What's the difference between EB7 and EB9?
- The EB7 is a compact, lightweight brake system purpose-built for the original generation of E-motos, delivering precise fitment and consistent performance on platforms such as the Surron Light Bee, Talaria Sting MX3/MX4, E Ride Pro SS 2.0, Ventus V1/V1+, and Rerode R1/R1+.
- EB9 is the bigger brake designed to fit higher-power, higher spec lightweight E-motos with larger brake mounts. It has a wider caliper and thicker pads.
Both brakes share the same master cylinder, piston size and pad surface area. Therefore the braking power provided by each brake is almost identical.
The EB9 is available in three different versions, depending on the post-mount size:
- Arctic Leopard EX Pro S / Enduro – 90mm post mount (*this version has a slimmer caliper to fit the bike*)
- Talaria MX5 & Altis Sigma – 95.5mm post mount
- E-Ride Pro 3.0 & SR – 99.5mm post mount
Availability is being rolled out in phases, beginning with EB7 and EB9 for E Ride Pro 3.0 and SR models.
How do I know which brake fits my bike?
You need to identify the post-mount spacing on your fork or brake adapter.
- Remove your existing calipers
- Locate the two threaded holes on the fork or adapter
- Measure the center-to-center distance between the holes
The measurement should match one of the following:
- 74.2mm → EB7
- 90mm → EB9 (Arctic Leopard)
- 95.5mm → EB9 (Talaria / Altis)
- 99.5mm → EB9 (E-Ride Pro)
NOTE: The EB7 design includes a step up in rotor size.
- 220mm disc requires a 203mm adapter
- 240mm disc requires a 220mm adapter
Alternatively, you can change rotor size instead of using an adapter.
Are the brakes pre-bled and ready to install?
Formula brakes come pre-assembled and pre-bled. If hoses are cut, bleeding is required to remove air and maintain consistent brake feel.
Are these brakes suitable for off-road riding?
Yes. Built for demanding off-road use with CNC-machined aluminum calipers, braided steel hoses, and sintered pads for consistent performance in heat, dirt, and mud.
Still unsure which brake to choose?
- Take a clear photo of your fork mount
- Note your current rotor size
- Contact your dealer or distributor
Choosing the correct setup ensures proper fit, performance, and safety.
