Description
Evolution lists Slow Down Brakes as an optional accessory for its walkers. Its own line is that they give the user "more control of the walker" by keeping it from running away on an incline.
A pair adds constant drag at the rear wheel, and a knob sets how much resistance you feel. The walker's own hand and parking brakes are untouched and still do the stopping.
What does the pair do?
- Adds steady resistance at the rear wheel, so a walker does not roll away or gather speed on a gentle slope or a smooth floor.
- The maker says it suits people who cannot work standard hand brakes well, including people with arthritis or reduced dexterity.
- A knob adjusts the resistance to the user's walking pace and strength.
- It does not replace the hand brakes: those still slow the walker and lock it when parked.
Which Evolution walkers does it fit?
- Evolution lists Slow Down Brakes as an optional accessory on its walker sheets, including the Trillium Type 2, the Trillium Type 3, the Xpresso and the Xpresso Zero.
- A Canadian Evolution dealer sells this pair under the code B14IR, the code on this record, for the Xpresso and Trillium walkers.
- The fit is model-specific, so tell us your walker model when you order and we will match the pair to it.
The walkers this pair is listed against have their own pages: the Trillium Type 2, the Trillium, the Xpresso Zero and the Xpresso Lite. More rollator accessories and the rest of the Evolution range sit on their own pages.

Frequently asked questions
Does it replace the walker's own brakes?
No. It adds constant resistance underneath, which Evolution calls extra control. The hand brakes still slow the walker and the parking brake still locks it when parked.
Which Evolution walkers does the B14IR pair fit?
Evolution lists Slow Down Brakes as an optional accessory across its walker sheets, and a Canadian dealer sells this pair for the Xpresso and Trillium walkers. Send us your walker model and we will check the fit before you order.
How is the pair fitted and adjusted?
A knob sets the resistance. The maker's Trillium manual shows the brake comes away with the two Phillips screws on the front of the rear fork, so the wheel stays on. Evolution publishes no step-by-step fitting sheet beyond that.
