Low-Profile Cycling Helmet – Newton-Rider N1neo
Quick answer: The N1neo is a sleek, low-profile cycling helmet (18–20 mm) that combines semi-soft, flexible construction with 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 low-profile helmet matters
- Looks clean and modern without the tall “mushroom” profile.
- Feels comfortable for daily rides thanks to flexible materials that adapt to your head.
- Packs easily (foldable storage) for commuters.
How N1neo differs from hard, rigid EPS helmets
Traditional EPS helmets are typically 30–35 mm thick and rely on rigid foam that begins absorbing energy above a higher threshold. N1neo uses a semi-soft, flexible design that starts managing forces at lower thresholds and continues across higher impact speeds, supporting a wider protection range—while staying thin at 18–20 mm. (Tested to EN 1078 protocols; official certification at mass production.)
