Market: In the search for optimal aerodynamics when cycling, it's now all about the body! According to an investigation by the clothing manufacturer, 100% particularly hairy legs and protruding ears pose a major challenge. As is well known, there are various tools available on the market for depilating legs, and 100% now presents the Speedcraft Ear Performance glasses as a "problem solution" for the ears.
Aerodynamic slippage is essential for top performance in racing. The clothing brand 100% has carried out wind tunnel tests in cooperation with scientists from the University of Arcadia. The result of the investigation: Hairy legs and protruding ears are the greatest challenge for optimal aerodynamics. While the legs can easily be shaved, the "optimization" of the ears is naturally much more difficult. 100% took on the problem and developed the new Speedcraft Ear.
The performance glasses have a small extra bracket with an integrated neodymium magnet on each side. The brackets are infinitely adjustable for an individual adjustment to the ears of the driver. In order for the whole system to work, a plaster with a small metal plate must also be glued to the back of the ears. The ears are flattened by the magnetic force of attraction, which in turn reduces air resistance. The 100% Speedcraft Ear will be available from mid-April at a price of EUR 339,00.
