Formula Brake Pads Engineered for E-Bike Performance

Formula brakes are known for their exceptional modulation, lightweight construction and high braking power, making them a popular choice on electric mountain bikes and premium performance builds. The Cura series, especially the 4-piston Cura 4, delivers strong bite and consistent power ideal for heavier e-MTB systems. Gorilla Brakes compounds are engineered to enhance heat stability, bite strength and durability under electric bike braking loads.

Compatible Formula E-Bike Brake Models

Our brake pads fit all major Formula brakes used on electric mountain and hybrid bikes:

  • Formula Cura 4: High-power 4-piston brake used on many E-MTBs

Which Formula Pad Type Do I Need?
