few years ago, Thor decided that they wanted to offer one of the best helmets for motocross on the market. So they spent two years in research and development with input from 2004 Supercross Champion Chad Reed to create the Force Helmet. The Force helmet is what Thor calls a “technically engineered solution for impact coverage.” The Force is different from other helmets in that every feature on the Force helmet was designed to address issues and rider complaints. This resulted in several features not seen before on a motocross helmet.
     There are several innovative features like a tapered eye-port gasket for a better goggle seal, and an ergonomic base gasket that clears your shoulders. Plus, the helmet has dual-shot visor screws for “no-tools-needed” adjustments, and a washable/removable aqua-trans, dual density styrene liner that helps keep riders cooler and drier in the hot game of moto. This helmet is also loaded with intake and exhaust vents to aide in cooling on hot days. The SNELL and DOT approved Force helmet is constructed of aramid, fiberglass, and dyneema for superior strength and light weight. Plus, the Force helmet comes in 20 different colors (including Chad Reed and Pro Circuit replicas) to match any bike or Thor gear combination you can think of.
     Strength, comfort, safety and versatility are what the Force helmet is all about. And it looks great because advanced technology always looks good. And for a limited time, the Force is available in the new Force Respect graphics. The Force Respect Helmet is a limited Image Piece with a Japanese themed illustration. The helmet is flashy, loud and proud, for the non-traditional rider. This helmet demands…well, respect. It’s available in sizes XS-XXL for a suggested retail price of $299.95. Again, the Force Respect is a limited edition and is sure to fly off the shelves. Order up with your Parts Unlimited rep today so that your customers don’t miss out.
     How do you make a great helmet even better? Make it lighter! That’s what Thor decided to do with the Force helmet. And when you’re looking for lighter weight and superior strength there is only one material that fills the bill–Carbon Fiber. The Force Carbon Fiber is built for riders who demand the ultimate in performance from themselves and their equipment. That’s why the Force Carbon Fiber is the choice of champions like Chad Reed (2004 Supercross Champion) and Ivan Tedesco (2004-2005 Supercross Lites West Champion and 2005 Motocross Lites National Champion).
     Thanks to the lighter weight of the Force Carbon Fiber you can ride longer and harder with less fatigue without sacrificing any of the great features of the Force Helmet line. The Carbon Fiber material is mixed with resin to form a pre-impregnated, or “pre-preg” sheet that is hand-laid into the mold to form the outer-most layer of the shell. Yes, it is expensive and time consuming to produce but well worth the wait. The result is great strength with less weight in a full-featured helmet. Weighing in at only three pounds, the Force Carbon Fiber is truly a handmade work of functioning art. All Force Carbon Fiber helmets include a chrome stabilizer fin and a space visor as well as a soft and supple helmet bag to protect your new helmet when you’re not out winning races.
