A dynamic alliance has emerged in the world of specialized sportswear, bringing together the heritage of Team Ikuzawa with the technological prowess of 100Percent. This partnership introduces an exclusive line of mountain biking apparel, featuring the R-Core X jersey and pants, designed to equip riders with high-performance gear that also boasts a distinct aesthetic. The collection pays homage to Tetsu Ikuzawa's personal connection to mountain biking, highlighting his dedication to the sport beyond his renowned racing career, and serves as a testament to the blend of tradition and innovation.
The newly unveiled pieces are not just about style; they integrate cutting-edge features for optimal performance on the trails. The R-Core X pants incorporate a customizable BOA System at the waist for a secure fit, alongside a durable, water-repellent fabric engineered for flexibility and endurance. The complementary R-Core X jersey showcases a classic motorcycling-inspired design, enhanced with modern four-way stretch material for unrestricted movement. Professional mountain biker Hugo Frixtalon, known as Frix Frix, is prominently featured in the campaign, captured through the lenses of Marc Blanchard and Dimitri Coste, embodying the spirit of this unique collaboration.
This special release from Team Ikuzawa and 100Percent is now available for purchase, exclusively through Team Ikuzawa’s digital storefront, with global shipping options. While the initial drop focuses on jerseys and pants, visual cues from the campaign suggest that additional co-branded accessories, such as helmets, gloves, and goggles, may be released in the future, although no official announcements have been made at this time. This collection symbolizes the ongoing evolution of sports apparel, demonstrating how historical passion and contemporary technology can converge to create products that resonate deeply with enthusiasts.
