Your safety is our business
Rider safety has always been number one priority. The Newlane Helmet has been certified to EN 1078 - The European Safety Standard.
We've been developing it for more than six years with a team of specialist designers and engineers in the UK and around the world. Together they’ve ensured every single component of the helmet is as robust as possible.
We have chosen to manufacture the helmet in the UK to ensure it’s built with precision and it's of the highest quality.
How the helmet is tested
To pass the EN 1078 standard helmets are put through a series of tests that mimic cycling accidents. These high speed impacts are on the front, back, sides and crown of the helmet, using flat and kerbstone steel anvils.
When impacted, the helmet must not allow a force of more than 250G to reach the head-form (G is the measure of gravitational force exerted). The Newlane Helmet averages an impact result of 134G, which is well below that number (and many other traditional helmets).
All these tests are carried out after the helmets are heated up (+50 degrees), cooled down (-20 degrees) or aged under UV light. This ensures they offer protection in all kinds of conditions.
