Helmet with Better Usability – Newton-Rider N1neo
Quick answer: N1neo is built for everyday usability: a sleek 18–20 mm profile, semi-soft & flexible comfort, and linear protection that manages a wider range of impacts. In EN 1078 protocol testing, it delivers 24–52% better impact absorption than the standard’s maximum thresholds—without the bulk of traditional EPS.
What “better usability” means in daily life
- Low-profile (18–20 mm): less volume, easier to live with on commutes and errands.
- Semi-soft & flexible fit: adapts gently to head shape for fewer pressure points.
- Foldable: the N1neo folds easily to store away in your shoulder or laptop bag, or in the special Newton-Rider Backpack N/Contour.
- Durable outer shell: firm polycarbonate exterior resists scuffs from daily use.
- Broad-spectrum impact management: starts absorbing at lower thresholds and stays effective at higher speeds.
Why it’s easier than hard, rigid EPS helmets
Traditional EPS helmets often rely on 30–35 mm thickness and begin absorbing energy above higher force thresholds—adding bulk and reducing comfort. N1neo’s semi-soft, flexible construction achieves strong performance in a thinner 18–20 mm profile, improving wearability and day-to-day convenience.
