INTENSE, THOR, AND AARON GWIN

Factory INTENSE racer and 5-time UCI World Cup Downhill Overall Champion and 9-time USA National Champion, Aaron Gwin, has recently inked a deal with THOR to contest the 2022 race season.

Gwin, who hails from Southern California, 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. At 20 years old, Aaron 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.

Aaron is happy to point out, “I’ve been a huge fan of the THOR brand since I was a kid. My dad brought 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. Having the opportunity to be the rider who will launch the THOR brand into Mountain biking is pretty awesome. 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.”
