Aliso Viejo, Calif. – Held USA is proud to announce their renewed partnership with Reg Pridmore and CLASS Motorcycle Schools. CLASS instructors will be outfitted with Held’s top of the line Titan and Phantom motorcycle gloves and students will be able to test and purchase the gloves and other Held products such as track suits and accessories.
Founded in 1972 by 3-time AMA Superbike Champion and Hall of Fame member Reg Pridmore, CLASS is one of the top motorcycle track schools in the nation. Designed for street riders, the easy-to-learn Control and Technique skills apply to all kinds of riding, from commuting and recreational riding to track days and racing.

“We are very excited to use Held gloves and products at our schools,” Pridmore says. “We want our instructors to be wearing the safest and most comfortable motorcycle gear possible and we hope this will influence our students to invest in the best. This is what Held is known for, so it’s the perfect partnership for CLASS schools.”
“I took a CLASS school with Reg when I was a fairly new rider,” says Held USA’s Sarah Schilke, “and it definitely changed my riding and my awareness of the importance of high quality safety gear. The focus on excellence and safety provides an optimal platform to showcase Held’s premium gloves and track suits, and I’m thrilled to rev up this partnership.”
Reg Pridmore chooses Held because he wants his instructors and students to wear the best, like this CLASS instructor in his Held Titan gloves.
