For dual piston that would be the Spyke but Paul says their Klamper is better because it is a single piston design and trying to do two pistons would make a really huge brake. I can see what he is saying and I do generally love Paul components and use a bunch of them on different bikes but I am not sure if the single piston is better than the dual piston of the Spyre/Spyke but maybe one day I might get to try the Klampers long term.
I couldn’t get spyres to give me the kind of braking I wanted so I replaced them with klampers, there was a night and day difference between the two.
The flip side is the bike internet loves spyres and they can’t all be wrong
