Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Helmets. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of 6D ATR-2 Circuit Helmet 2018.

The first thing is material. Looking at what 6D ATR-2 Circuit Helmet 2018 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Helmets. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Helmets. Brands like 6D are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Helmets category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.


Comparing Prices

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Helmets.

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

  • Description: 6D ATR-2 Circuit HelmetWhether you love riding downhill, enduro or simply breathing in everything the trail has to offer the ATR-2 Circuit Helmet is the next level of brain protection to keep you protected throughout your session. A technical helmet jam-packed with safety features, 6D’s impressive creation is race proven and its extremely lightweight design lends itself to all-day comfort and unrivalled performance.Protection PersonifiedThe idea of offroad protection has now been redefined, and the ATR-2 Helmet has certainly set the benchmark for the rest of the competition. Infused with the outstanding ODS technology the ATR-2 is the most advanced energy management device ever and an Omni-Directional Suspension system ensures safety is the name of the game. Using elastomeric isolation dampers it reduces the transfer of the angular acceleration energy to the brain should you suffer an unexpected fall from the bike. Placed between two expanded EPS liners they compress and sheer upon impact to keep your head protected from the first pedal until the last.Ultralight PerformanceExtremely light, the ATR-2 is highly breathable and welcomes an incredible flow of air around your head to keep its pilots cool and fresh. Ensuring sweat and odours are avoided, the air gap ventilation system has an impressive 17 transfer ports (9 intake and 6 exhaust) to ensure exploding into berms doesn’t take its toll.  Providing the first line of defence against the beaten path, 6D’s EPS liner ensures that the ATR-2 has what some can consider a helmet inside a helmet. There are emergency quick-release cheek pads that can be removed easily and the PU-over molded EPP lined chin bar includes a sternum pad to make it one of the most protective helmets on the market.Unrivalled SafetyBoasting a large number of worldwide patents, the ATR-2 has a lightweight tri-composite shell that absorbs energy upon impacts. The rear lower shell incorporates compliant zones at the cervical spine location and a brow rib allows for integrity of the shell above your eye port. Ideal for shredding hard and kicking up roost, this stylish lid has a superior low, mid and high velocity impact mitigation and its rotational energy management disks work to reduce angular accelerations. Exceeding important MTB standards, the ATR-2 protects from roost thanks to the nose guard and the clavicle cut-away provides an increased clearance.Should you wish to add an extra level of protection to your ride you can shield your eyes from roost easily thanks to the goggle band integrated shell recess at the eye port. Improving the fit and seal of your googles, they maintain their positioning no matter how hard you pedal towards kickers.Thanks to unrivalled safety, high-end performance and a design so lightweight you’ll forget its even there, the ATR-2 Circuit Helmet is a must for offroad aficionados who love exploring the beaten path.Features – Helmet:Removable, washable comfort liner features Genuine Dri-Lex® anti-bacterial fabricEmergency Quick-Release Cheek PadsPU-over molded EPP lined chin bar includes Sternum PadGoggle band integrated shell recess at the eye port area improves goggle fit and sealShear-Away Visor Screws designed to reduce angular acceleration potentialNose guard provides improved roost protectionTitanium D-RingsLightweight with improved centre of gravity (+/- 1480 grams Size M)Exceeds DOT, ECE, ACU and ASTM Standards3-Year Limited WarrantyFeatures – Rebuildable ODS System:Patented Omni-Directional Suspension® (ODS®)Improved ODS design mitigates Angular and Linear AccelerationsReplaceable Inner EPS LinerMulti-impact EPP Outer Liner incorporates Isolation Damping TowersRotational Energy Management Disks reduce Angular AccelerationSuperior low, mid, and high velocity impact mitigationAir-Gap Ventilation System with 17 Transfer PortsFeatures – Shell:Optimised compliant lightweight Tri-Composite Shell provides superior energy absorption3 Shell Sizes optimize the size to weight ratioRear lower shell incorporates compliant zone at the cervical spine locationBrow Rib increases shell integrity above the eye portClavicle Cut-Away provides increased clearance9 Intake Ports and 6 Exhaust Ports work in unison with the Air Gap Ventilation SystemFeatures – Worldwide Patents:United States US 8,955,169 B2Europe EP 2 672 853 B1China ZL 201280017579.1Patents PendingBuy 6D from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
