Linear Protection™ is Newton-Rider’s patented helmet architecture — designed to manage both linear and rotational impact forces through its flexible multi-pad construction.

The Newton-Rider N1neo blends minimalist urban style with impact performance exceeding EN 1078 minimum requirements. Its semi-soft, flexible build ensures both comfort and high protection, with all EN 1078 protocol tests passed.

Key takeaway: Linear Protection™ isn’t “only linear.” It continuously absorbs energy from low to high forces and intrinsically reduces rotational acceleration via the N1neo’s independent pads and flexible liner — no bolt-on slip liners required.
