They are the standard calipers.

What are the advantages of having the double line system : Easier to bleed ?

double line i found a pain in the ass, inc clearence problem on some handguards (eg. ktm ones)
also air lock just off the M/C, i wouldnt do full length double line again
single form M/C to OEM join, the double from their down to the calipers is best IMO
