The Polini Thor 260 is a compact, high-torque paramotor engine designed for adventure and long-distance flight. It offers a perfect balance of power, smooth operation, and reliability—delivering the thrills of sport flying with the comfort of a cruising engine.
Engine Type: Liquid-cooled, 2-stroke
Power Output: 36 HP @ 8000 RPM
Weight: 46.3 lbs (including radiator)
Max Thrust: 231 lbs with a 63-inch propeller
Fuel Consumption: Only 0.92 gal/hr at 4500 RPM
Static Thrust at Cruise: Approx. 66 lbs
Starter System: Electric starter + Manual Flash starter (both included)
Gear Reduction Ratios:
2.8:1 for props up to 55 inches
3.2:1 for props over 55 inches
The Thor 260 was created for pilots who fly far. It’s a GT (Grand Touring) class engine—capable of sustained performance over long distances with minimal fatigue. Whether you’re gliding over countryside or tackling a cross-country challenge, the Thor 260 provides smooth, consistent power and reduced vibration through its built-in counterbalancing shaft.
The engine stays cool and efficient thanks to a lightweight, compact radiator that optimizes thermal control and improves takeoff weight and aerodynamics. The radiator setup is engineered for tight packaging and dependable cooling in all conditions.
All Thor engines, including the 260, share the same mounting points. That means one frame can fit the entire Thor range—streamlining manufacturing, reducing lead times, and allowing pilots to swap engines without modifying the frame. The Thor 260 comes fully assembled with all mounting hardware included.
With its unique blend of power and balance, the Thor 260 is an ideal match for:
Single-seat and two-seat trikes
Delta trikes
Cruising or cross-country setups
The Thor 260’s dual starter system (electric + manual) ensures flexibility and safety in all environments.
This engine was engineered to meet the growing demand for low-maintenance, low-consumption, yet powerful paramotor solutions. At under 47 pounds fully equipped, the Thor 260 is lightweight yet stable, giving pilots a more efficient fuel burn and a quieter, smoother ride—especially over long flights.
