PAIRED FOR SUCCESS

We supply the same rotors, pads, and even tools that we use on the trail - making things easier for you and completing the package!

The HEL Advocate brake system represents two years of relentless dedication to design, engineering, and testing. Every step of the process has been brought from concept to reality in-house by our small and determined team who have designed, prototyped, CNC machined, hand-assembled and rigorously tested in the lab, on the trail, and in real race environments. The result is a system that proudly encapsulates HEL’s 25 years of motorsport heritage.

Purpose-built to meet the demands of downhill, enduro, and eMTB riding, the Advocate is HEL Mountain Bike’s most capable, robust, highest-performing brake system to date.

For trail and XC bikes, HEL is currently developing the Raiser — an ultra-lightweight, 2-piston brake system specifically designed for riders who demand maximum 2-piston stopping power and a compact footprint, when every gram counts.

Your bike, your style. If the standard HEL colour combos don’t match your vision, you can mix and match from 7 unique colours 

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. HEL brakes are designed, CNC-machined, assembled, and tested in Devon, England by HEL Performance. Development and validation are carried out in-house, from lab testing to real trail and race use.

The HEL Advocate brake system is purpose-built for downhill, enduro, bike park, and full-power e-MTB riding. It is designed for riders who prioritise consistent lever feel, control, and fade resistance on long and demanding descents.

HEL Advocate brakes use DOT 5.1 brake fluid only. DOT fluid offers excellent high-temperature performance and consistency when braking repeatedly under heavy loads.

HEL Advocate brakes are supplied with Gorilla Brakes Enduro Pro Ultimate brake pads as standard, chosen to deliver consistent performance, controlled heat behaviour, and predictable modulation.

HEL’s Free-Flow caliper design focuses on even piston pressure and controlled heat management. This helps reduce fade and supports a consistent braking feel during long descents and repeated heavy braking.

Yes. The HEL Advocate brake system is well suited to full-power e-MTBs, where higher bike weight and sustained braking demand strong heat control and reliable stopping power.

Yes. HEL offers seven colour options, allowing you to mix and match components to suit your bike build at no extra cost.

Yes. Each HEL Advocate system is supplied as a complete brake package, including levers, calipers, hoses, pads, fittings, bleed block, titanium mounting bolts, and installation documentation.

Yes. HEL supplies rotors, brake pads, and tools designed to work as a complete system. Using matched components helps ensure consistent performance and easier setup.

The Advocate is optimised for gravity and heavier bikes. For trail and XC use, HEL is developing the Raiser, a lightweight 2-piston brake system designed for riders who want strong braking performance in a compact, low-weight format.

HEL brakes follow standard hydraulic brake maintenance procedures. Correct bedding-in, clean rotors, and proper bleeding with DOT 5.1 fluid are essential for optimal performance.
