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.
