Brea, California based 6D Helmets' new ATS-1R performance street motorcycle helmet features an advanced version of their respected Omni-Directional Suspension (ODS) technology.
"The ATS-1R is a very special helmet. We've been working with professional athletes Kyle Wyman and Sammy Halbert for about five years by now, and they've both played a major role in what the '1R' has become," said Bob Weber, 6D's CEO and co-founder.
"We're a racing committed company, driving safety in everything we do. The original 6D ATS-1 was the first street helmet incorporating technology designed to mitigate angular acceleration force while simultaneously improving linear acceleration performance during an impact event, positioning the helmet as the leader in safety performance when compared to other top brands in the market."
The ATS-1R has been "aggressively re-engineered to further improve the excellent energy mitigation performance of the helmet while also improving the fit, comfort and aerodynamics". Overall weight has been reduced by greater than 10%, while the shield mechanism, sealing characteristics and operation were also improved.
In addition to its patented, advanced ODS energy management technology, the ATS-1R features a lightweight 3K carbon fibre shell, an" aggressive ventilation system" (with four adjustable intake vents, fifteen transfer ports and five exhaust ports), and an array of tinted shields, tear-offs and Pinlock inserts.
The helmet's interior environment features emergency removable cheek pads, a convertible base liner (for superior ventilation during hot summer months), recessed speaker pockets and eyewear- friendly cheek pads. "Two exciting new graphics in three colourways each highlight the new designs, while the traditional gloss and matt finish carbon fibre models round out the current offerings".
The 6D line is available in Europe through distributors, including TMV in the Netherlands.
