Justin Bogle (or his crash), Stefan Everts and the Geico Honda team: just three factions of top level motocross racing that have helped 6D helmets push their way into consciousness over the last year but it is also their technology and the very substance of what constitutes a 6D lid that has also been gaining attention.
Since their informative presentation at the 2013 Motocross of Nations in Germany 6D has been on our radar and we even highlighted the alternative approach to head protection the American firm is bringing o the market in one of our previous issues. Here we are happy to highlight their flagship ATR-1 in Crusader graphics. The ATR-1 of course has the innovative Omni Directional Suspension (elastomeric dampners between the linings) and the shell is made of Advanced aerospace carbon fibre, composite fiberglass and Kevlar. You have all the features you would expect from a premium helmet such as large eyeport opening, emergency release cheek pads, engineered venting and a three year warranty. Check out the website. The explanation behind ODS and more is fascinating.
