Formula R1

Description

The R1 is the premiere XC race disc brake on the market today. The lightest disc brake ever made for a

bicycle combines its astonishingly low weight with top-level power and performance. The brake comes

stock at 270g, but can be dropped all the way down to 263g with a little bit of tuning. The forged MC body

and caliper, provide increased modulation, braking power and durability. Even at this low weight, the R1

generates more than enough power for All Mountain or Enduro use. The R1 uses a patented caliper

piston system that increases fluid capacity in the caliper further increasing performance under heavy use
