Formula Cura Disc Brake

The affordable Formula Cura disc brakes, designed for cross-country to enduro use, offering outstanding braking power and stability.

Formula Cura brake lever:

Newly designed brake lever with radial piston and large compensation reservoir for extremely high stability. The two-piece aluminium brake lever can be fitted in seconds and mounted on either the right or left side. The position of the bleed screws allows for filling and bleeding whilst the lever is fitted. The patented radial piston cylinder design in the brake lever enables a slim profile with a large oil reservoir. Handlebar clamps are available as an option in the Matchmaker version for direct mounting of SRAM Trigger shift levers.

Formula brake pads:

The extremely robust, semi-metallic brake pads guarantee maximum braking performance. The pads can be replaced without removing the disc.

Formula mineral oil brake fluid:

Formula uses mineral oil brake fluid for the Cura brakes.

Cross Country, All Mountain, Enduro to Downhill
