Formula's History: From Motorcycle Racing to the MTB Revolution
Formula was born out of AIM, a leading company in the motorcycle sector. Since 1987, the brand has been developing its groundbreaking mountain bike technologies in Prato, Italy. In 1993, Formula revolutionized the sport of MTB with the first hydraulic disc brakes, creating a milestone in braking performance and control. Formula's racing DNA is still reflected in every component today and is evident not least from the fact that they support numerous MTB world champions. One thing is for sure: Italian engineering expertise ensures top-quality workmanship and durability – perfect for demanding trails.
Perfect Control with Formula Brakes and Accessories
Formula not only offers top-quality brakes, but also a selection of precisely tuned suspension forks and rear shocks. One look at the Formula range and it's clear: from technical trails to steep descents and relaxed tours, Formula has the right equipment to support you on any terrain.
Suspension Forks by Formula – Versatility for Every Challenge
The Selva series offers the right suspension fork for every riding style:
- Selva S: The Selva S is the all-rounder among Formula suspension forks. With CTS (Compression Tuning System) technology, you can individually adjust the damping and perfectly match the suspension to your riding style. IFT (Internal Floating Technology) minimizes friction, making the fork extremely smooth. The three-stage spring mechanism with coil negative spring ensures reliable and consistent performance – ideal for enduro, trail bikes and e-mountain bikes.
- Selva R: For riders who want maximum control over their suspension, the Selva R with 2Air technology offers unbeatable options. Two separate air chambers allow for precise fine-tuning of the suspension travel. The combination of positive and negative air springs allows the fork to react optimally to your weight and the demands of the trail. The Neopos system creates an innovative air spring refinement that surpasses the riding experience of a normal suspension.
- Selva C: The Selva C combines the linear spring curve of a steel spring with the advantages of CTS damping. Four different springs (soft, medium, firm, super firm) and adjustable preload make it easy to customize. This coil spring fork is aimed at riders who prefer the unmistakable sensitivity and plush feel of a steel spring.
For downhill fans, the Nero R delivers maximum adaptability thanks to its 3Air technology. Consisting of three air chambers, this function allows you to adjust the suspension for every route and riding style. In addition, the Nero R offers separate adjustment options for high- and low-speed damping and rebound speed. This fork delivers maximum adaptability and reliable performance, even under extreme conditions.
Formula MTB Brakes – Precision and Power on Every Trail
The Cura series stands for braking power and adaptability:
- Cura: an innovation for all-round brakes. It is the first to use mineral oil, which is not only easy to maintain but also extremely powerful. The ergonomically designed lever ensures a comfortable and intuitive braking feel. This disc brake is ideal for all disciplines – from trail to downhill – and offers a perfect balance of braking power and control.
- Cura 4: With four pistons, the Cura 4 delivers impressive braking power, which is particularly convincing on technical descents. The larger friction surface of the brake pads and the optimized return mechanism offer exceptional control and modulation. The anodized aluminum housing ensures durability and low weight, making it ideal for demanding descents and enduro trails.
- Cura X: This disc brake, also filled with mineral oil, is the high-performance version of the Cura. It combines a lightweight carbon lever, Kevlar hoses and titanium screws to save weight without sacrificing performance. Thanks to the new semi-closed clamp and tool-free adjustment, it offers maximum comfort and ease of use. This brake is perfect for racing where you want to maximize weight and efficiency. High-quality brake pads also contribute to the impressive braking performance.
Formula Shocks – Control and Sensitivity in Every Situation
The Mod series combines precision and durability:
- Mod: The Mod coil shock impresses with its high sensitivity and control. With CTS technology, you can easily adjust the damping to your preferences. The large-volume oil chamber and bladder oil reservoir ensure a consistently soft and consistent damper action, even on long descents. The Mod is reliable, durable and ideal if you value consistent performance.
- Mod DH: This shock is designed for the most demanding downhill trails. Thanks to its robust construction and easy CTS tuning, it offers elite performance for races like the World Cup or extended bike park sessions. Its easy maintenance and reliability make it the ideal choice for both recreational and professional riders.
The Nebbia Air shock is the perfect blend of ease of use and performance. With the Neopos system and a hybridized air and steel spring, the Nebbia offers exceptional sensitivity and traction. The unique clip-in spacer system allows you to adjust the travel without tools, so the Nebbia fits on almost any bike.
