Its aerodynamic shape reduces drag and wind noise, enhancing the overall riding experience and its outer shell is constructed from a composite blend of carbon fiber and Kevlar, which not only ensures a lightweight construction but also delivers superior strength and impact resistance setting the ATR-3 apart from conventional helmets, making it a top choice for riders who prioritize safety without compromising light weight.

At the heart of this helmet’s safety features is the patented ODS (Omni-Directional Suspension) technology, which employs a series of dampers that allow the outer shell and inner liner to move independently. In the event of an impact, the ODS system disperses the force across a larger area, reducing the risk of injury. This advanced technology is particularly effective in mitigating rotational forces that can cause brain injuries in the event of collisions.

Comfort is also a critical factor when choosing a helmet, and the 6D ATR-3’s inner liner is designed to provide a snug yet comfortable fit, ensuring it stays securely in place while riding.

Despite its advanced ventilation system, the 6D ATR-3 is designed to minimize wind noise. The aerodynamic shape of the helmet, combined with the strategically placed vents, helps reduce the noise levels, allowing for a quieter and more enjoyable riding experience.

The FXR 6D ATR-3 helmet stands out for its innovative safety features, exceptional comfort, and superior performance. Its advanced materials, coupled with the patented ODS technology, make it one of the safest helmets on the market.

Key Technical Specifications:

  • 3K Carbon Composite Shell
  • Rebuildable Omni-Directional Suspension (ODS)
  • +/- 1350 grams size M/L
  • Exceeds DOT, ECE 22-06, FIM 02, and ACU certification standards
  • 3-year limited warranty

KLIM F3 Carbon Pro Helmet ECE https://www.supertraxmag.com/top-gear/klim-f3-carbon-pro-helmet-ece/ https://www.supertraxmag.com/top-gear/klim-f3-carbon-pro-helmet-ece/#respond Fri, 15 Mar 2024 10:00:00 +0000 https://www.supertraxmag.com/?p=16054 The KLIM F3 Carbon Pro Helmet ECE represents a new level in snowmobile helmet engineering redefining conventional notions of lightweight and safety and has been engineered to reduce fatigue and enhance comfort during every ride by integrating cutting-edge technologies to provide unparalleled protection and performance.

At the core of its design is Koroyd, which is an energy-absorbing material engineered to revolutionize impact protection. Unlike traditional materials, Koroyd uniformly crushes upon impact, effectively decelerating energy in a controlled manner to ensure superior impact absorption.

Constructed with ultralight hand-laid carbon fiber, the F3 Carbon Pro Helmet strikes a balance between strength and weight to ensure optimal shell thickness and resin distribution, resulting in a helmet that is not only one of the lightest in its class but also among the safest.

The helmet’s visor is designed to enhance field of view while simultaneously improving aerodynamics and strength and its extra-large eye port provides maximum vision for the wearer. It also features a Fid-lock quick-release strap to ensure hassle-free helmet removal and its high-efficiency ventilation system, comprised of 13 intake vents and 6 exhaust vents, optimizes airflow for enhanced comfort during extended rides.

With its innovative technologies, meticulous construction, and emphasis on rider comfort, the KLIM F3 Carbon Pro Helmet represents a new level in helmet design and offers snowmobilers the assurance that they’ll be protected and comfortable on every ride.

FXR ATR-2 HELMET https://www.supertraxmag.com/top-gear/fxr-atr-2-helmet/ https://www.supertraxmag.com/top-gear/fxr-atr-2-helmet/#respond Mon, 09 Jan 2023 15:21:03 +0000 https://www.supertraxmag.com/?p=15048 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:

  • Removable, washable comfort liner features Genuine Dri-Lex® anti-bacterial fabric
  • Emergency Quick-Release Cheek Pads
  • PU-over molded EPP lined chin bar includes Sternum Pad
  • Goggle band integrated shell recess at the eyeport area, improves goggle fit and seal
  • Shear-Away Visor Screws designed to reduce, angular acceleration potential
  • Nose guard provides improved roost protection
  • Titanium D-Rings
  • Light weight with improved center of gravity (+ / – 1480 grams Size M)
  • Exceeds DOT, ECE, ACU and ASTM Standards
  • 3-Year Limited Warranty
  • Available in 8 colourways

FXR BOOST X JACKET https://www.supertraxmag.com/top-gear/fxr-boost-x-jacket/ https://www.supertraxmag.com/top-gear/fxr-boost-x-jacket/#respond Fri, 29 Dec 2017 06:00:00 +0000 https://new.supertraxmag.com/uncategorized/fxr-boost-x-jacket/ Cool casual style meets technical outerwear. That’s the best way we can describe the Boost X jacket from FXR.

As one of our favorite jackets from FXR, the Boost X jacket has kept us warm, dry and looking great. The bomber style cut provides a comfortable fit with plenty of room for movement in the arms and shoulders.

Its combo layering system provides what we feel is the best combination of warmth ratings. On really cold riding days, the thick insulated liner keeps you toasty warm. Come the longer days of sunlight in March, you have the option of zipping out the liner completely or opening up vents to moderate your heat level.

On days when the snow is plenty and deep the Boost X Jacket really comes into its own. The adjustable shock cord hem provides a tight seal across your torso and the lycra hand cuff extensions prevent any snow or drafts from getting underneath the jacket.

When needing to take a break with your helmet off, the removable and adjustable hood works perfect from keeping your head dry and all the pockets from large side ones to strategically placed arm and chest pockets keeps all your essential belongings safe and in place.

The Boost X Jacket is available in 9 color combinations and because we like this jacket so much, we’re giving one away. To enter go to supertraxmag.com/fxr
