“I’ve been riding for a long time and have had my fair share of crashes. Out of all those wrecks, I’ve never walked away as easily as I did while wearing a 6D helmet. The AT-3 takes it even further—not only does it offer top-tier protection, but it’s so lightweight you can barely feel it on your head. It’s hands-down the best helmet I’ve ever worn.”

Great tech, lightweight!

Really like the quality and fit of the helmet. Can't want to get out and try it out on the trails. I hope I never try it with an impact, but if I do, I am very confident my 6D helmet will protect my noggin.

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.

I'm writing this review from an EMS provider point of view. I worked the GNCC race today and had a patient hit a tree head on with direct impact on the top of the helmet at the back of the visor. IT WORKS!!! The impact was hard enough to crack the helmet. Patient had no loss of consciousness. Head CT scan was clear. Unfortunately patient did have a C2 fracture and multiple thoracic spine fractures. With an impact directly to the top of the skull hard enough to cause those injuries with no loss of consciousness and a clear CT is proof that it works. And being a rider myself I'm going to look into getting one for myself and I'm going to be recommending them to everyone.

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.

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.
