Overview
What Does SmartShock Protection Actually Do for Cyclists?
The 100% Cognito SmartShock glove is built for riders who push into rough terrain and want their hands protected without sacrificing control. The SmartShock protection system is a purpose-built impact management layer positioned across the back of the hand to absorb and disperse the kind of blunt force that comes from trail riding, drops, and rocky terrain. This is not padding for road vibration; it is genuine impact protection designed to keep your hands in the game when conditions get aggressive.
The embossed neoprene cuff provides a durable, comfortable closure that seals out debris and holds the glove securely in place during hard efforts. Construction prioritizes mobility alongside protection, with articulated zones that keep your fingers free to work the brakes and shifters at full speed. Available in Black in sizes S and L, the Cognito is a straightforward choice for XC and trail cyclists who want a glove built to handle the consequences of riding fast in technical terrain.

FAQ

Get to know 100%
There's more to 100% than this one product. Our 100% page has the full 100% lineup we carry and more about the brand.
Visit the 100% page →What is the SmartShock protection system?
SmartShock is 100%s proprietary back-of-hand impact protection technology. It uses a structured padding system designed to absorb and redirect impact energy from the kind of falls and knuckle strikes that occur in trail and XC riding, offering more meaningful protection than standard foam-lined gloves.
Is the Cognito bulky or restrictive?
No. The Cognito is engineered to balance protection with mobility. The articulated construction keeps your fingers and palm free to grip, brake, and shift without fighting against the glove, even with the added protection layer on the back of the hand.
Can the Cognito be used for road cycling or gravel?
It can, though the Cognito is primarily designed for MTB use where back-of-hand impact protection has the most value. Road and gravel cyclists who want impact coverage for aggressive riding or bikepacking in technical terrain will find it useful, but it is more glove than most road riders need.
