First Look: Formula Speedlock brakes and 33 fork

The guys from Formula have presented us with a Thirtythree fork and with new news in the brake segment. The popular 35 fork will be available with 170-180mm travel and black tubes.

The popular 35 will be supported by the 33 in the fork segment..
The new 33 will be offered with 100-140mm travel and focusses on the well known Drop in Cartridge system (DCS) damping system. The 130-140mm fork weighs only 1580g (27,5″) with 15mm thru axle. First models are already available, the rest will be new in stores by the middle of october.

The Formula 33 fork will be available at 880 EUR.

The Integrated Locking System makes it easy to pull the quick release of from the axe.

The fork’s finish is convincing.

The Formula 35 is available with 180mm travel and only weighs 1795g (27.5″) – these are good benchmark numbers.
Furthermore, the Speedlock system will be sold from next season on. The system makes it easy to disconnect the brake lever from the conduct. This makes the assembly easier.

Speedlock makes it easy to lay down the brake line. No need to ventilate, says Formula.

The Formula C3 braking saddle is equipped with the Speedlock adapter. This will only be hidden with the help of dust bearings.
Formula has updated the brake handles next to the Speedlock System for 2015. The Progressive Lever Adjust system will make it possible to adjust the hardness of the pressure point in two positions. In order to regulate the lever range, one has moved the adjustment towards the lever’s end.

The silver screw is ment for the adjustment of the lever range, the black plate in the background makes it possible to variate the pressure point.
