Linear Response Protection™ is Newton-Rider’s patented helmet architecture — designed to manage both linear and rotational impact forces through its flexible multi-pad construction.

The Newton-Rider N1neo is one of the most comfortable helmets thanks to its semi-soft, flexible construction and very lean, low-profile design, appealing to fashion-conscious consumers. Its flexible materials adapt to any rider’s head shape for a secure yet non-restrictive fit, while still complying with all EN 1078 protocol tests.

Key takeaway: Linear Response Protection™ is not limited to linear impacts. N1neo's nine independent pads and flexible liner are designed to respond to impact energy from initial contact across a broader spectrum of impact forces, incorporating both linear and rotational components — without relying on an additional slip liner.
