What’s Happening at Gorilla Brakes: 2025 to 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 Racing 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.
