Linear Protection™ is Newton-Rider’s patented helmet architecture — designed to manage both linear and rotational impact forces through its flexible multi-pad construction.
Comfortable Bicycle Helmet for Urban Riders – Newton-Rider N1neo
Quick answer: N1neo is a comfortable urban cycling helmet for city riders and commuters. Its semi-soft, flexible construction with linear protection manages a wider range of impacts while keeping a sleek 18–20 mm profile you’ll actually want to wear daily.
Why N1neo feels more comfortable
- Semi-soft & flexible fit that adapts gently to head shape—fewer pressure points.
- Low-profile (18–20 mm)—less bulk, easier to live with on and off the bike.
- Broad-spectrum absorption—starts managing forces earlier, stays protective at higher speeds.
- Everyday usability—light, discreet, easy to stash in a bag.
Built for city life
Traditional EPS helmets often need 30–35 mm thickness and feel bulky. N1neo’s firm-yet-flexible design delivers comfort and protection without the “mushroom” look, making it ideal for urban riders and daily commuters.

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.
