What’s Happening at Gorilla Brakes: 2025–2026 Is Shaping Up to Be Our Biggest Yet

Things are moving fast at Gorilla Brakes, and we’re stoked to share what’s been happening behind the scenes — and what’s just around the corner. From new product launches to international expansion, 2025 has already been a milestone year, and 2026 is shaping up to be even bigger.

🧪 New Product Launches: The Factory Series Is Here

This year we launched two game-changing performance ranges under our Factory Racing label:

✅ Factory Organic Disc Brake Pads
Built for serious riders who demand precise modulation, low noise, and max bite across all conditions. These are our most advanced organic compounds yet — tested, tweaked, and proven on the trail.

🔩 Factory Titanium Disc Brake Pads
Pro-level heat dissipation and weight savings in one sleek package. Our titanium-backed pads are built for enduro, downhill, and high-intensity racing applications.

🛠 Coming August 2025: Factory Racing STEEL
We’re bringing the same high-performance compound from our titanium pads to a more accessible steel-backed version. Same power. Lower price. Stay tuned — testing wraps up this summer.

❌ Product Updates: Streamlining Our Range

We’re constantly refining our lineup to focus on what riders actually want. That’s why we’ll be discontinuing some of our sintered compounds and aluminium-backed brake pads for Shimano systems over the coming months.

But don’t worry — new and improved compounds are already in development, with better value, increased durability, and performance that lives up to the Gorilla name.

🌍 Going Global: US and EU Expansion

We’ve officially expanded to the United States via Amazon, giving American riders faster access and Prime delivery options.

And starting November 2025, we’re opening our brand-new EU warehouse — making it cheaper and quicker for riders across Europe to get their hands on Gorilla Brakes products without border delays or high shipping costs.

🤝 HEL Performance x Gorilla Brakes

Earlier this year, we partnered with HEL Performance as their official brake pad supplier for the HEL Advocate Downhill Disc Brake. It’s a perfect match: two performance-obsessed brands working together to push the limits of braking technology.

🔧 What’s Next?

We’re just getting started. More product drops. More EU access. More rider-first design.
