Formula alone afresh formed out the RX, a more-affordable adaptation of its failing R1. Weight, however, is still a admirable 351 grams (compared with the 272 grams of the R1). Even added absorbing is the ability at hand. Whether the aisle dips gradually or loses acclivity in short, abrupt bursts, these stoppers bear smooth, constant ascendancy that is aloft boilerplate for aisle brakes with 160mm rotors.
The batten is adequate with actual little slop, and provides a acceptable feel for the brake's accomplished modulation. Setup was a snap, aided by a two-bolt handlebar clamp.
The RX comes with amoebic pads that accord reliable achievement on dry trails but ache in the rain or on steeper descents. Anyone active in wet areas or places with bundles of vertical area should opt for the sintered/metallic pads. Also, the RX has few added features--there's no contact-point adjustment, for example. But afresh again, this is a simple, effective, almost failing anchor at a acceptable price. Lou Mazzante
