DIRT PRODUCTS
HIT A NEW LEVEL
Pictured here is the new ATR-2, offering the next level in brain
protection. We’re promised the 6D ATR-2 is the most advanced
energy management device ever manufactured for off-road
motorcycle competition or recreational riding. Infused with
the exceptional design DNA of the original ODS technology, as
delivered with the ATR-1, it’s now evolved to a whole new level
with high-tech materials and design influenced by work inside
the NFL’s Head Health Challenge III competition.
