Reece Wilson // Aon Racing
Fifth Generation ODS™
The ATB-3 features 6D’s most advanced Omni-Directional Suspension™ system to date. Generation Five ODS is lighter, more responsive, and designed to more effectively manage both linear and rotational impact forces,helping reduce energy transferred to the rider’s head.
RIDER-FOCUSED FIT & EXPANDED FIELD OF VIEW
The ATB-3’s streamlined shell is engineered specifically for cyclists, delivering a lighter, more compact fit without sacrificing strength. A bicycle-specific adjustable visor expands field of view with increased height adjustment, while the refined chin bar enhances visibility without compromising protection.
REBUILDABLE
Like its predecessor, the ATB-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 ATB-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 bicycle-specific EPS design improves airflow and comfort, working with newly engineered direct channels to efficiently move cool air to the brow and throughout the helmet for enhanced ventilation and temperature regulation.

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 ATB-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.
