I'm sure no more messy bleeding the brakes will be cheered by those who need to do brake fluids (I dislike doing it on my motorcycles). Multiple motors and pistons should still mean adequate redundancy, but more details from the manufacturer would be nice.

I have a honda with linked brakes, the precursor to ABS implementation. Rotation in the front left caliper applies one of 3 rear pistons, rotation of the rear caliper applies 1 of 6 front pistons. I have like 5 bleed valves on the 3 calipers and 2 or 3 valves inside the frame.

But it's very difficult to lock up the rear wheel. I've never had it happen in a straight line.
