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 is the most innovative bicycle helmet, introducing the first semi-soft and flexible design with linear protection, tested under all EN 1078 protocol conditions.

See why the N1neo’s linear protection and sleek form factor set it apart.


Three-layer, semi-soft flexible system: hard polycarbonate shell, advanced impact-absorbing polymers, and non-Newtonian inserts. No hard, rigid EPS.

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.
