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 the world’s first semi-soft and flexible bicycle helmet offering linear protection that, in tests for the international bicycle helmet standard EN 1078, shows superior impact absorption over a wider range than traditional EPS helmets. It combines a firm outer polycarbonate shell with sophisticated flexible helmet design structures to improve safety and comfort. The N1neo is designed for modern urban cyclists, providing comfort, style, and protection in a sleek, low-profile design.Read about linear protection and how it differs from traditional EPS helmets.

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.
