6D HELMETS UNVEILS THE LIGHTER, BETTER VENTILATED, AND IMPROVED ATR-3 OFF-ROAD MOTORCYCLE HELMET
Helmet-safety pioneer’s latest offering boasts superior ventilation and enhanced Omni-Directional Suspension™ technology
La Habra, Calif. – 6D Helmets, the leader in helmet safety technology, proudly introduces the all-new ATR-3 off-road motorcycle helmet. Building upon the legacy of the acclaimed ATR-2, the ATR-3 is designed to provide riders with unprecedented protection and comfort, featuring an upgraded Advanced Omni-Directional Suspension (ODS) system, improved ventilation, and a lighter overall weight.
The ATR-3’s Rebuildable ODS system, now in its 5th iteration, represents the pinnacle of 6D’s commitment to rider safety. This evolved technology includes an Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) multi-impact outer liner and a replaceable Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) inner liner, connected by elastomeric isolation dampers. The newest generation is lighter and more efficient at improving impact mitigation for both linear and angular accelerations than its predecessor.
“With over 13 years of experience in helmet development, 6D’s Omni-Directional Suspension™ technology has been rigorously tested and proven effective worldwide across multiple helmet platforms,” said Bob Weber, 6D’s CEO and co-founder. “We continuously challenge ourselves to enhance our technology and advance rider safety. This on-going pursuit of innovation has led to the creation of the ATR-3—the lightest, best-ventilated, and most technically advanced helmet we have ever produced.”
The ATR-3 focuses on enhancing weight reduction and ventilation with a range of innovative features. Its new 3K Carbon Composite shell not only maintains the durability of the previous tri-composite design but also delivers a striking carbon fiber finish. The helmet showcases significantly improved ventilation, boasting large intake vents and direct channels to enhance airflow around the rider's head. Moreover, with its revamped shell composition and streamlined ODS system, the ATR-3 achieves a remarkable weight reduction of 100 grams, resulting in a lower center of gravity and an enhanced rider feel.
In addition to its advanced ODS 5 system and improved weight and ventilation, the ATR-3 introduces several updates aimed at enhancing overall helmet performance. It incorporates an Eject-compatible design for seamless integration and features a magnetic chinstrap clasp to enhance durability. Furthermore, it includes practical elements such as a removable roost guard, mud visor extension, integrated speaker pockets, new custom designed titanium D-rings, and compatibility with drink tubes.
The ATR-3 upholds the safety standards set by its predecessor, the ATR-2, retaining crucial features such as the EPP Chinbar, clavicle cutaway, cervical spine relief, sternum pad, shear-away visor screws, and emergency removable cheek pads.
Available in three shell sizes, catering to sizes from XS to XXL, the ATR-3 comes with a three-year limited warranty and starts at an MSRP of $759.95.
