6D Helmets
When 6D Helmets first launched their ATR-1 helmet years ago, they pretty much completely changed the game with regard to motocross, off-road, and now even street and mountain bike helmet technology. The fact they addressed slower speed impacts and rotational forces during an unforeseen crash while still maintaining faster speed impact protection, opened some eyes for the need for improved rider protection. Their ODS technology was a new innovation that had never been seen before and has forced most manufacturers of high-end helmets to try to keep up. The need for improvement to head protection as well as a goal of decreasing the concussion numbers during lower speed impacts was long overdue and 6D addressed it head on, pun intended.
6D didn’t simply sit back on their original innovation. Over the years they have continued to make improvements for safety as well as comfort style and weight. They recently introduced the ATR-3 to their lineup and we have been riding with the latest rendition and have nothing but praise.
These days there are only a handful of helmets we trust our brain in and the 6D is on the top of our list. When it comes to what your brain is worth during a crash, the cost of the best protection should not even be a question. Plus, 6D also has a program to have your helmet inspected after an impact and depending on the severity, they can rebuild most helmets as long as the shell has not been compromised.
Depending on your needs, 6D still offers the proven ATR-1 starting at $369.99, the ATR-2 at $569.95, and the latest ATR-3 starting at $794.95. The brand also has a full line of mountain bike helmets ranging from trail to downhill and a line of street helmets. The team is continuing to innovate their products and we have seen a sneak peek at some more innovations on the horizon.
If your brain is worth $100 bucks, there are options, if your brain is priceless, you might want to check out a 6D.
