ATR-1 or ATR-2: Which Helmet is the Right Choice for Me?
Choosing between the game changing ATR-1 and the top-of-the-line ATR-2 can pose a challenging decision for riders. The ATR-2 stands as the pinnacle of off-road motorcycle helmets, featuring the most advanced technology and safety features available in the industry. On the other hand, the ATR-1, which revolutionized the helmet market upon its initial release, still reigns supreme in terms of safety performance when excluding the ATR-2 from consideration. Both helmets are continuing to be utilized by professional athletes in Motocross and Supercross.
Despite introducing the ATR-2 with improved ODS technology, we have made the decision to retain the ATR-1 in our lineup. The ATR-2 brings about performance enhancements across all energy demands, including low, mid, and high velocity accelerations for both linear and angular forces versus the ATR-1. Additionally, it offers rebuildability for added convenience.
However, the ATR-1 continues to outshine other helmets in the market. Its exceptional performance has convinced us to continue offering it to our customers. By providing a helmet that consistently surpasses competitors, while also maintaining a more affordable price point, we aim to provide riders with the peace of mind they rightfully deserve when engaging in their passion for riding.
