Predator Simulates with the help of Ansys

Our RF20 road frame was the brainchild of Aram Goganian, but couldn’t fully come to life without the technological assistance of advanced simulation. Ansys Startup Program has opened the doors for a larger mechanical design engineering conversation within the cycling industry.

“We started using Ansys simulation and it was a huge game changer because we could actually simulate so many things before we went to prototyping,” he says. “We saved at least seven or eight months of additional R&D by being able to simulate so much earlier on in the design process.”- Aram Goganian

About

Predator Cycling was founded in 2005 by Aram Goganian in Santa Monica, California and began as a local high-end custom aluminum frame builder and Bikefit Studio. Known for geometry-driven design, Aram led the transition of Predator into an eCommerce and boutique custom carbon fiber and composite manufacturing enterprise debuting the first one-piece composite bar/stem in the industry known as “The Major.” Today Predator is located in Mt. Juliet, TN where it continues to reimagine design philosophies with the incorporation of alternative material fusion with composite fibers, lead cycling technologies with advanced simulation, and leveraging partnerships that will introduce custom cycling products into the AR/VR Metaverse.

Warming up for track-sprint competitions is a highly-specific and focused process. We typically don't get track time on the day of comNow This is an Ergo!petition during international events, i.e., world cups and world championships. The Predator ErgoBike is THE critical piece of equipment that allows us to maximize athlete activation before competition. Our team will not travel without it!Additionally, our fleet of Predator ErgoBikes allows us to structure our sprint-specific training in productive and cost-effective ways. The ergometer gives us a variety of workouts that are similar to the track, thus providing us a means of reducing track-time costs and wear and tear on equipment. I cannot recommend this ergometer enough! It's a game changer!

I came to Aram 6 weeks before the 2016 Olympics looking for some highly specific, custom equipment to fit the precise demands of my events in Rio. Through a combination of reinforcing pre-existing bars, wrapping in a stem and manufacturing completely new drops he came up with one of the most incredible handlebars I've ever seen. They are a show-stopper everywhere they go. See for yourself. This guy can make anything happen.

I have to admit that the Major’s are the best handlebars that I have ever got my hands on. They are really stiff which makes it easier to sprint and go through corners at a really high speed. Not only are they stiff but they are some of the coolest looking bars out. My Major’s are stiff, good looking, and fast just how I like it.
