Are these mountain bike brakes THAT much better?

The feel adjustment sounds interesting but you should really declare this as an ad.

I just heard about the Lewis brakes a couple of days ago, when checking information about the Trickstuff Maxima, which amazed me. But after I saw the price of the latter, I was a bit less amazed. Of course I value the innovation and that it is made in Germany, but I am really intrigued now in wanting to try out those Lewis brakes, despite what people may say. Not every product from China is bad. Especially the higher priced ones are usually at least equal to the known Western brands. That is not to say that I would always opt for the cheaper alternative. If budget is an issue however, I think it is good to have such alternatives with reliable quality. Those who can afford it, will buy the expensive originals anyway. I probably would as well, if money was not an issue.

⁠Then it’s smart of Lewis to capitalize on the opportunity. Nothing wrong with that. Look at all other brakes and bike components. At the end of the day, they’re all very similar in design and function. Everyone copies everyone to a certain extent. That’s life.

The enduro bike looks straight fire—- awe hey cute puppy dog.. yea I do it in public and car to car also…

Great brakes, been using the LHt version for about a month now.

How does the free-throw compare to other brakes? I currently have Magura mt7 and im loving the short free-throw compared to Sram, so it would be very helpfull if you could describe the free-throw for me.

Have you tested the LV4 as well? And if not is it possible for you to test them as well? Cheers

The extra adjustment(leverage ratio) on the titanium model simply moves the lever to either side so you can adjust it to your cockpit as well as the size of your hands. It's simply so most people should be able to just land their braking finger naturally on the point where you get the most leverage, so it's not about feel, but simply a cockpit adjustment. It will obviously impact feel but only in terms of how much you need to twist your wrist and/or place your hand to be able to reach the lever. Leverage ratio = Left/right adjustment of the lever Lever reach = In/out adjustment of the lever So, having both axis is a bonus because you simply got more wiggle room to place the tip of that lever exactly where it needs to be for you personally.

How do the lh4s feel without the leverage ratio adjust? Are they like shimano?

😂😂😂I knew this was gonna be a controversial topic again as soon as I saw the thumbnail.

Very nice systems think I’ll be trying a set.

They should include titanium bolts for mounting the caliper.

The cheaper LH4 are more like Shimano or closer to Sram (I mean: the lever feel). Or it's somewhere between those 2? Also curious: the LHT adjustability (between the 2 "end-points") is huge, or it just slightly modifies the characteristics of the lever? The "middle" setting between the 2 end-points is the "default setting", and the LH4 is comparable to this, ot the LH4 is just as "Shimano-like" as the LHT can be at the one end of the settings?

Spares, can you get seals, pistons etc? I've used Hope brakes for 20 years so have an expectation of being able to get every little bit. Mates with Shimano brakes have to buy a new caliper when the seals start leaking.

Can you do a video on wheels plz?

are you taking these or the Hope 4?

yo have you tried the vertical ones? they look lit, will buy dominions if they're not convincing

Wow what a brake, I wish I could test it. Unfortunately there is no dealer near me in Germany with this brake.🙄

Forget everyone saying this is plagiarism, Intense Factory Racing uses these brakes, Gorilla makes pads for them, and multiple big magazines have reviewed them. The cheap knock offs dont get any of that. Lewis unlike those people, makes them all in house

So these are named after F1 racer Lewis Hamilton?
