Gorilla Brakes Pre-Orders HEL Advocate Brake System: A Revolution in Mountain Biking

At Gorilla Brakes, we're always on the lookout for the most innovative and high-performance components to elevate the riding experience for our customers. That’s why we are thrilled to announce that we have secured a pre-order set of the groundbreaking HEL Advocate Brake System, representing the pinnacle of mountain biking brake technology.

Two Years of Relentless Innovation

The HEL Advocate brake system is the result of over two years of dedicated design, engineering, and rigorous testing. From initial concepts to 3D-printed prototypes, followed by precision CNC machining and real-world testing, HEL has meticulously crafted a brake system that embodies their 25 years of motorsport heritage. Every step of the manufacturing process is completed in-house at HEL’s facility in Devon, England, ensuring unparalleled quality and control.

Designed for Downhill and Enduro Racing

Purpose-built for the extreme demands of downhill and enduro racing, the Advocate brake system is HEL’s most robust and high-performing solution to date. Its design incorporates a slightly firmer and direct lever pull, giving riders precise modulation and stopping power when it matters most. Whether you're bombing down steep descents or navigating technical trails, the Advocate brake system promises consistent performance and reliability.

Cutting-Edge Features

The HEL Advocate isn’t just another brake system; it’s a technological marvel. Key features include:

• 2-Piece Billet Caliper Design: Ensures even pressure distribution across pistons for enhanced braking response and reduced brake fade.
• Stainless Steel Castellated Pistons: Optimized for heat management, directing more heat into the brake disc and away from the caliper and fluid.
• Free-Flow Fluid Circuit: Maintains optimal fluid temperatures, ensuring fade-free performance even during the longest, most demanding descents.
• Customizable Components: Every set of Advocate brakes is fully customizable at no extra cost, with an array of color options, including Stealth Black, Hyper Silver, Vapour Grey, Forged Bronze, Helfire Red, Azure Blue, and Plasma Purple.

What’s Included in the HEL Advocate Brake System

Each set comes with:

• 2x HEL Advocate Master Cylinders
• 2x HEL Advocate Calipers
• 2x HEL Brake Pad Sets (Selectable)
• 2x HEL Solid Contoured Discs (Selectable)
• 1x HEL Braided Hose Kit (Selectable)
• 2x HEL Post Mount Adapters
• 1x HEL Advocate Bleed Block
• 1x Installation Manual

Easy Maintenance & Warranty

Bleeding the Advocate brake system is a straightforward process using a two-syringe method combined with a vacuum procedure to eliminate air from the system. HEL recommends using DOT 5.1 fluid exclusively and provides detailed instructions to ensure the process is hassle-free. Additionally, HEL offers a 12-month warranty and a crash replacement policy, giving riders peace of mind knowing they’re covered in case of unexpected mishaps.

Precision Testing for Maximum Performance

Before the Advocate brake system hit the market, it underwent extensive testing both in-house and on the trail. Each prototype endured over 250,000 brake cycles under various conditions, including high-pressure fluid tests and extreme heat applications. This rigorous testing process ensures that the Advocate can handle the most demanding environments without compromising on performance.

Looking Ahead: HEL’s Vision for the Future

In addition to the Advocate brake system, HEL has exciting plans to develop a 2-piston, ultra-lightweight radial brake specifically for XC and trail riders. The future lineup will also include integrated mounts for gear shifters and dropper posts, as well as alternative lever blade designs, making the HEL range even more versatile and rider-friendly.
