6D®’s revolutionary Omni-Directional Suspension (ODS®) technology is the key to what sets the 6D apart from any other helmet or helmet technology available. ODS reduces energy transfer to the brain by means of its suspended inner liner’s ability to displace 3-dimensionally during any given impact event. 6D’s ODS technology is so impressive in fact, that it was selected as a first round winner in the NFL’s Head Health Challenge III Material Safety Grant program.

LOW-THRESHOLD ENERGY Recent medical research has provided alarming conclusions surrounding the causes, severity, and long-term effects of concussions. We now know that even seemingly minor concussions may have much more serious long-term effects on the brain. To meet the high certification test velocities, conventional helmets are simply too stiff to effectively absorb energy from impacts at lower velocities. The majority of crashes are what we qualify as Low-threshold energy impacts; impacts well below the pass/fail certification test velocities, but above the velocity required to sustain a concussion. ODS starts working the instant any force is applied to the shell, making the helmet more compliant and progressive on the highest percentage of ‘real world’ crash impacts.

ANGULAR ACCELERATION Angular acceleration (rotational force) is generated from oblique angle impacts to the helmet surface, resulting in shearing, tearing, and compressions of the brain within the skull. The medical community has determined that angular acceleration is the primary cause of concussion and traumatic brain injury. Laboratory testing has proven that a helmeted head sustained the same degree of angular acceleration as the un-helmeted head when subjected to identical impacts*. This is because in a helmet of traditional design, the helmet is directly “coupled” to the wearer’s head. ODS “uncouples” that relationship. The suspended multi-liner assembly compresses and shears omni3 m/sec directionally when subjected to impact, thereby significantly reducing the transfer of angular acceleration to the head and brain.

TIME-TO-PEAK (TTP) TTP is the measurement of time (in milliseconds) it takes the energy of an impact to reach maximum (peak) G force. Deceleration time is the single most beneficial component of reducing the severity and magnitude of any impact. The more time, the less severe the energy transfer will become. 6D’s exceptional ODS technology buys time. Time To Peak (TTP) Accelerations / 4 m/sec / ATB-1T Front
6D ATB-1T $249.95 First introduced in 2016, the ATB-1T is the world’s first ¾ coverage helmet with ODS technology. An engineering masterpiece, the ATB-1T has been painstakingly crafted to deliver all of the exceptional benefits of ODS into a more effective protective device. The ATB-1T reduces angular acceleration energy transfer by means of the 3-dimensional displacement capability of ODS when subject to impacts. Lowthreshold energy accelerations are also dramatically reduced providing a more forgiving helmet over a much broader range of energy demands. In our on-going relentless pursuit of brain protection, for 2017 we further refined the helmet providing significant improvements in performance. The ATB-1T is certified to exceed both the EN 1078 and CPSC 16CFR 1203 standards.
NEW: Increased Travel; the ODS system’s travel has been increased to allow for greater 3-dimensional displacement in compression, shear, and rotation when called upon. Softer Dual-Density EPS; a firmer in-molded outer EPS liner improves high-energy impact management while placing a softer more compliant inner EPS liner against the riders head. Increased EPS Volume; strategically placed islands rise-up from the inner EPS outer surface to provide improved energy absorbing capability. Re-Engineered ODS Carrier; Lighter, thinner, and smoother inner carrier is designed to maximize overall helmet performance. New Low-Friction Disks; these damper caps further uncouple the two liners providing significantly improved freedom in shear. New Dampers; there are now two different elastomeric isolation damper designs utilized within the technology: ‘Crown’ Dampers, on the upper-portion of the technology improve suspension and damping characteristics. ‘Ring’ Dampers, on the lower-perimeter ring provide improved performance in shear.
