Though the first helmet question should ask how well it protects, I'll ask the 2nd and 3rd questions: How much does it cost and how much does it weigh. Since the cost and weight aren't mentioned in the above link or their website, I'll guess: Expensive and not the lightest....

Weight was somewhere , I read 1490g

Price is listed on the 6D webpage. Yes, it is expensive 745.00USD.

Here is the link to the Cycle News Article with the link to the 6D webpage.(I hope this link works.)

Wonder if it feels loose on your head?

Sorbothane would make a great canditate for helmets

Yikes! I think Thor carbon/kevlar is about 1200g and Airoh helmets are 1000g
