It’s funny how certain things in life come full circle, this is definitely one of those childhood “dream come true” type of moments for me. Having the opportunity now to be the rider who will launch the THOR brand into mountain biking is pretty awesome.

“My dad bought me my first THOR kit from the local motorcycle store when I was twelve and I always dreamed of racing for them as a pro when I grew up. “I’ve been a huge fan of the THOR brand since I was a kid,” said Gwin. At 20 years old, he was encouraged to give downhill mountain bike racing a go and saw immediate success, competing on the UCI world stage after only 8 months of racing. Hailing from Southern California, Gwin started his two-wheeled domination early on racing BMX at a national level, then quickly graduating to the motocross racing scene throughout his teenage years. To help maximize their new venture into bike apparel, THOR added five-time UCI World Cup Champion and eight-time USAC National Champion, Aaron Gwin to the factory team. From thigh-burning climbs for PRs, to e-bike cruises for pure enjoyment, Assist has got you covered. The new Assist collection bridges the gap from casual trail riding, to all-out downhill racing. Whether an integral part of your cross-training routine or enjoyed as an evening rip with friends, THOR is proud to offer a line of Bike apparel that is inspired by our decades-long dedication to perfecting motocross equipment. With an extensive history as the original motocross race wear brand it was only natural for THOR to crossover into the mountain bike world. Poway, California (August 9, 2021) - Living the two-wheeled-life is not limited to the tracks and trails only accessible via combustion engines.
