The NEON Smart Helmet By Unit 1 is launching soon, designed to break every trade-off in helmet design. Tested by Virginia Tech, NEON ranked #28 out of 281 helmets with a 5-star rating, while its sibling helmet AURA sits at #17. Together, they hold the #1 and #2 spots in Smart Helmets and place in the Top 5 of all urban helmets tested.
NEON is more than just protection—it’s smarter visibility and safety. It features a bright 180° rear light, turn signals, and automatic brake lights (with the UNIT 1 Remote, sold separately). The helmet is NTA-certified for e-bike protection and includes Crash Alert through the UNIT 1 app, automatically notifying emergency contacts after an accident.
Customization is central to the design. NEON supports magnetic visors for day, night, and adaptive riding, rain plugs for wet conditions, and a winter liner for warmth. Every component is modular, so parts can be replaced individually to extend the helmet’s life.
Key specs:
- MIPS system, magnetic buckle, modular build
- IP-67 water resistance, 3–30h battery life
- 430–490g weight (depending on size)
- Certified under NTA-8776, EN-1078, and CPSC standards
NEON comes in five colors—Charcoal Black, Mineral Gray, Slate Gray, Pine Green, and Steel Blue—alongside add-ons for ultimate personalization. A streamlined SE version is also available, with a lighter build but fewer features.
The NEON Smart Helmet is built for urban riders, e-bikers, and anyone who wants safety without compromise. Launching in just days, this “impossible” helmet sets a new benchmark in performance and design.
