With the new Cura 4 Kashima, Formula continues to refine its most powerful brake. Building on the proven performance of the Cura disc brake, the focus is on refining every detail to deliver an even smoother, more precise, and more customizable braking experience—while maintaining the consistent performance and reliability expected of a high-performance brake.
This brake benefits from Formula’s extensive experience with Miyakis ’s renowned Kashima Coat® coating, which has been successfully used for years on high-quality suspension components. This exclusive coating, applied to the master cylinder pistons at the Miyaki plant in Japan, reduces friction and enables even lighter, smoother, and more consistent lever operation under a wide variety of conditions.
Like every Cura brake, the Cura 4 Kashima features a fully forged and anodized construction designed for high structural integrity, long-term durability, and low weight. The new Kashima coating not only contributes to the brake’s optimized performance but also gives it a distinctive, premium appearance inspired by cutting-edge racing technology.
The Cura 4 Kashima combines performance, modulation, refinement, and extensive customization options, representing the next evolution of Formula’s high-performance brake technology.
