Formula Caliper & Lever
Introducing the R1 - In 2008 Formula’s The One system redefining riders thinking about power andweight in a DH brake, this year Formula introduce the new R1 (Radial 1) for XCand trail riders bringing Formula’s incredible power and control to the lightestbrake system available today.

Developed on the technology introduced by The One, the R1 combines acompact and incredibly lightweight monoblock caliper running 22mm piston with a ground breaking new ultra-lightweight radial master cylinder with concealed expansion reservoir, lightweight clamp and lightweight lever.
With standard version hardware kit, system weights are from an unbelievable 270g but with ultralight alu-center rotor kit and all possible upgrades system weights as low as 258g are possible.

R1 is the lightest brake available today but as you would expect from Formula the weight is not what astonishes. With power beyond that of Oro and not far short of The One, the radial master cylinder brings a new level of sensitivity and control to inspire confidence in XC racers and serious trail junkies.

be taken out without removing any other thing from the bar.
