Sorry I'm only today come to look at the brakes more closelyIn my PlusFour model year 2022 it is a single-piston brake. The manufacturer can not be identified ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2023/01/20/3D1D3BE0-7BA7-4AB3-A88A-F3E200DBF217.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2023/01/20/3688CE9F-C30C-4CD5-A88A-5987B75C70DD.jpeg)

And the sliding mechanism isn’t protected by a rubber covering as most cars are, they’re open to the elements and if not used often enough they will seize up.

Is that not a dual piston? One piston either side of the disc.

It's not easy to photograph this... played with the brightness again. I only see a piston on the inner side where the vent is placed. ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2023/01/21/9256808C-E559-4C43-BEDB-72F51ED6518B.jpeg)

If you take the pads out you will eliminate the guess work and know for sure, looks easy enough.

As I’ve said before, it’s a single piston.

Thanks for posting the pic Clemens.
Unfortunately the mechanism that allows the calliper to slide back and forth as the brakes are applied and released is not obvious from the angle you took the pic from.
