MXGP veteran Kevin Strijbos has also chosen to use and endorse 100% eyewear as he goes to battle for the 2016 world championship on his Team Suzuki World MXGP RMZ450.
Team rider Max Anstie, with four GP race wins in MX2, placed third in the 2015 MXGP MX2 championship. The young English star is a great addition to the 100% family, and is slated to make an impact in the 2016 season aboard his Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing machine.
Teammate Thomas Covington is coming off his sophomore year racing the MXGP series, and currently has one MX2 win under his belt from the 2015 MXGP of Leon.
