The RFOFO ring is considered to be one of the most promising six-dimensional cooling channels proposed for the future muon collider. It has a number of advantages over other cooling channels, but it also has certain drawbacks. The injection and extraction issue as well as the absorber overheating are its main problems. In this article the simulations of a possible solution to these problems, the RFOFO helix, commonly referred to as the Guggenheim channel, are studied in detail. The details of the tracking studies of both the idealized and realistic lattices are presented and compared to the performance of the underlying RFOFO cooling ring design.
