That’s pretty big looking. Someone is jealous of Codes.
Those look like 20mm pistons

it looks quite heavy to me…..

no its not real heavy

It looks like it’s carved out of aluminum
Even the code calipers are surprisingly light for their power, the real weight comes from the levers being massively over-built.
I hope they don’t feel that they need brakes that are too much more powerful than Codes. I’d be more concerned about how to keep their brakes as progressive as riders demand today

the brakes look kinda like hope calipers??
correct me if I’m wrong tho.

they do have a look sorta like the hope calipers. The production ones might not be that way, but every caliper is going to look similar based on the # of pistons they have.
