Yes, the pad holders/shoes have been redesigned, but I don't think they would cause a squeal in and of themselves.

I am running the dual caliper 2011 Athena's. I've swapped out a few pair of wheels and have adjusted the pads ***** nilly (the old school squeeze the caliper hard and tighten while against the rim method). No squeal of the stock pads on alloy rims. In the old days, toe-in used to solve 99% of noise issues.

And unrelated to the OP's Q, I'm going to say these are the best stoppers I've used, and the leverage braking from the hoods is otherwordly.

Do loud brakes save lives? No wait, that's pipes on a Harley.
