Jordi Torres delivers MotoE Championship win for Rainers Sports
New race series come and go , but you know that a relatively new one has ' hit the spot ' when it starts to become a viable platform for motorcycle parts and apparel vendors . Kudos to well-known Spanish bootmaker Rainers Sports for its backing of Jordi Torres . The 33-year old Spaniard is a two-time winner of the Spanish Moto2 Championship and has previously competed in his native Supersport and Stock Extreme championships . The good news for Jordi and for Rainers is that riding for the Pons Racing 40 team is that this year he rode his Energica Ego Corsa to the championship win in the second year of the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup , after a strong ride to sixth place at Le Mans earlier this year . The 2019 champion Matteo Ferrari ( Team Trentino Gresini MotoE ) took a very close fight for second place in the 2020 series . In another sure sign that the MotoE series could be here to stay , in one form
or another , the pandemic-permitting calendar for 2021 sees six events staging seven races at six different venues . The championship will start on May 2nd , 2021 at Circuito de Jerez in Southern Spain and wrap up with a doubleheader at Energica ' s home track , the Misano World Circuit , on September 19th - the Energica EGO Corsa will again be the series ' spec ' bike . www . rainers-sports . com

THOR MX Collection 2021 - Carbon ' Reflex ' helmet Developed and tested in cooperation with THOR elite riders such as Cooper Webb , Marvin Musquin , Justin Cooper , Ty Masterpool , Aaron Plessinger and Adam Enticknap , the 2021 THOR MX range includes kits , boots , gloves , goggles , guards and the other gear that every off-roader and motocrosser needs . The big news is the high-tech ' Reflex ' carbon helmet , developed to offer the best possible protection at the lowest weight and to ensure excellent visibility . The carbon ' Polar ' helmet has already been tested by the professional THOR riders of the H . E . P SUZUKI TEAM , and now they rated the new ' Reflex ' helmet " lightweight , ventilated , comfortable and having excellent peripheral view ". Features include the Koroyd EPS to provide excellent ventilation and lightness , which is necessary for a concentrated ride . The Polar is the carbon version and the fiberglass versions are Apex , Accel and Blackout . Koroyd ’ s welded tubes crumple instantly and consistently on impact ,
absorbing maximum possible force in a controlled manner , minimising the energy transfer to the head . Advanced breathability and cooling are ensured by air following consistently through the open cells . Direct and angled impact protection is guaranteed by the MIPS BPS ( Brain
Protection System ), which allows the head to move inside the helmet to reduce the harmful rotational motion energy that is otherwise transferred to the brain . The ' Reflex ' offers extensive intake venting with strategic channels , enhanced by the benefit of Koroyd material , carrying stale air to multiple exhaust vents designed to accelerate the airflow in a precise and effective manner . The Koroyd technology and dual density EPS provide advanced breathability , ultralight feel and improved protection . The whole ' Reflex ' helmet line meets ECE 22.05 Helmet Safety Standard . www . partseurope . eu
