THOR’s 2026 gear lineup is hitting the motocross scene with a bang, delivering a mix of durability, comfort, and style that’s turning heads. From the high-performance Sportmode collection to the rugged Launchmode and adventure-ready Overland gear, this year’s MX-26 collection builds on THOR’s championship-winning legacy. With fresh designs, innovative features, and a nod to riders of all levels, it’s clear THOR is doubling down on quality and versatility for 2026. Here’s a deep dive into what makes this gear stand out for anyone tearing up the track or exploring the trails.
A New Era for THOR MX
Last year, THOR shook up the motocross world with a bold new direction, introducing a fresh logo, striking graphics, and a range of innovative products. That momentum carries into 2026, with the MX-26 collection refining what worked and pushing boundaries further. Whether you’re a pro chasing podiums or a weekend rider hitting the dirt, THOR’s latest gear is designed to keep you comfortable, protected, and looking sharp. The lineup includes updated Sportmode and Launchmode racewear, a new budget-friendly Ridemode option, and expanded offerings for adventure riders in the Terrain and Range lines. Plus, there’s a fresh focus on casual apparel that brings motocross swagger to everyday wear.
Sportmode: Built for Champions

For riders who live for the thrill of the top step, the Sportmode collection is a game-changer. THOR took a minimalist approach, cutting down on chassis panels and seams to create a jersey and pants that fit like a second skin. The athletic fit hugs the body without restricting movement, thanks to a 4-way stretch poly/spandex blend that flexes with every twist and turn. This gear is all about performance, letting riders focus on the track without distractions.
The Sportmode jersey is packed with practical features. Laser-cut ventilation holes keep air flowing, even on scorching summer rides, while moisture-wicking fabric pulls sweat away to keep you cool and dry. Taped seams on the collar, cuffs, and hem reduce bulk and prevent chafing, making long rides more comfortable. A silicone-printed drop tail ensures the jersey stays tucked in, no matter how rough the terrain gets. The tailored sleeves move naturally with your arms, giving you full control without excess fabric getting in the way. Available in sizes for men, women, and youth, Sportmode is built for anyone aiming to dominate the track.
The pants match the jersey’s high standards, with a lightweight design that doesn’t skimp on durability. Stretchy materials and a contoured fit let you move freely, whether you’re leaning into a turn or launching off a jump. It’s the kind of gear that feels as good at the end of a race as it does at the starting gate.
Launchmode: Tough Enough for Anything

For riders who push their gear to the limit, the Launchmode collection is built to take a beating. Whether you’re a weekend warrior carving through trails or a racer lining up at the gate, this gear is designed to handle the toughest conditions. The Launchmode jersey uses the same 4-way stretch poly/spandex blend as Sportmode but opts for a relaxed fit that’s less restrictive. This makes it ideal for riders who want a bit more room to move without sacrificing performance.
Mesh panels in high-heat zones boost airflow, keeping you cool during intense rides. Like Sportmode, the Launchmode jersey wicks away moisture to keep sweat from slowing you down. The raglan-style sleeves offer a natural range of motion, perfect for navigating tight corners or rough terrain. The pants are equally tough, with abrasion-resistant overlays and a ratchet closure for a secure fit. Silicone grips on the waistband keep everything in place, and pre-curved legs ensure comfort from the first lap to the last.
For hotter days, THOR offers the Launchmode Air, a lighter version of the collection. Its vented chassis maximizes airflow while maintaining the same durability and flexibility. It’s a great choice for summer rides when staying cool is as important as staying protected.
Ridemode: Quality on a Budget

New for 2026, the Ridemode collection is THOR’s answer for riders just getting into the sport or those looking for high-quality gear at a lower price. Built on the foundation of Launchmode, Ridemode offers a relaxed fit with breathable, moisture-wicking materials that hold up to regular use. The jerseys and pants are lightweight but tough, with enough stretch to keep you moving freely. It’s a smart option for casual riders or those stepping up to more serious motocross without breaking the bank. Ridemode proves you don’t have to sacrifice quality for affordability, making it a great entry point into THOR’s lineup.
Overland Crew: Gear for the Open Road

For riders who crave adventure beyond the track, THOR’s Overland collection delivers. The Terrain and Range outerwear lines are designed for off-road explorers who tackle rugged trails and long-distance journeys. These pieces are built to withstand harsh conditions, from muddy singletracks to dusty desert paths. The 2026 lineup introduces a women’s-specific chassis, ensuring a better fit for female riders without compromising on toughness or style.
The Terrain line is perfect for off-road riding, with durable fabrics that stand up to branches, rocks, and whatever else the trail throws at you. The Range line, designed for adventure (ADV) riding, offers extra versatility for longer trips, with features like adjustable closures and plenty of stretch for comfort on all-day rides. Both lines are built to inspire confidence, whether you’re navigating uncharted paths or chasing the horizon. The Overland collection is a nod to riders who see the world as one big playground, ready to be explored on two wheels.
Helmets and Goggles: Protection Meets Style
No gear lineup is complete without protection, and THOR’s 2026 collection includes the Reflex Sport helmet and Activate goggles. The Reflex Sport helmet comes in carbon fiber or fiberglass composite options, blending lightweight construction with serious safety. It uses Koroyd technology and a dual-density EPS liner for impact protection, while the Mips Integra system adds extra comfort and stability. It’s a helmet that looks as good as it performs, giving riders confidence at high speeds.
The Activate goggles are built for clarity and durability. A triple-layer face foam with fleece keeps sweat at bay, and an anti-fog, scratch-resistant lens ensures clear vision in any conditions. Ventilation ports boost airflow, while outriggers and a 45mm silicone-backed strap keep the goggles secure, even during rough rides. With a triple-post tear-off system and a removable nose guard, these goggles are ready for race day or long trail sessions. The wide field of view (FOV+) helps you spot obstacles early, making them a must-have for any serious rider.
A Growing Community
THOR’s 2026 lineup isn’t just about gear—it’s about supporting a growing motocross community. The return of the Women’s Motocross Series to the AMA Motocross Nationals shows the sport’s expanding reach, while record turnouts in youth racing highlight its bright future. THOR’s gear is designed to meet the needs of every rider, from pros to amateurs, men to women, and kids just starting out. The Sportmode and Launchmode lines, in particular, are built to handle the demands of competitive racing, giving athletes the reliability they need to perform at their best.
The casual apparel line is another standout, bringing motocross-inspired style to everyday life. With bold graphics and comfortable fits, these pieces let riders show their passion for the sport off the track. It’s a way to stay connected to the motocross lifestyle, whether you’re at the garage, the bar, or just hanging out with friends.
Why THOR Stands Out
THOR’s 2026 MX-26 collection builds on a legacy of over five decades in motocross. Every piece is crafted with top-tier materials and tested by elite athletes, ensuring it can handle the rigors of the sport. The focus on fit, function, and durability makes this gear a go-to for riders who demand the best. From the lightweight, performance-driven Sportmode to the tough-as-nails Launchmode and adventure-ready Overland lines, there’s something for every rider. Add in the budget-friendly Ridemode and upgraded helmets and goggles, and it’s clear THOR is covering all bases.
For those ready to gear up, the full MX-26 collection is available at thormx.com or through authorized dealers like GAS Imports. Whether you’re chasing podiums, hitting the trails, or exploring new horizons, THOR’s 2026 lineup has you covered with gear that’s as tough and reliable as you are.
