Hi Oscar, we're glad to hear the brakes are working well for you! Thanks for your support.
This collection includes Gorilla Brakes pads designed specifically for the Formula Cura brake platform. The Cura series is Formula’s lightweight, high-precision hydraulic brake widely used on performance road, endurance and all-road bikes thanks to its smooth modulation, strong bite and excellent heat control.
If your bike uses a Formula Cura caliper, simply select the correct pad shape and choose the compound that best suits your road riding style and conditions.
The Formula Cura system offers exceptional modulation and a smooth, progressive lever feel. Gorilla Brakes compounds are engineered to enhance these characteristics by delivering increased stopping power, reduced noise and improved durability. Choose Enduro Pro for maximum braking force, Factory Racing for ultra-quiet performance, or Standard compounds for dependable all-weather road braking.
