We are all shaped by history. Not necessarily by the
events that occur, but by how we interpret those
events. In 40 Years of racing we’ve witnessed events
that have helped shape the company we’ve become. The
sport we love has really progressed since the days
of goat-skin riding pants, open face helmets, and
riders like Torsten Hallman, Roger DeCoster, and
Marty Smith. Today it’s dominated by ballistic nylon
pants, carbon fiber helmets, and riders like Chad
Reed, Ivan Tedesco, Travis Pastrana, and Ryan
Villopoto.
That progression has been fueled by you, the rider.
We spend countless hours designing and developing
performance products that are tailored specifically
for you. Every product is a progression, a new step
forward in design and performance that’s purpose
built for today’s rider. We’ve been doing it longer
than anyone else, and better than anyone else. And
we don’t plan on letting up anytime soon. So, sit
back and help us blow out the candles on another
year.., Together we’re making history.
Build the quickest, lightest, best handling machine
that can take all the abuse of the roughest tracks
on earth and still come out a winner. The last 4
decades have seen an incredible amount of change
when it comes to bike technology and the future is
sure to see the same. Think you’ve seen all the
tricks the manufacturers have up their sleeves...
think again. Because just when you think you’ve seen
it all that’s when things really change.
If you were riding back in the early days of moto,
there’s a good chance you were wearing a pair of our
Hallman leather riding pants. You see, we’ve been
building moto gear for this sports champions for the
last 40 years. What started out as 4-time World MX
Champion Torsten Hallman’s desire to make quality
riding gear available to USA riders, has become the
premier brand of performance riding gear in the
world. Of course, our products have seen the same
type of technological advancements that the bikes
have seen. Gone are the days of hot and heavy
leather pants, replaced by lightweight materials
with high-tech performance and amazing durability.
Every product we build is based upon the experience
and expertise we’ve gained over the past 40 years.
That’s something no other brand can offer, and it’s
why Thor products fit better, last longer, and
out-perform the competition.
