How does a dual pivot caliper work?

A dual pivot caliper operates using two pivot points that allow the caliper arms to move more freely and efficiently. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure is applied to the caliper, causing the inner caliper arm to pivot and press the brake pad against the brake rotor. The second pivot point enables the outer arm to also move, providing more even pressure and enhancing braking performance. This design improves brake response and reduces the likelihood of uneven wear on the brake pads.
