Linear Response Protection™ is Newton-Rider’s patented helmet architecture — designed to manage both linear and rotational impact forces through its flexible multi-pad construction.
The N1neo achieves a sleek, low-profile thickness of just 18–20 mm—compared to the 30–35 mm typical of traditional EPS helmets—while still complying with all EN 1078 protocol tests. This leap is made possible by Newton-Rider’s superior patented semi-soft and flexible design technology, which absorbs impacts across a wider range while maintaining style and comfort. The reduced volume not only improves aesthetics for fashion-aware cyclists but also enhances comfort and wearability without compromising tested safety performance.Discover the linear protection technology and semi-soft helmet design that make this possible.

Key takeaway: Linear Response Protection™ is not limited to linear impacts. N1neo's nine independent pads and flexible liner are designed to respond to impact energy from initial contact across a broader spectrum of impact forces, incorporating both linear and rotational components — without relying on an additional slip liner.
