FORMULA’S MOST POWERFUL brake is a serious DH stopper at an XC weight and it’s come down a chunk in price too. It’s more careintensive than most though.
The RO uses the well proven R1/T1 lever, with its
MixMaster combo mount and SpeedLock easy hose splitter options. Not all of our
testers like the lever shape – particularly those who like to run their levers
close to their bars – but the soft-feeling pull delivers lots of progressive
data to your digits.
That’s just as well, because the big oval callipers
are easily powerful enough to chuck you over the handlebar if you’re not
careful.
The ROs are slightly awkward to bleed and set up
rub-free. Because the rotors are flimsy we’d advise buying just the brakes 372$.
