When the Eclat team get together for a trip, you know it’s going to be a good one. The crew recently made their way to Athens, Greece to put the endless spots to proper use! Hit play to check out banger after banger!

“It may be famed for being one of the oldest cities in the world, dating back 7000 years, but Athens, Greece isn’t just dusty cobbles and philosophers in sandals. We sent DIG video guy Peter Adam off with Eclat’s Bruno Hoffmann, Lewis Mills, Alex Kennedy and Jordan OKane meeting up with locals, including Eclat teammate Jason Eustathiou, to sample the city’s best spots. Needless to say with this crew things got heated, fast. Sit back and enjoy 9 minutes of high grade from some of the best to grace a bike.” – DIG

Eclat BMX – Bruno Hoffmann Predator Tire Promo

Leave a Comment

Watch Bruno Hoffmann put his signature Predator tire from Eclat to good use!

The Bruno Hoffmann signature Predator tire from Eclat has been available for a few years now, and it’s standing the test of time! Here’s a short but sweet promo featuring Bruno putting the tires to good use out in the streets. Get a look at the riding and a look at the tire!

“When Bruno Hoffmann came to us with an idea for a tire, we knew this was going to be one tough set of rubber built for the streets.

The ‘Predator Tire’ was built from Bruno’s need for a super tough, dependable tire that not only gripped like nothing else but was also strong enough on the sidewalls to last heavy flat ledge sessions and resist the trauma that his blend of technical and burly riding can cause to a tire.

Constructed using the finest quality materials possible, the Predator Tire will be available in Bruno’s preferred size of 2.30” (58mm), which is what he considers “the perfect size” for street riding.

Available now worldwide.” – Eclat
