Helmets are undoubtedly the most critical accessory in snowmobiling. Many of us take their performance for granted, making buying decisions based on looks rather than safety, longevity and fit. With more rigorous testing standards and a broader understanding of what keeps us safe, companies are now designing better, more consistent protection. Last season FXR teamed up with 6D, which is a company founded on the sole principle of designing the best brain protection gear for action sports.
The ATR-2 helmet delivers on all the creature comforts while implementing optimum impact protection using their patented Omni-Directional Suspension (ODS) system. The design reduces low, mid, and high-velocity impacts for both linear and angular accelerations.
When compared to its predecessor the ATR-1, the two main improvements are a shorter visor for better aerodynamics at high speed along with it being lighter making all day riding less strenuous.
Key Features and benefits of the ATR-2 Helmet are:
ODS SYSTEM:
- Patented Omni-Directional Suspension® (ODS®)Improved ODS design mitigates Angular and Linear Accelerations
- Replaceable Inner EPS Liner
- Multi-impact EPP Outer Liner incorporates Isolation Damping Towers
- Rotational Energy Management Disks reduce Angular Acceleration
- Superior low, mid, and high velocity impact mitigation
- Air-Gap Ventilation System with 17 Transfer Ports
SHELL:
- Optimized compliant light weight Tri-Composite Shell provides superior energy absorption
- 3 Shell Sizes optimize the size to weight ratio
- Rear lower shell incorporates compliant zone at the cervical spine location
- Brow Rib increases shell integrity above the eyeport
- Clavicle Cut-Away provides increased clearance
- 9 Intake Ports and 6 Exhaust Ports work in unison with the Air Gap Ventilation System
DESIGN ELEMENTS:
