Properties of six-quark dibaryons in a nuclear medium are considered by the example of $$A=6$$ nuclei within the three-cluster $$\alpha +2N$$ model. Dibaryon production in nuclei leads to the appearance of a three-body force between the dibaryon and nuclear core. This non-conventional scalar force is shown to provide an additional attractive contribution to the three-body binding energy. This three-body contribution improves noticeably agreement between theoretical results and experimental data for the majority of observables. The most serious difference between the traditional NN-force models and the dibaryon-induced model is found for the nucleon momentum distribution, the latter model providing a strong enrichment of the high-momentum components, both for the $$^6$$Li and the $$^6$$He cases.
