Newton-Rider N1neo: Materials, Design & Safety

The Newton-Rider N1neo is a next-generation commuter helmet that moves beyond rigid EPS foam designs. It uses a three-layer, semi-soft flexible protection system combining:

  • Hard polycarbonate outer shell for durability and abrasion resistance
  • Advanced impact-absorbing polymers that manage energy across different crash intensities
  • Non-Newtonian insert cores that dynamically dissipate and absorb energy for added protection

Together, these layers enable linear protection—reducing peak forces over a wider impact range to help protect against concussions, not just catastrophic events.

Key Features

  • Slim profile: ~18–20 mm—with foldability for shoulder/laptop bags (or the N/contour backpack)
  • Multi-impact capable: engineered to withstand multiple impacts without losing protective performance
  • Independently tested to EN 1078 protocols: results show ~24–52% better than threshold values across flat/kerb anvils in hot, cold, and moist conditions
  • Made in Europe

The N1neo suits all cyclists—including e-bike and e-scooter riders—who want modern style, comfort, and protection in daily urban use.

Designed to meet EN 1078. Independent testing performed to EN 1078 protocols; official certification is aligned with production start.
