New Gear Release 2022!

After ATA how long does it take this stuff to come out? Or I’m assuming it varies?

Looks like presale starts next Tuesday for $100. I’m not interested in crowd funding saddle startups anymore. But looks like a cool idea for someone who wants one……. But why wouldn’t you just buy a scout…..

I thought this was cool and I respect the hustle. But I’ll pass at $100 with a tentative delivery date…..and $150 for future orders
This feels like when I’ve been shopping for my wife’s new car and the sticker is approachable but when I call they tell me it’s $16k over sticker?
I hoped a injection molded platform would come in around $50 or at least sub $75 to my door.
Already have a scout and option to climb with it
 
I'm guessing the CF platform will be coming in around the $230ish range based on what Ernie said?

That's less than a LWCG Ambush and about the same size so realistically while some will balk at the price, I think it will be a hot item for sure. Has more of a footprint like the mission which I like as well, give you a little more room to spread your feet apart.

I liked the larger real estate my predator XL offered, but it felt heavier than 4lbs while conversely, the regular predator felt lighter than 3lbs so I'm excited.

Yeah I expected a higher cost for sure.

That's just a guess, I hope they don't go higher than that, honestly, I don't think it would be worth it at that point. Even at
$230 you're probably at 260 with Tethrd's shipping rates and tax.

They haven’t even got their hands on one. They were asked what the weight rating is. They responded ”we wont know till the first batch comes in”

this presale is to fund the first batch…. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Wow. Again, why not a solo scout for $85.

I'm with you.

Don't get me wrong I love the innovation and people trying to bring new ideas and stuff to market, but to me, this looks like someone trying to fill a hole that doesn't really exist in the market currently, and at a premium price.

What did Earnie say to lead to that estimate? That seems like a real bargain in the world of Carbon Fiber. A simple Kuiu frame retails at $175.

I do like the footprint and some design choices. Would like to know more about the build.

It's definitely sexy, but needs to play nice. Will it?

Ernie mentioned nothing about price, that 230 is just somebody's wild guess at pricing, and I believe they stated as such when making that guess. Ernie said mid to late summer.

"A little more expensive than our regular predators"

I guess it all depends on Ernie's definition of "a little", but to me, $40-$60 is in the range of "a little more". Again, that's just my swag(silly wild a$$ guess)

We'll know when we know I guess hahaha.
