I just heard back from Turn14  new dealer development( the new owners of Answer). They said that there will be a 2024 line. There exact words on a timeframe for 2024 gear was "At this time, there is no official press released information to share with our consumers on products coming out in 2024.  Though I can assure you that it is being worked on within these transition phases. "

So there will be 2024 Answer gear. Just might not be available for a while or who knows, they could put out a press release next week.  

 

They took Tucker over in August , so I imagine that they must have been working on the deal for a while.I had heard from multiple reps for other distributors that their company( the distributor the rep worked for Parts Unlimited,WPS, etc.) were in talks to purchase Protaper as far back as this time last year.  Who knows, that may have delayed the normal work that gets done as far as getting gear designed and ordered. Who knows how the negotiations started out.Or what Tuckers plans were for Answer before the Sale to Turn14. It is good news to hear that they are working on the 2024 lines for all of the brands that were owned by Tucker though. 

If I happen to come across any info that I can post about Answer , I will come back and post. But most likely ,Answer will put out ads and info before , or at the sametime I have any info I can share.

thank you for the update man! I have been with answer for 5 years or so but unfortunately looks like i'm going to go with one of my other offers as i can't wait that long for a contract on a chance it won't come.

That's where I'm at, can't wait much longer. Saw their Instagram account was active a day or two ago for old gear but the profile still links to a dead website. Wish they would shed some transparency for those that are willing to give them money still.

Yah I am surprised that They have not put something out. They did say that they will 100% have 2024 lines for all of the brands that Tucker owned. I'm not as familiar with the automotive aftermarket world. Turn 14 is a big company in that segment, so perhaps they are going to do things more inline with the automotive world?  It sounds like the person in the post above  has seen and maybe worn some of the gear.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing what they do. I'll come back and post if I get any info that I can share.

Astars and FXR killed it again. Thor, Fox, and Fly is boring. 

100% agree. Look at the PC Kawasaki photoshoot and the gear they gave Shimoda for his first HRC Honda outing. What the hell is going on at Fox lately?

Always trying to make the most boring gear (and ugliest helmets)...

IMG 2822 0.jpeg?VersionId=eAnyone know if Thor is going to be releasing the gear set that the star 250 team was wearing in their photo shoot? 2024.5 sneak peak maybe? Webb was also wearing gear they aren’t currently selling  IMG 2821

Yup, It is the Jazz colorway. only in that color.  And if You look at Cooper Webb's photos from that same shoot, the gear he is in will also be available. It is called Aloha and will be available in 2 colorways. I have no idea when it will be in dealers. I saw the part # for Jazz but it disappeared from the dealer site.  image-20240104114845-1

Thanks! I was going to email my rep and ask.  Have You had a chance to try on the 24 SM10 or see if anybody else has said anything about it being tighter fitting?

I was just looking around , trying to find out if I could find anything on Answer gear and found this on their website. 2025 gear?    image-20240404154351-1 image-20240404154411-2

Sometimes the colors do not show well in the photos.  The Sector stuff that has a greenish tint to it is most likely flo yellow  and not greenish like the photos.  I like the look Prime analog the best. That blue set is clean.  The T-shirts are better quality than in the past too. I had some 22 t shirts and the 23 shirts that are a carryover are the same price, but much better quality than the 22. 

I figured that it was excess inventory that kept the Pulse line current. Seeing stock levels . I was just hopeful that  I was wrong.

I just meant the actual selection - very bland

Red/Yellow, Black/White, Grey Orange, and Red/White. Very played out, try something new.

 

I think gear has headed a different direction, and I dont really like it.

In the early 2000s (best era for gear - not debatable) most companies offered 2-3 lines with 10-15 color schemes so you could find the combo that was perfect for you.

Now it seems like most offer 5-7 lines, with 3 or 4 color colorways, which I think makes it harder to find the design you like, and color combo

 I agree 5 -7 different pant models. Then not enough colors of pants. 1 might b a decent front then all black rear. Stop doing the all black rear pants, looks boring.  Bring on the  wild designs like 3d bullet holes,  a creative cartoon head all ovr, a stupid but funny lookin cat,s head everywhere, etc. until then I hv 8 pairs of 90,s pants.

So many people  that buy gear from me  like the black rear on pants.  The dirt around here tends to stain gear and white gear is only nice for 1 ride unless You can stay away from roost.  But I do agree that the 24 Thor was not their best.  It could have been worse too. But I am looking forward to 2025.

The main problem with the '24 Thor stuff was their mid-range, which is normally always good basically hasn't existed. Their Pulse range is still the same as '23 which was bad, and they didn't do an LE which (if they'd stuck to previous years would have been the same as their 2005 gear). In effect, they've gone lazy.

Yah I was surprised when I got my pre order info for the 24 gear . I thought they made a mistake and just had the old photos as a place holder or something.   It might be related, but I sold much more Prime than  23/24 Pulse. In 22 I sold more Pulse .   I've only been selling Thor since 22. So I do not have a long history selling it. 

Right now I like the Alpinestars stuff the best of all the gear brands. But its hard to argue the value Thor offers. With the Prime line you get pants and Jersey sometimes gloves for about what You pay for pants from most other brands similar lines.  Durability is not the best for any high end gear these days though.

I’m a short arse who’s built like a tank at 5’6” and about 240lb. Thor Pulse kit is one of the best there is for me and I’ve always bought it until last year when I switched to FXR. Then FXR have decided to stop doing what I’d call man sizes. Much as I like prime gear to look at it’s a bit useless making gear for stick insects for my arse!

Yah , I am also too big for the Prime gear myself.  But for people that have their sizes available it is comfortable.  I would say that the Pulse is more durable though. Just not stretchy.   

 

Moose gear comes in some big sizes. Sizes so big that I'm able to get gear that is way way too big for me.  I tried on some 42 Moose pants and they fit like my Carhart  42's. I could wear a 40 in them and the Pulse gear I need to wear a 44 to get the same fit.  I know moose is more of an off road brand. But some of the 2024 designs are nice and clean and I bet that if Thor had done them on the Pulse line , they would have been selling pretty well.

Do the gear companies normally release new stuff at the beginning of outdoors? I feel like Fox has been teasing us throughout the SX season. Curious to see what they release next.

Bigger releases tend to be around Lorretta Lynn's time of the year. Parts Unlimited normally puts out the next years gear catalog in August with Thor and Moose's new lines in it. 

And some limited edition colorways throughout the year tend to be common for a few brands now too. Sometimes making custom one off gear for guys, sometimes they are giving a sneak peak into what is coming out.

I see O'Neal has released some 2025 gear on their website 

7/8/2024 5:00pm

I have seen a lot of the 2025 stuff from Thor and I think that it is the best its been in years.  Some  dramatic changes. Some that will be noticeable right away, some that will roll out over the next year and longer term.  August 5th is the official drop. But I think You will start to get some little peaks at some of the gear as we get closer.    

 

 They have a teaser video on the Thor website.   

 

Leatt has some more wild stuff coming for 2025.  Some color combos and designs that are pretty wild  and some clean stuff . 

 

I've heard of a couple new for 2025 helmets,   , some new boots, both refreshed models and new models.  So some good closeout deals might be coming up.
