Best 6D Motorcycle Riding Helmet

Effectively a helmet within a helmet, the inner expanded polystyrene (EPS) structure of the ATR-2 has its own in-molded PVC shell that provides strength, integrity and the ability to rotate. This inner liner is secured to the helmet’s out layers via 6D’s Omni-Directional System using break-away elastomeric dampers. This ability to rotate not only allows the helmet to absorb angular acceleration forces but also allows the helmet to be repaired by 6D after an impact. Unlike other helmets, 6D’s industry leading innovations make the ATR-2 the most impact compliant lid on the market.

Features:

Rebuildable Advanced ODS System:

• Replaceable inner EPS liner
• Multi-Impact outer EPP liner

• Isolation dampers
• Increased ODS (Omni-Directional Suspension) displacement travel (+30%)
• Improved linear and angular acceleration mitigation

Shell:

• Optimized lightweight tri-composite shell
• 3 Shell sizes
• Cervical protection zone at the lower rear shell area
• Brow rib increases shell integrity above the eyeport
• Clavicle cut-away
• 9 intake ports and 6 exhaust ports work in unison with the Air Gap Ventilation System

Helmet General Features:

• Removable, washable comfort liner features Genuine Dri-Lex® anti-bacterial fabric
• Emergency Quick-Release cheek pads
• PU-Over molded EPP lined chin bar includes 6D’s exclusive Sternum Pad
• Goggle band integrated shell recess at the eyeport area improves goggle fit and seal
• Shear-Away visor screws
• Nose Guard provides improved roost protection
• Titanium D-Rings

Infused with technology found nowhere else, the 6D ATR-2 Helmet’s Omni-Directional System is built around elastomeric dampers that allow the inner EPS liner to move independently from the denser, outer EPP (expanded polypropylene) foam layer. 6D refined this ODS technology while collaborating with the NFL during the Head Health Challenge III competition – a four-year study that concluded in 2017. All this technology takes place in a lightweight package that is housed in a tri-composite shell, split over three shell sizes for a slim profile.

With the ATR-2 Helmet, the inner EPS layer – the sacrificial defense against impact – is carried by these ODS dampers. Most importantly, this system mitigates rotational forces to the brain. But this unique design also allows this inner layer to be replaced after an impact. The unique design is effectively a helmet within a helmet. The outer EPP foam is designed to absorb force and then rebound after an impact; its structure does not permanently deform as expanded polystyrene does. As long as the exterior shell is not cracked or pierced, the helmet can be shipped to 6D and inner EPS replaced.

Unlike conventional helmets, this is not a one-crash-and-done helmet. Unlike other helmets, 6D’s industry-leading innovations make the ATR-2 the most impact-compliant lid on the market.

This was accomplished by 6D’s revolutionary Omni-Directional Suspension (ODS) system that was developed specifically to address the angular acceleration problem. The 3-dimensional displacement capability of the inner EPS liner, relative to the outer EPS liner, provides a more forgiving helmet over a much greater range of energy demands than any other helmet.

The 6D ATR-1 was the Game Changer in 2013, and today it is still the most effective off-road helmet available for athletes looking for the ultimate in head protection.
