6D's game changing "Max" goggle? Debut's Sat night with Freddie Noren

I did two 30's in mine Sunday and it was mid 80s and dusty as hell. I wear contacts and had no issues with anything getting inside. I do feel more protected when getting roosted. Regular goggles ive had dirt sneak into the helmet around the edges of the goggle but I don't think its possible with these. My vampire tear offs are working well with them too.

My Vampire tearoffs just showed up for mine as well. I can’t wait to compare them to the 6D branded laminates. The price point & customer support from Vampire have certainly made them competitive so far. 

I worry about the dust if I run them without the nosepiece to clear my glasses 😬

I could definitely see that being a bit of a concern. As much as I hate my contacts after 30 years, im glad im able to use them instead of glasses. 

I'll be in the market for a new Helmet soon, and the 6D combo interests me - but Big $$$$$ here.

Something I'm surprised by - that they have left the mounting points for Roll Offs still so far onto the lens.

Sure, there (appears,  is claimed, and I Don't doubt it) a bigger peripheral vision available than conventional goggles, but, why not make more of an effort to mount the Roll Off Pods further out on the lens, or better, onto part of the strap? Yes, then std Roll Offs may not fit, but bloody hell, they have already made a system that only works as a  set.

I've got a few goggles set up for Roll Offs, but even with the Decades I've used them ( when needed) the restriction to peripheral vision really takes a bit of adapting to, each time. 

They could do their own, much deeper Roll Off set up ( that does exist from several manufacturers, and bloody hell, they are  FanBloodytastic when you go from the std Roll Offs to those!) for their Helmet / Goggle system. 

I am definitely a fan of my atr3. Feels built for my head. Ive had other high end helmets but overall quality seems better too. 

I do my best to not ride when roll offs are needed. Lol

Just wanted to jump in and thank everyone for all the interest, feedback, questions, and support surrounding the MAX goggle.

To be honest, the excitement and initial demand have even surprised us a bit. We knew people would be curious, but the response has been incredible and we appreciate it. We are currently anticipating a full re-stock in early June.

The main goal with MAX was always improving rider safety. For years we have focused on protecting the head and brain through helmet tech, but the eye port was always one area of the helmet we could never truly protect. In our 15 years, we have seen numerous rider injuries related to objects entering the eye port area.  MAX was developed to help address that by adding protection from roost and debris while also providing additional benefits such as reducing facial pressure, visibility, and overall rider comfort.

That said, we understand goggles are a personal preference. While we believe in what MAX brings to the table and the new rider experience it creates, some riders will prefer the familiarity of a traditional goggle setup, and that’s completely fine.

To clear up a couple availability questions:

• Individual tear-offs are currently in stock and available now
• Laminate tear-offs will be back in stock next week 
• Full re-stock of goggles and lenses arriving in June

Really appreciate everyone taking the time to discuss, debate, question, and try something different. It means a lot to our team.

Another benefit, you don’t need to remove them prior to taking your helmet off. Just leave them on. Brilliant! 

Just leaving the track, which is likely my last ride till the red bud regional due to the amount of rain we'll get this weekend into next week. I did 3 25's tonight and its nice not having sweat logged goggles. No issues with sweat in my eyes or anything either. 

I'm going to run them at the races, which has been a decision I wasnt quite clear on up until my last couple rides. The only reason I was contemplating traditional goggles was simply due to the unfamiliar feeling of nothing touching above my eyebrows. That feeling has pretty much gone away and now when i tried on my traditional goggles, i felt very closed in. Odd how quickly something youve used for over 30 years now feels like its the oddball. Lol

Ive gotten alota questions from people at tracks since i started wearing them and aside from the "dang those are big" comments, my thoughts on them have probably sold a dozen pairs. I showed a guy tonight how they fit into my helmet and he was blown away. Was wearing a different helmet and commented now hes going to upgrade lids and goggles. 

Got and tested mine out today in the desert, it was over 90 degrees. They worked great, the Field of View is as big as a street bike helmet, I pretty much forgot I was wearing googles. No ventilation issues for me either. I sweat a ton usually and the only sweat that got in my goggles was from my hair that was under the goggle.

Im extremely impressed with them.

@6D Helmets  / Derek , I've not yet seen or held these goggles yet so hard to understand if and how they might work for folks who where glasses. Any thoughts on how either glasses or the yousee type lenses are compatible with the Max goggles?

I just had my first ride in them today with glasses. I removed the nosepiece altogether to clear the frames of my glasses. 

Dust was not an issue for me today, even with the nosepiece removed. 

I’ve always felt like the ATR-3 squeezed the arms of my glasses pretty well & kept them snug. Once I tried the Max goggle, I was sadly mistaken. I was only able to ride about 3 laps before my glasses had moved enough that I was looking up & sideways to see. I went back to my 100% OTG for the rest of the day. 

I’m going to try to get a Croakie on my glasses to keep them better secured to my face. Aside from that I was impressed that I never fogged in the Max goggles. 

My buddy crashed in our race today and these goggles cut the bridge of his nose.

I wear glasses normally but contacts under a helmet. Have not had an issue of dirt under the contact yet.
