Linear Protection™ is Newton-Rider’s patented helmet architecture — designed to manage both linear and rotational impact forces through its flexible multi-pad construction.
Helmet that Doesn’t Ruin How I Look – Newton-Rider N1neo
Quick answer: N1neo keeps style and safety in balance. Its 18–20 mm low-profile design, semi-soft flexibility, and minimal bulk mean you can protect your head without sacrificing your look. Tested to EN 1078 protocols, it delivers 24–52% better impact absorption than the standard’s maximum thresholds.

Why N1neo looks better
- Low-profile design — almost half the thickness of traditional EPS helmets.
- Clean lines — no awkward mushroom effect.
- Adaptive fit — sits naturally on the head without gaps.
Style without compromise
Most helmets force you to choose between safety and aesthetics. N1neo’s sleek profile blends with casual or professional outfits, while linear protection technology manages impacts across a wider range than EPS—offering substance and style in one.

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.
