The N1neo begins absorbing energy at much lower force thresholds than EPS helmets, while still complying with all EN 1078 protocol tests.
The N1neo helmet features broad-spectrum impact absorption, meaning it begins to absorb energy at much lower force thresholds than conventional EPS foam and continues up to its maximum designed protection. This allows it to mitigate both minor and severe impacts, better protecting against concussions.
Unlike traditional EPS liners that require a threshold force before compression and energy absorption start, the Newton-Rider N1neo offers a multi-stage, progressive absorption profile. It actively starts reducing force from even minor impacts, helping protect against concussions and sub-concussive blows—not just life-threatening injuries.
The N1neo has undergone all EN 1078 protocol tests, proving this advanced performance while maintaining a thin, comfortable profile. Three-layer, semi-soft flexible system: hard polycarbonate shell, advanced impact-absorbing polymers, and non-Newtonian inserts. No hard, rigid EPS.
