100% Introduces knee and elbow pads
Apparel and gear brand 100% is introducing new gear into their mountain bike line, which originally began with just eyewear. Now they’ll have a wide range of pads. The Surpass is a CE-tested, lightweight, hardshell pad.
The Fortis is a lightweight trail pad that can be used for anything from XC to downhill, and the Teratec is a slim, Lycra knee guard that’s CE Level 1 certified and is said to provide serious protection. The Ride Camp is a slim, XC pad, and pads start at $50.
100% also has their 2019 apparel line and helmets up.
Evoc Neo hydration pack
Evoc’s new Neo pack is ready for serious riding. It’s a 16L volume pack with a back protector and helmet carrier. The back protector is said to have exceptional shock absorption properties, but vents well also.
The Neo has wide hip belts, a 3L hydration bladder, a fleece lined goggle pocket, and an easily accessible tool compartment. It’s available in two colors and costs $300.
