About Rim Brakes
Rim brakes for bikes use the sidewall of the rim to reduce speed, this is done by a pad on either side applying friction against the rim, which reduces your momentum. Road brake callipers have been redesigned over the years and now use a system called 'dual pivot' which means the brake arms pivot off centre to apply a higher amount of pressure on the rim to increase your stopping power. Most manufacturers use dual pivot callipers on the front and rear, but some Campagnolo brakes use a traditional single pivot on the rear to 'balance' the braking power, the logic behind this is that as you brake your weight shifts on to the front of the bike and as much as 75% of the braking force is applied to the front.

Magazine reviews for Shimano Tiagra 4500 Brake Caliper
Review from Cycling Plus
These dual pivot brakes have been redesigned from the ground up and thanks to a finer finish they look far more expensive than the BR-4400 version that they replace. The arms have a new, more arched shape and they are deeper in section for greater stiffness. While they are better than teh out-going version, we noted an improvement in absolute stopping power by fitting after-market Fibrax brake blocks. the only criticism would have been that the cable adjusters could have been a little easier to turn.
In conclusion...
Great-lookijng callipers at an excellent price; a vast improvement
