged” makes it sound like Thor is on the payroll

3.18 LBS

so

CFX = 3 lbs 3oz, 12x15.5x3

Razor Magnum = 3lbs 3oz, 11.25x15.75x1.5

I like the extra depth, but it looks like Forged CF isn’t offering a significant weight savings over aluminum. That’s kind of a bummer. I guess there’s the no metallic noises and alleged “warmth“ benefits to weigh against suspicion of CF and company history.

I’ll be watching, but not sure it’s enough.

 

[enkriss]

Predator XL - 13 × 16.25 × 3.25, 4lb
Carbon - 12 x 15.5 x 3, 3.18lb

Sooo…. The carbon one is 13% smaller in size and ~20% lighter…. Meh…

I’d like to see a video of a 250 lb guy with a 50lb pack camming over the platform, toe hooking it to secure it and then bouncing on it.

Can’t do all that but here’s a good size guy on it

In 240 and had no issues on the prototype. But again as I stated above, they bamboozled everyone on the final dimensions and weights to the point where as others have stated it isn't worth the money compared to platforms that are already available.

Or. The long game is to take the money from the Gen 1 CFX and make the Gen 2 better like they did with their sticks. The recalls will make the next gen improve significantly. Hahahaha.

09:12. Tethrd site is down. It has to be due to the release of the platform shutting down the internet. Totally not a behind the scenes marketing ploy to make it look like demand is crazy.

So I don't know if ill get in trouble with this post because of my vendor rep status( even though I have yet to receive a single dollar from Hunt Arsenal as my CF designs haven't been produced yet).
I am trying to answer these questions/concerns about the new forged CF and not attacking Tethrd.
The screenshots @Plebe posted are very interesting. Firstly: the company making the new cfx platform makes cf wheels....wheels mostly experience COMPRESSION stress and thats what forged CF is good for, not tensile or tension stress which is what a platform that cams over experiences....
