Linear 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 Protection™ isn’t “only linear.” It continuously absorbs energy from low to high forces and intrinsically reduces rotational acceleration via the N1neo’s independent pads and flexible liner — no bolt-on slip liners required.
