xt calipers and xtr dual control levers

Hi,
does anyone know if it's possible to match XTR dual control levers with
xt 4-pot 755 calipers? has anyone tried it? in my opinion it should
give more power than xtr calipers, but i'm not sure if the levers can
produce enough pressure (is the stroke identical - is the diameter of
the piston in the lever identical)???

it requires disassembly of the levers to figure that out - easier to
measure the diameters of the respective caliper pistons & calculate
their total piston areas instead. more accessible. if they're the
same, you're in business.

What are you talking about, measuring stroke and pistons and
pressure???

It took me a whopping 45 seconds to google "Shimano", go to their
website, and find the answer (twice - click the "technical" or
"support" tab).

"Yes, all Shimano hydraulic brake levers are designed to work with all
Shimano hydraulic calipers. Keep in mind that there are different
fittings for each. Make sure you use the appropriate Shimano brake line
and fittings for the lever/caliper combination on your mountain bike."
