And long reach specific versions of dual-pivot brakes have longer space between pivots and longer arms. This increases their mechanical advantage over short reach dual-pivot and allows them to work very well. I have done several 650B conversions (from 700C) where 19mm is added, and used these long reach designs. They work very well. I can barely notice a difference.
