    SETUP GUIDE

    Everything You Need to Get Rolling

    Whether you just opened the box or you're checking before you buy — this guide covers installation, downloads, and answers to the most common questions.

    QUICK START

    Up and running in 4 steps

    No tools. No wiring. Under 10 minutes.

    1. 1

      Clean the helmet surface

      Use the included alcohol wipe to clean the rear of your helmet. Remove any grease, oils, or residue. Let it dry completely before continuing.

    2. 2

      Position the mount

      Use the included alignment template to find the correct position. Centre the mount on the rear of the helmet. For Shoei NXR2, RF-1400, or Z-8 helmets, use the Shoei-specific mount — sold separately.

    3. 3

      Bond the mount

      Peel the backing from the 3M VHB adhesive. Press the mount firmly onto the helmet for 60 seconds. Leave 24 hours before riding — the adhesive cures under pressure over time.

    4. 4

      Clip in and ride

      Slide the Brake Free unit onto the mount until it clicks. Power on. The unit calibrates automatically on your first ride.

    FAQ

    Installation & Removal

    Installation

    How long does installation take?

    Under 10 minutes for most riders. The longest part is the 24-hour cure time — the 3M VHB adhesive bonds permanently under pressure overnight. You can prep the night before your next ride.

    Do I need any tools?

    None. Everything you need is in the box: the unit, two mounts (Universal and XL), an alignment template, an alcohol wipe, and the Quick Start Guide.

    Which mount should I use — Universal or XL?

    Start with the Universal Mount. If it doesn't sit flush on your helmet's rear surface, switch to the XL Mount. Both are included in the box. Shoei NXR2, RF-1400, and Z-8 owners must use the Shoei-specific mount, sold separately.

    My helmet has a ridge or vent — can I still fit the mount?

    Yes, as long as more than 60% of the foam adhesive contacts the helmet surface, the bond is secure. For deeper ridges, email us at mailus@brakefreetech.eu — we can supply additional 3M VHB strips.

    Removal

    How do I remove the mount?

    Clip the Brake Free unit onto the mount for grip, then rotate it back and forth in small increments. It rolls off cleanly leaving no residue. Do not use dental floss or plastic cards.

    Will removing the mount damage my helmet?

    No. The 3M VHB adhesive leaves practically no residue. The mount material is the same soft plastic used in premium helmet accessories and does not scratch or stress the helmet shell.

    Can I refit the mount on a different helmet after removal?

    No. Once removed, the adhesive bond is broken permanently. Order an additional mount to fit on a second helmet.
