At 782 grams for the complete front and rear set.
Featuring forged lever bodies and calipers, Formula have pared away all extraneous material to create a brake that is both lightweight and strong, and pulling the brake out of the box reveals just how light they truly are. There are a number of rotor options, from the midget 160mm, good for 4x and trail, right up to the full blooded 203mm rotors that we used for the majority of our testing.
At first you may think that the low weight means the brakes will never stand up to any real levels of abuse, but that's a fallacy. It's merely after becoming so used to a lot of other brakes it's logical to think that either light equals weak or strong equals heavy. Featuring lightweight aluminium Torx hardware throughout, our brakes also came equipped with a full complement of optional adjusters that enable tool-free reach adjustment. The IRA (Instant Reach Adjustment) replaces the lever's threaded push-rod which is normally accessed with a 2mm Allen key. The FCS (Feel Control System) is basically an in-line bite point adjuster and something that the standard brake doesn't have, but probably should.Forged one-piece caliper featuring 24mm pistons.
