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:
6D Helmets, LLC
Attn: Crash Inspection
2861 Saturn St. Unit B
Brea, CA 92821
