Pretty sure it's just TRP.

AFAIK TRP Hylex are the only fully hydraulic ones. Other options include hybrid systems like HY/RD or Juin Tech calipers. Though my LBS describes such things as the worst of both worlds!
Re: hydro drop bar brake levers, without a gear shifter?
My Hylex are absolutely excellent. Have put thousands of miles on them and they've been trouble free.
Had to redo the fluid when I let the pads get so worn that the pistons were pushed out, entirely my fault. They're very good brakes, the levers feel nice, and they're blooming reliable

cables not hydro......
Re: hydro drop bar brake levers, without a gear shifter?
Apologies for the last two - I thought they were hydraulic too. The Force lever is definitely hydraulic.

Hmm I though that was just a left hand lever but it does seem to suggest a pair, right enough - good find!
Bit spendy though....
Re: hydro drop bar brake levers, without a gear shifter?
I think it's just the single lever, not a pair. And yes, it's expensive. But at least you now have a choice.
Re: hydro drop bar brake levers, without a gear shifter?
I remember looking at them before, I never did manage to decode the SRAM info
It says
Run as a set on single speed machines, or for the ultimate in 1x road, pair with a Force 11-speed shifter
Which implies you can have 2 on a ss bike or just use the left on a 1x setup, but in the specifications it says
Orientation, Left
Which I read as they only make a left one? So do you have to run two left levers if you have a ss
