They may be relatively new to mountain biking, but 6D’s helmets have been protecting a crop of the world’s best motocross riders for some time.
The Californian company’s new ATB-1T trail lid makes use of the same Omni-Directional Suspension (ODS) technology found in their moto helmets. Essentially, it has two EPS liners that are held apart by 27 elastic dampers, so that in the event of a crash the forces on the lid are separated from the rider’s head.
Aesthetics are a personal thing, but we reckon the shape of the shell combined with the two-tone matt and gloss colours make this a rad-looking lid. The magnetic chin strap closure is a neat feature too.
