ECE 22.06 & DOT Adventure Helmet with Photochromic Shield and Removable Chin Bar

The CKX Atlas Equinox Adventure Motorcycle Helmet is a highly adaptable dual-sport helmet designed for riders who move between highway, gravel, trails, and changing riding conditions. Designed in-house by CKX specifically for adventure riding, the Atlas combines exceptional visibility, adjustable ventilation, and tool-free configuration changes in one versatile helmet.

Built around a composite fiberglass shell, the Atlas Equinox weighs approximately 1,600 g ± 50 g and meets both ECE 22.06 and DOT motorcycle helmet safety standards. Three shell sizes and four EPS sizes help provide a more proportional fit throughout the size range.

What really separates the Atlas from a conventional adventure helmet is its adaptability. A panoramic photochromic shield automatically responds to changing light, while the pivoting and removable chin bar can be lowered to dramatically increase airflow during hot weather or slower technical riding. The extendable peak offers six adjustment positions across two axes and can be completely removed when desired.

For riders exploring the Yukon, Dempster Highway, Alaska Highway, gravel backroads, or cross-Canada routes, the Atlas Equinox is particularly well suited to rides where terrain, temperature, light, and weather can all change in the same day.

Available in Canada from Yukon Moto Gear & Apparel, the CKX Atlas Equinox brings Canadian-designed adventure versatility to riders who don't want their helmet determining where the road ends.

Panoramic Photochromic Shield

One of the standout features of the Atlas Equinox is its large photochromic shield.

Rather than requiring riders to continually switch between clear and tinted shields as lighting conditions change, the photochromic lens responds to available light to provide improved visual comfort in both brighter and darker conditions.

✔ Pinlock® compatible

✔ Eyeglass compatible

✔ Interchangeable without tools

The Atlas comes standard with the photochromic shield. Clear and smoke replacement shields are also available separately.

Pivoting & Removable Chin Bar

Adventure riding can mean everything from high-speed pavement to slow technical trails.

The Atlas features CKX's distinctive pivoting and removable chin bar, allowing the rider to substantially increase airflow around the mouth when conditions become hot or physically demanding.

✔ Pivoting design

✔ Removable without tools

✔ Increased airflow when lowered

✔ Improved downward and close-range visibility when open

✔ Useful for slow-speed technical riding

CKX notes that riding with the chin bar open and/or without its protective grille is not recommended.

Changing the Atlas configuration doesn't require digging through your luggage for tools.

CKX's patented push-button and ratchet mechanism allows the shield and peak to be removed or changed quickly without tools.

CKX 210° Goggle Compatible

✔ CKX 210° goggle compatible

✔ Wide field of vision

✔ Shield can close over compatible goggles

✔ Excellent for dusty riding conditions
