Cura Road Caliper

Introducing the Cura Road caliper, for Shimano SRAM and Campagnolo hydraulic shift-brake systems.

Cura Road calipers improve your road or gravel bikes’ braking.

They bring Formula’s performance and reliability to Shimano SRAM and Campagnolo hydraulic shift-

brake systems.

The twin-piston design, proven in the Cura mountain bike caliper, delivers strong,

progressive power on and off-road for increased safety and control.

Titanium hardware and brake pads with an Ergal-alloy back plate keep weight to a

minimum.

Formula’s range of rotors, adapters and brake pad compounds make building and fitting

your ideal brake system easy.

Reliable and rebuildable, with spares and support available for 10 years, Cura Road

calipers are built to last.

FAQs

What is the difference between the Shimano and SRAM versions?

The Shimano-compatible caliper uses mineral oil and has 24mm pistons and seals. The
SRAM-compatible caliper uses DOT fluid and has 22mm caliper pistons and seals. Each
version uses a thread pitch designed to work with their respective hoses.

Can Formula hoses be used?

No. The SRAM and Shimano calipers must be used with their respective hoses. A
flatmount version of the Cura is available that is compatible with Formula hoses,
including our quick-release Speedlock hoses.

What is the bleeding procedure?

The calipers use the same bleeding procedure as other version of the Cura.

Which brand of mineral oil should be used?

For best performance we recommend the use of Formula mineral oil with the Shimano
version of the Cura Road caliper. It is possible to use Shimano mineral oil.

Which DOT fluid should be used?
For best performance we recommend the use of Formula DOT 4 fluid with the SRAM
version of the Cura Road caliper.

What brand of rotor can be used with the Cura Road?

For best performance we recommend using Formula rotors but the calipers are
compatible with Shimano and SRAM rotors.

Is there a maximum disc size limit?

Formula does not place a limit on the size of rotor used. Please refer to your frame and
fork manufacturer for guidance.

Is there a rider weight limit?

There is no rider weight limit imposed by Formula.

Do the Cura Road calipers use the same brake pads as the Cura?

Yes. This gives riders the choice of organic, sintered and long-life pad compounds.
