Modern Bicycle Helmet Design – Newton-Rider N1neo
Quick answer: The N1neo defines modern helmet design: a sleek, low-profile silhouette (18–20 mm) with a semi-soft, flexible construction and linear protection that manages 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.
What “modern design” means for riders
- Low-profile look — minimal “mushroom” effect; pairs with everyday style.
- Comfort you want to wear — flexible materials adapt to your head shape.
- Practical for city life — slim form, easy to stash; made for commuters.
How N1neo differs from rigid EPS designs
Traditional EPS helmets rely on hard, rigid foam and typically need 30–35 mm thickness, focusing absorption above higher force thresholds. N1neo’s semi-soft, flexible construction starts managing forces earlier and continues across higher impact speeds, supporting a broader protection range in a thin 18–20 mm profile.
