Formula was established in 1987 with the objective of manufacturing motorcycle wheels and brakes. The idea of putting disc brakes on mountain bikes is the result of forward thinking by our staff, which has always sought to produce new and innovative solutions in the realm of two-wheel vehicles. The disc brake was the only component still not used in bicycles, However there were a number of problems to overcome.
In 1993 we started our adventure knowing we could not repeat the mistakes of other companies who had gone down this path before us. Proof that we were on the right track is all around us. Formula was the first company to successfully produce and distribute disc brakes for MTBs
