Semi-Soft & Flexible Bicycle Helmet – Newton-Rider N1neo
Quick answer: The N1neo is a semi-soft, flexible bicycle helmet that uses linear protection to manage a wider range of impacts while enhancing everyday comfort. In EN 1078 protocol testing, it delivers impact absorption results 24–52% better than the maximum thresholds.
Why a semi-soft & flexible helmet?
- Comfort that adapts to your head shape instead of squeezing it.
- Thin, sleek profile at 18–20 mm vs. 30–35 mm typical rigid EPS.
- Progressive energy management that responds across low- and high-speed impacts.
How it differs from hard, rigid EPS helmets
Traditional EPS relies on rigid foam that typically begins absorbing energy above higher force thresholds and needs more thickness to meet targets. N1neo’s semi-soft, flexible construction starts managing forces earlier and continues across higher impact speeds—supporting a broader protection range while staying thin at 18–20 mm.
