This is almost a no-brainer. Californian awardwinning<br />
firm 6D have delivered a youth version<br />
of their latest ATR-2 off-road helmet and<br />
any parent with a youngster discovering (or<br />
racing) two-wheels needs to seriously consider<br />
their next helmet purchase. The ATR-2Y<br />
boasts the same Omni-Directional system as<br />
it’s senior brother; a form of engineering that<br />
6D claim is ‘the next level in brain protection’.<br />
The ATR-2 was a step forward from the gamechanging<br />
ATR-1 thanks to the new outer liner<br />
and the changeable inner liner that allowed<br />
even more protection against linear and angular<br />
acceleration and the kinds of impact that<br />
ultimately lead to concussion and more serious<br />
ailments.<br />
The ATR-2Y has the same refined shell and<br />
the upgrades across most of the helmet, such<br />
as the reinforced brow rib and cervical protection<br />
zone. In addition 6D say it ‘features<br />
a removable, washable comfort liner with a<br />
genuine DriLex antibacterial fabric, as well<br />
as 16 transfer ports and 6 exhaust ports that<br />
work in unison with the Air Gap Ventilation<br />
System to keep the rider cool.’ There are four<br />
Youth shell sizes from Small to XL. You won’t<br />
spend a better 450 dollars for the mini rider<br />
in the family.
