Poway, CA – August 10, 2020 – Great challenges must be met with even greater advancements. For the 2021 season, THOR is very proud to announce key technical updates to our championship winning racewear collection, alongside brand-new, progressive technical products designed to elevate riders and racers to reach their own next level of performance.
PRIME PRO
Factory Red Bull KTM ace Cooper Webb has preferred the PRIME PRO chassis since it was launched in 2019. It was throughout Cooper’s championship-winning season and strong 2020 series follow up that THOR gathered vital race day knowledge to enhance the PRIME PRO for 2021. Featuring new lay-flat, inboard side cinches, amplified density In-Motion main chassis fabric and upgraded stretch mesh panels in critical areas, the revamped PRIME PRO pant is ready to continue its winning ways.
PULSE
Never before has an update so clearly redefined what a product is tasked to achieve. Taking critical material and fit cues from PRIME PRO, the all-new PULSE chassis continues a legacy rooted in materials designed for better abrasion resistance and extended wear, with focused integration of In-Motion materials at key locations to reduce weight and increase flexibility. Additionally, the Women’s PULSE pant and jersey chassis received a fit refinement, resulting in a more athletic, performance-oriented appeal. No other kit on the market offers this level of tech and performance fit, at such a reasonable price.
PULSE AIR
Heat leads to fatigue and fatigue leads to poor results. The all-new PULSE AIR is purpose built to combat troublesome heat with maximum airflow and elite functionality. The jersey offers a full mesh main chassis and engineered mesh panels strategically placed to enhance airflow and comfort. The pant boasts durable, fully breathable, “power mesh” panels incorporated with In-Motion materials to amplify performance.
TERRAIN
Longevity is the name of the game. Redesigned from the ground up, the TERRAIN collection truly embodies technical apparel that is well-constructed of premium materials tasked to last a long time, yet comfortable enough to be worn for long days on the bike. The TERRAIN jersey features all-new, ultralight ripstop sleeves, soft touch collar to avoid chaffing and vented side panels to enhance airflow and moisture wicking. The completely redeveloped TERRAIN jacket and pant feature a slightly more tapered fit, brand new Dura-Motion and 600D construction for long life, generous pockets, taped zippers and Hipora membrane + DWR coating for greater water resistance, removable sleeves and plentiful zippered vents for true multi-season usability.
AGILE PLUS GLOVE
An evolutionary step from the original AGILE, the 2021 AGILE PLUS glove has become the spec piece for THOR’s factory racers around the world. With a lightweight chassis design and single layer perforated palm, the AGILE PLUS provides premium cooling and precise feedback from the motorcycle.
ASSIST
The eMTB revolution continues to grow and THOR is excited to be along for the ride. Whether the casual weekend peddler, the advanced cross-trainer or full-blown racer, the new ASSIST line is crafted to get you there. Using the technical DNA of THOR’s championship-winning motocross apparel, this collection features moisture-wicking jerseys hosting durable polyester construction and hybrid sleeve design, while the shorts and pants proudly boast In-Motion main body fabric accompanied by strategic stretch panels for optimum mobility, snap or ratchet-style closures and lay-flat, inboard side cinches for fine tuning fit.

About THOR Motocross: THOR was founded by 4-time World 250cc Motocross Champion, Torsten Hallman, in 1968 in San Diego, California. Two years earlier, Torsten had come to the United States at the request of Husqvarna to help promote the bike and introduce it to the US market. Torsten saw the American racer’s potential and the need for quality motocross gear so he began importing pants, gloves and jerseys under the brand name Hallman Racing, or THOR (Torsten Hallman Original Racewear). This was the beginning of THOR.
