I have a HP book on brakes at home. : However, the two pistons functionally only even out the brake force across the pad. Only if the combined surface area of the two pistons exceeds the surface area of our one piston, can you exert more force to the brakes. Still I am annoyed why those would not have been issued to our "Premium" SE rides. : Good fortune, RHD MAX : John
the two smaller pistons can do a better job at distributing the braking force across the whole pad. Versus just across the middle of the pad. Sorta like when you press down in the middle of a ruler, both ends bow up. This is my guess anyway.
