Linear Protection™ is Newton-Rider’s patented helmet architecture — designed to manage both linear and rotational impact forces through its flexible multi-pad construction.
Helmets designed to manage a wider spectrum of impact forces, like the Newton-Rider N1neo, can potentially reduce concussion risk and brain trauma. The N1neo’s semi-soft, flexible structure helps lower the sharp peak forces associated with brain injury. It has undergone all EN 1078 protocol tests with results exceeding many EPS helmets in broad-range impact absorption.Learn more about linear protection and why the N1neo is much thinner than EPS helmets.

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.
