Just like any other caliper/lever combo. Just use a BH90 hose with straight at the lever and banjo at the caliper. Both systems are pressure ones so should in theory work. I just don't see the point, apart from maybe having it all spare parts to begin with.

Thanks for the answer. Agreed with overkill but aren't we persuing that all the time with new tech?

I kinda like the idea. 4 pots for my heavy ass all day.

To a degree yes, but this is overkill in a "but whyyy" kinda way.

Doesn't matter how many pistons you have, you're limited by the tyre/rotor combo. You'll be locking up wheels before the caliper hits it's peak performance and the opposite goes for the rubber.

Saying that, I'd still build it for shits and giggles.

I use 2pot on 140mm at 100kg and find them more than good enough, 4pot would be unnecessary
