Anyone weighd them? I´ve seen figures of 237 gram for the rearbrake, could that really be right?
I now have Formula RX (claimed 351 gram) and was hoping to save some grams.

Maybe the Formula is including the rotor it those 351 gram?

Thanks

The Formula RX weight includes a 160mm rotor and mounting hardware. I think it is for post mount brake.

Cannot be 237g / rotor and hardware - Shimano brakes are good, but not super WW. I would suspect the brake / rotor and hardware would be in the domain of 375g for 160mm CL ice tech rotor.
