Can it be a little less?

If an alternative brake - apart from Shimano or Sram - comes into question, then Formula could come into focus. This is because the Cura X, which offers a wide range of applications, has been slimmed down again.

Can it be a little less? That's the motto of the new Formula brake: the Cura X boasts a carbon lever and titanium bolts. And thus lightens a brake by 34 grams. A single brake therefore weighs around 325 grams including brake hose, bolts and 160 mm rotor. In an age of bulky e-mountainbikes and heavy enduro bikes, this is no longer a source of enthusiasm. However, for the clientele that still builds the bike with a table calculation, this should still cause a certain amount of delight.

The Cura X, which with two brake pistons seems to be made for light cross country or trial bikes, operates with mineral oil and is available in three colors (gold, silver, black). With the Mixmaster adapters, the form-fit docking of Sram or Shimano shift levers also works.
