Newton-Rider N1neo: Materials, Design & Safety
The Newton-Rider N1neo is a next-generation commuter helmet that moves beyond rigid EPS foam designs. It uses a three-layer, semi-soft flexible protection system combining:
- Hard polycarbonate outer shell for durability and abrasion resistance
- Advanced impact-absorbing polymers that manage energy across different crash intensities
- Non-Newtonian insert cores that dynamically dissipate and absorb energy for added protection
Together, these layers enable linear protection—reducing peak forces over a wider impact range to help protect against concussions, not just catastrophic events.
Key Features
- Slim profile: ~18–20 mm—with foldability for shoulder/laptop bags (or the N/contour backpack)
- Multi-impact capable: engineered to withstand multiple impacts without losing protective performance
- Independently tested to EN 1078 protocols: results show ~24–52% better than threshold values across flat/kerb anvils in hot, cold, and moist conditions
- Made in Europe
The N1neo suits all cyclists—including e-bike and e-scooter riders—who want modern style, comfort, and protection in daily urban use.
Designed to meet EN 1078. Independent testing performed to EN 1078 protocols; official certification is aligned with production start.
