Took a nasty crash off the side of a benchcut in a burn area full of timber. Launched off the side of the hill over fallen timber and eventually hit a dead stop on a log with the bike on top of me. After checking myself over and recovering the bike, I rode out. I didn't even think to check my helmet because I did not feel any significant blow to my head, and my ribs and ankle were calling for attention. A day later, after unloading my bike, I grabbed my helmet and noticed this crack on the shell. I cannot stress enough that I did not even think I took a blow to the head, this helmet and ODS tech is amazing. I will only run 6D from here on out. I should be severely concussed. Thank you 6D

Grandson & I LOVE our new 6d helmets! They provide next level protection, look amazing, are super comfortable, and have good ventilation for these warm summer riding days. 6d customer service was great with fitting and answering questions and made the process simple to swap when I ordered the wrong size. Thanks for everything!

I’ve had a few big name brand helmets and decided to try 6d based off some vetmx guys. This has to be the best fitting helmet I’ve worn and has great ventilation especially in the Texas heat.

Fits great and feels snug. Love it!!

For the most part, I love this helmet!
PROS…
It gives me confidence knowing I’m wearing the safest helmet on the market.
I’m a huge fan of the magnetic chin strap! It’s so much easier than trying to button it with gloves on.
The ear space is large. Previous helmets I’ve had (like Alpinestars M8) have caused sore ears after a long ride from rubbing on the helmet.
Customer Service: I emailed them a question & they replied fast plus mailed me the drawstring helmet bag, that my helmet was supposed to come with, free of charge.
CONS…
The cheek pads are exceptionally tight. They make me talk funny & I bite my cheeks. I put my brother’s cheek pads that are 5mm smaller in my helmet but still if I crashed I’d definitely bite the flesh of both cheeks off. The previous helmet I had was the Alpinestars M8 & I never had this issue. Of course, I’ll be buying different size cheek pads but I’m surprised it doesn’t come with other sizes right out of the box.
I also noticed no goggles completely seal on my face. Even if I push them into my helmet, they still only touch my forehead. (Helmet is a size small). Goggles I tried: Alpinestars Supertech, Scott Prospect 2.0, Leatt Velocity 6.5, Oakley Airbrake MTB, & 100% Armega.

As a team, we have chosen to switch to 6d Helmets since 2018 when my 6d helmet saved my life. The riders are loving the new ATR-3 Helmets, the fit, the style, they are saving and Turning Heads!

When we got into dirt bikes I started researching helmets. 6D was on every top 5 list. When we went to the local track and races, we saw a lot of riders wearing them. After much research and looking at multiple brands in person, we settled on 6D. We couldn’t be happier. The technology, the fit and comfort are all top notch. I hope I never have to fully test it but I feel confident riding in this helmet. It’s 6D for my family.

The helmet you choose to wear is protecting the most important part of your body because unlike the other parts in many cases, with your head you only get one shot that can determine the rest of your life. This is why I choose the 6D ATR-3, hands down the safest helmet you can put on your head.
S
Been wearing these helmets for 4 years now !!! Superb protection and confort !!! Never hesitate these helmets are the best !!!!

This is by far the most comfortable, lightweight helmet I have ever worn. I prioritize safety and have worn a top competitors brand for years. They have always been heavy but justify it for the safety. Well 6D just upped the standard in safety and lightweight helmets. Absolutely the best fitting and most comfortable helmet I have worn yet. The weight (or lack there of) is noticeable and has improved neck fatigue drastically after any length session.
And also have to say their customer service is bar none. I have never had a company answer the phone every time I call like they do. Super knowledgeable staff. You can tell they care about getting you exactly what you need. I am right In between two sizes and they helped me with customizing the sizing to fit my needs. They have custom cheek pads and liners for each size to make sure you get the fit you need and desire.
Honestly could keep going on. Absolutely love this helmet and the company.

I've worn my new art-3 for 7-8 long days of riding. The large fits just a touch more snug than my atr-2 large, but broke in after a couple days.
The light weight is nice, the visor extension is cool for early morning and afternoon sun in the desert. The helmet is a touch quieter. It vents incredibly well, like too well on a really cold morning, haha. The only issue is it's a bit tight in the cheeks with the stock 40mm pads and the 35mm are sold out. After a week of riding they have broken in a bit. It's a great helmet and I believe in it's one of the safest available.

We have purchased 5 helmets so far and do not plan to change. My sons has had 2 bad crashes and i strongly believe the helmet design saved him some serious injury

I’ve had a 6D ATR-2 and ATR-3 and I have to say they are my 2 favorite helmets I have ever owned. The ATR-3 is the best fitting helmet I have ever put on and it’s incredibly safe. Today I crashed pretty hard, hit a stump with my head first then my shoulder hit it. Broke my shoulder but no concussion with my ATR3 on. Absolutely fantastic helmet, will be picking up a new one at work as soon as my hospital bills are paid haha!

