Yes, very cool. I like the dual piston actuators, but that caliper structure seems like a limiting factor or point of failure. Also, it has to mount somewhere. It would seem natural to integrate it with the fork, so I looked up what they did with TT forks and came up with this single-piston dual-cantilever design as a separate component the P5 [1]. I was thinking of an internal fork mount for the hydraulics, a much larger pad, and a rim specially made with a wider braking surface. Somebody must have tried that in a concept design.

Saw this after I posted my comment. I first came across Magura on German commuter bicycles. A good, reliable brand.
