ADVOCATE

"I love the super solid construction, solid lever feel, solid braking, and absolute trust I have in these. They are built to last and to be used and abused. The most noticeable thing is the ‘always there’ lever, not a lot of pre-pulling required on descents."

"I have been riding mountain bikes since the 90's and I am seriously impressed with the brakes and customer service. I am so pleased to have discovered HEL at Malverns Classic 2025 and even happier to have won a set of these unbelievable brakes. They are SO powerful and look beautiful!"

"Hands down the best brakes I've run for enduro and DH. I've tried a bunch of setups over the years, but nothing comes close to the overall performance and consistency of these. The lever feel is dialled, bite point is spot-on, and they have been incredibly reliable in all conditions. The customer service has been awesome - super responsive and genuinely keen to help"

"I couldn't be happier with my decision. After fitting, they were put to the test with a week of Italian descents. They didn't fade at all, just consistent stopping power. The bite point is firm but it's easy to modulate the power. And they're built in Devon, which is a bonus for supporting UK manufacturing."

"The HEL Advocate look great and perform even better. Some brakes are just overly powerful and I think these have hit the sweet spot. What's especially nice is they are powerful but very smooth and predictable in their action and it makes you feel like a faster rider overall. There's very little deadstroke and the lever blade shape is the best I've tried yet."

"Super happy with how firm the lever feels, lever shape, bite point, and how consistent the power is delivered with minimal effort. They feel on point even in very wet conditions, and I can ride for hours with no brake fade. They look fantastic, they ride superb and the quality is just 100%"

"These brakes are awesome! Super responsive with great modulation. They really do feel like moto brakes, which I love. The levers felt spot on even before I added any fluid. They look incredible, and the colour really pops!"
