CORE VALUES
The brand name is derived from answering the question:
"How much effort do you give? 100%."
This unique high performance attitude of the American brand is evident across all its brand categories from its MTB clothing, sunglasses, gloves to a host of other protective equipment: if you give less than your best, you'll regret it. To make sure it doesn't come to that, the developers have given 100% to produce the highest quality and most robust helmets, glasses, gloves, jerseys or pants you can ride.
Originally pioneers in the motocross industry, their synonymous attention to detail and pursuit to create the absolute best sunglasses on the market pushed them into the cycling industry. With the 100% Bike Sunglasses, Speedcraft range now worn by World Champion, Peter Sagan.
Today, as the brand's awareness grows again in Motocross, on Downhill slopes, and BMX tracks, 100% is inspiring a whole new generation of racers and asking them the original tag line: How much effort do you give?
"If you aren't giving it 100%, you will regret it!"
