Omni-Directional Suspension™ technology is an active, in-helmet suspension and energy management system. The system reduces energy transfer to the brain over a wider range of energy demands, including low, mid, and high-velocity impacts for both linear and angular acceleration. This is achieved through the use of a suspended dual-liner assembly that can displace and shear in any direction upon impact.
6D Helmets feature a unique rebuildable design. Unlike traditional helmets, they can be inspected and easily rebuilt with new parts after an impact. No need to buy a new helmet – just send it back to 6D for replacement and rebuilding. This cost-effective solution allows you to keep using the same helmet you're comfortable with, providing both top-tier protection and the reassurance of rebuildability.
The Rebuild Program offered by 6D is designed to provide customers with an affordable option for repairing their helmets damaged in a crash. To qualify for the program, the helmet's external shell must pass 6D's engineers' inspection process. Here are the details and requirements of the program:
The customer is responsible for returning the helmet to 6D for inspection and rebuild, covering the shipping expenses.
Not all helmets will be eligible for rebuild; eligibility is determined through inspection.
ATR-1 Helmets can be inspected (and encouraged to send in after severe impacts) but are not eligible for rebuild.
When sending the crashed helmet, please include the rider's personal contact information (name, phone number, and email).
Exclude the comfort liner, cheek pads, and helmet bag when sending the helmet.
The cost of the rebuild includes $132 for the inner EPS assembly and an additional $50 for a new chin bar if required. Tax and shipping charges apply.
The rebuild cost does not cover new comfort liner, cheek pads, chin strap covers, visor, or other accessories.
The turnaround time for a rebuild is approximately 5-10 business days.
The address to send crashed helmets for inspection is provided as:
