Thor Announces Arrival of 2011 Limited Edition Gear



With the 2011 season just underway,
Thor is proud to announce the arrival of two limited edition releases
to begin the year.  Monster Energy Kawasaki riders Ryan Villopoto and
Jake Weimer unveiled both sets of gear last weekend in Anaheim during
the opening round of the 2011 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season.

The first release was produced in collaboration with premier modern lifestyle brand, Volcom
Built as a brand dedicated to connecting to its core consumers, the
partnership between Thor and Volcom was a natural fit.  The end result
of that partnership was revealed Saturday night in Anaheim when Ryan
Villopoto formally introduced the Thor & Volcom – Flux gear to a
sold out Anaheim stadium during the Supercross season opener.  Not only
did Villopoto debut one of the latest releases, he also captured the
win in very convincing fashion.

Now Thor, Volcom, and Ryan Villopoto
fans can now purchase the same one of a kind gear by visiting their
local Parts Unlimited dealership.

A second release on display
from the pit area in Anaheim was the all-new Transmit gear.  Despite
being sidelined with a broken arm, Jake Weimer was up to the task when
asked to showcase the second limited edition release of the weekend. 



The Transmit gear is the latest
addition to the Core lineup, and just like the Volcom gear is available
today at your local Parts Unlimited dealership.
