Appreciate you getting a ride in them and sharing the feedback. Good call on removing the nose interface that’s definitely an option for clearing glasses. That said, we’ve found most riders using glasses have the best luck slightly modifying the nosepiece by trimming a small section so the bridge of the glasses can sit naturally (a trimming guide for the...
Thanks for the question, for riders running glasses, what we’ve seen so far is that most have had the best success by slightly modifying the nosepiece, typically trimming a small section to allow the bridge of the glasses to sit more naturally (a trimming guide for the goggle nose interface will be available very soon). That tends to relieve pressure...
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...

6D Helmets Added a reply to 6D helmet rebuildin/inspection

All 6D distributors (not dealers) will be trained to do the rebuilds for the ATR-2 in-house. So after a crash you can send it in to your local distributor directly, or through your dealer for a crash inspection. If the helmet is suitable for rebuild, meaning the shell is not compromised in any way, then the helmet can be easily...

Dear Vital Readers, My name is Robert Reisinger and I am the co-founder of 6D Helmets, along with my partner Bob Weber, and I’m the Director of Engineering. When Bob and I started out on the development of the 6D helmet, we had a simple and clear agenda, reduce the amount of energy that is transferred into the ‘headform’ (brain)...

Dear Vital Readers: For those looking for further clarification on the performance of motocross helmets with “technology” you might check this link and download the PDF file. http://www.ircobi.org/wordpress/downloads/ircobi-head-workshop-2015.pdf There is a ton of data within this PDF, all of it very interesting and important, but for specifics on the current crop of available motocross helmets with “technology” scroll down to...

Unfortunately we will not be at all of the regionals, but we will have someone at Loretta’s for sure. Shipping may be your best option, usually UPS standard ground rates are pretty reasonable, and we try to turn the helmets around and get them back out to you as quickly as possible. Give me a call directly and I can...

@drop_the_Beat_Mx Thanks for posting! We’re bummed to hear that you had a chance to test your helmet, but definitely glad it did its job. We do offer an impact inspection service, and strongly recommend that riders send in their helmets immediately following any significant impact. We also have many customers that send their helmets in for a regular checkup at...

6D Helmets Added a reply to 6D fitment procedure questions

1/13/2015 2:41pm
Generally speaking, if you are properly fitted in your current helmet, you will wear the same size in a 6D. We run fairly true to size, if not just a little big, so if you're on the bubble between two sizes, you probably want to go down. As an example, I personally measure at 23 ¼” which is at the...

Generally, yes. We run pretty true to size, if not just a little big. If you are properly fitted in your other helmet, you should be the same size in a 6D. We also offer cheekpads ranging in thickness from 35mm to 55mm, so you have the ability to really dial in the fit of the helmet to suit your...

Dear Vital Readers, My name is Bob Weber and I am one of the cofounders of 6D helmets with my partner Robert Reisinger, who is the engineer on the project. We worked for 2 solid years developing the ODS technology through many challenging issues and at great expense. In response to interest in our test performance at 7.5m/sec, see the...
