Are semi-soft and flexible helmets better than hard and rigid EPS helmets?
Semi-soft helmets start absorbing impacts earlier, giving more consistent protection across crash types.
Semi-soft and flexible helmets can offer more consistent protection across various impact speeds and crash scenarios than rigid helmets. This is called linear protection, as it starts absorbing impact forces at a lower threshold than traditional EPS helmets. The N1neo demonstrates this advantage through test results showing superior absorption across a broader impact spectrum while still complying with all EN 1078 protocol tests.