I had a bell moto10 spherical and I love this helmet so much more,the pads are so much more comfortable and it looks so much better in my opinion
D
It’s awesome
W
Awesome fit and super light!
W
Best helmets out there!
D
Comfort the first day I wore it, cheek pads a little on the tighter side. I ordered the next size up to custom fit my head and we now have a perfect fitting helmet. Will continue to purchase 6D in the future.
D
Amazing product. Fast shipping.
T
This thing is extremely light and the design is out of this world, I would reccommend 6D to anyone.
D
So the title really says it all - the helmet fits perfectly and the quality is absolutely sky high. My kid loves it and we’re ready to buy another one.
P
I’ve worn it a few times. It’s an update to my 6 year gen 1 version.
Fits well. Like the new design and safety improvements.
Highly recommend!
KEY FEATURES
NOVA GREEN
LUX TURNER // aeO KTM
aTR-3 // NOVA
ATR-3 // wAVE cYAN
Fifth Generation ODS™
Introducing Generation Five of 6D's Omni-Directional Suspension™ Technology. Our most advanced system to date, designed for today’s extreme racing conditions. The enhanced system is more efficient, lighter, and freer to do its job, effectively mitigating energy transfer from crash impacts.
REBUILDABLE
Like its predecessor, the ATR-3 takes head protection to the next level with its groundbreaking concept of rebuildability. Unlike traditional helmets, which are typically discarded after a significant impact, the ATR-3 is designed to be rebuilt and reused, continuing the legacy of innovation started by the ATR-2.
RAM AIR DIRECT-TO-BROW COOLING
A new feature that enhances airflow and comfort. With newly designed direct channels and improved flow, this system efficiently directs cool air to the brow area and throughout the helmet, ensuring optimal ventilation and temperature regulation during use.
LABORATORY TESTED
LABORATORY TESTED
ANGULAR ACCELERATION
A root cause to brain injury and concussion. Angular acceleration is generated from angled impacts to the helmet’s surface resulting in shearing, tearing and bruising of the soft tissues within the brain.
Broad Range Protection
Most helmet strikes in real-world scenarios are low-threshold energy impacts, which fall below certification pass/fail thresholds but can still cause concussion or more severe injuries. High velocity impacts, with the greatest potential for severe injury, require helmets to work at maximum capacity to ensure the highest level of protection. Therefore, it's crucial to have a helmet that provides comprehensive protection across all impact velocities.
ODS™ FIVE TECHNICAL FEATURES
MULTI-IMPACT OUTER EPP LINER
The multi-impact EPP outer liner is strategically positioned against the helmet shell's inner surface. It is an exceptional energy absorption material designed with "Damping Towers" to provide a progressive spring rate to the suspended inner EPS liner during impacts. This capability, along with the EPP's multi-impact feature, is key in allowing the ATR-3 to be rebuilt.
REPLACEABLE INNER EPS LINER
The inner EPS liner is a crucial component of the ODS™ design, acting as the primary layer of defense. It functions as a helmet within a helmet. This inner liner nestles into the ODS™ carrier, offering strength and integrity to the EPS while reducing angular acceleration forces with its slippery surface.
Air-Gap™ ventilation system with Ram Air Direct-to-Brow Cooling
A new feature that enhances airflow and comfort. With newly designed direct channels and improved flow, this system efficiently directs cool air to the brow area and throughout the helmet, ensuring optimal ventilation and temperature regulation during use.
3K Carbon Composite Shell
The new shell material enables a 3K Carbon Fiber outer layer while maintaining 6D's renowned durability. The 6D 'Optimized Shell Design' concept uses multiple materials to enhance protection and energy management. The shell must prevent penetration without being overly stiff, as excessive stiffness impairs energy management.
ODS 5 Isolation Dampers
Isolation Dampers connect the ODS™ carrier to the outer EPP liner, isolating impact forces from the brain. This new design features longer and more elastic dampers that require no gluing. Their unique shape provides progressive resistance to assist in managing the onset of angular acceleration, then subsequently returning the liner to its neutral position.
EPP CHINBAR
The EPP lined chinbar is thicker and has a lower density, offering increased durability and enhanced energy absorption for side impacts to the jaw area. It is equipped with a polyurethane over-molded sternum pad.
Additional Safety features
The new ATR-3 helmet incorporates several additional safety features. The chinbar has a clavicle cutout for more collarbone clearance, while the Cervical Protection Zone at the lower rear base provides extra crushable protection for the neck and spine in the event of downward and backward impacts. Additionally, shear-away visor screws enable the visor to break away during severe crashes.
ODS™ CARRIER
The new ODS™ carrier is lighter and simplified. It enables a modular helmet design that is easily rebuildable. It supports the isolation dampers, manages materials during impact, and recenters post-impact.
