Yes, Avid/SRAM makes BB7 (and BB5) calipers in both MTB and Road flavors. For best results, you must use BB7 road calipers with road levers. Another variable is that Shimano increased the brake cable pull of their road levers when they changed in recent years from flopping-in-the-breeze gear cables to under-the-housing cables.

A quick trip to the Bengal site [http://www.bengalperformance.com.tw] reveals that the MT700T is indeed the road version of their MB700 caliper.
