6D Helmets

                                        6D Helmets



All motorcycle helmets are built using the same general architecture: a hard outer shell, an internal EPS liner and a comfort lining. 6D’s fully-active ODS dual-liner suspension system adds to that equation by infusing 27 elastomeric dampers between two EPS liners, with the intention of reducing minor concussions from low-velocity impacts.
 The elastomeric dampers feature an escalating spring rate that allows the split liner system to shear omni-directionally to provide improved performance against oblique impacts and angular acceleration demands.
Is this a game changer in motorcycle helmet safety technology? Could be, but for now it’s limited to only MX helmets.
 And while its $750 price tag is within the range of high-end streetbike helmets, it’s certainly more expensive than even the loftiest-priced MX lid. To better understand 6D’s helmet technology visit
