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

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 BLADE CARBON RACE DIVISION HELMET https://www.supertraxmag.com/top-gear/fxr-blade-carbon-race-division-helmet/ https://www.supertraxmag.com/top-gear/fxr-blade-carbon-race-division-helmet/#respond Mon, 12 Feb 2018 06:00:00 +0000 https://new.supertraxmag.com/uncategorized/fxr-blade-carbon-race-division-helmet/ FXR’s latest carbon helmet comes with the designation of Race Division being tied to it.

The race track is the place where the highest technology is used to gain advantages on your competition.

In the case of performance riders looking for the ultimate in lightweight protection we all agree FXR’s newest Blade Carbon helmet is victorious.

In what is often sacrificed with other carbon helmets the new Blade Carbon helmet maintains a high degree of comfort with zonal and progressive density padding around your head and cheeks.

The dual density EPS liner protects your head on large impacts and the rear diffuser has been tuned to better transfer load to compatible neck braces.

The quick-release buckle is something we’ve all come to love, not only for its ease of use but also the convenience it provides when wearing thicker gloves.

The hand laid 100% carbon fiber shell helmet weighed in at 2.5 lbs on our scale and the feel when wearing it can best be described as feather light.

One of the areas often not appreciated enough is the peak. A soft rubber bumper is laid across the top peak for protection and durability and significant work went into the shape of the peak with ultra hi-flow cutouts that significantly reduce drag at high speeds while maintaining really good protection from snow and roost.

The front nose also features and extended rubber guard for protection but still maintains plenty of room for goggles with nose peaks and larger breath guards should you choose to not use the supplied breath box.

2018 CKX TITAN HELMET https://www.supertraxmag.com/top-gear/2018-ckx-titan-helmet/ https://www.supertraxmag.com/top-gear/2018-ckx-titan-helmet/#respond Fri, 22 Sep 2017 04:00:00 +0000 https://new.supertraxmag.com/uncategorized/2018-ckx-titan-helmet/ Last year, CKX launched the Titan, a unique helmet that combines the features of a backcountry and modular helmet.

For the first time, a helmet benefited from the look and weight of the MX helmets, while enjoying the comfort of a modular helmet.

This year, wishing to improve, the CKX team relied on users’ feedback, research, analyses and tests with numerous snowmobilers to develop the new versions of the CKX TITAN.

While maintaining its signature backcountry look with a retractable and detachable muzzle, as well as the built-in wide-angle (210o) goggle, CKX took on various technical aspects to improve the snowmobiler’s experience in different conditions. We all know that snowmobiling is not the same for everyone.

But what makes the CKX TITAN unique?

– First, there is the muzzle allowing the user to free his face easily.​

– Also the unrivaled goggle with a 210° field of vision. A goggle designed along with the helmet for a perfect fit.

– And it’s a helmet that provides the user a unique quick-attach system (patent pending), allowing the goggles to be placed on top of the helmet to protect them from the elements.
