Are these mountain bike brakes THAT much better?

Lewis Brakes are an incredible MTB disk brake - but which is best?
I compare the LH4 and LH4 Ti brakes from personal use so you can decide which is best for you.

[@jamesgrabowski6871]

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

[@eliaswiesenthal3419]

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.

[@FOTB407]

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

[@Firby007]

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

[@andyc5367]

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

[@SilverbackOrangutan71]

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

[@kobanagy]

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?

[@a8f235]

Leverage ratio adjust only means how far in or out you'd like to land your braking finger on the lever, because the further out you press on the lever the less force needs to be applied to add pressure to the system. Just in the same way if you are using a long wrench on a bolt and you start by holding further in on the handle it will feel heavier to pull than if you place your grip further to the tip of the handle. Leverage ratio = Left/right adjustment of the lever Lever reach = In/out adjustment of the lever

[@jamesgrabowski6871]

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.

[@mtbboy1993]

I second that question. Before I buy any brake I have to know I can get every part as a spare.

[@cerniworks]

I have a stock of wearable and breakable spare parts in EU. Seals, screws, pads, clamps...

[@a8f235]

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.

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

[@wolfpack_adventures]

Yep, standard stuff 😅 comments are worth a read as usual

[@thegrommechanic6265]

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

I am riding LV2 on my enduro hardtail with 180mm rotors and they are more than capable. And LV4 uses 4-pot calliper...

[@syms85]

Can you do a video on wheels plz?

[@syms85]

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

[@buzzlom]

are you taking these or the Hope 4?

[@wolfpack_adventures]

These

[@mtbboy1993]

They should include titanium bolts for mounting the caliper.

[@BlackForestMTB-Marc-and-Nic]

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

[@cerniworks]

I can ship to Germany

[@Govermentsound]

Are they as powerful as the Shamino saints?

[@wolfpack_adventures]

More powerful

[@dantindley5181]

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

[@mtbboy1993]

By everything what does that include? A y of this?: Piston seals Pistons Bleed port o ring Pads Bolts Internals like piston, push rod I've not seen this yet. No page to just buy it as far as I know.

[@LewisOfficialUK]

We supply complete life time warranty at the moment on the LH4s, 5 year on the titanium. If anyone has any issue with Lewis brakes feel free to contact us for parts etc.

[@mtbboy1993]

@@LewisOfficialUK Hello from Norway. Which fluid do you reccomend for temperatures below - 10c? Know of any that can do - 20c or below? Should the seals handle these temps? I've read that somone ha issues with pistons not retracting on Lewis brake in - 20c. But no did not mention the fluid they used. I know Bionol can do - 15c. Not tried Formula in colder temps than -10c yet.

[@LewisOfficialUK]

​@@mtbboy1993Hi we are currently testing extreme temperatures at both ends of the spectrum but it is an ongoing process. We have had testers report good feedback in low temperatures using Putoline HPX 2.5

this is pretty much an Ad..........

what a knock-off - both brakes and rotors

[@sebastiengiovannelli8556]

can't match Maxima's brakes

[@dabu29245]

I really can't get over it that you as a professional rider are endorsing a chinese company that stole all the engineering knowhow from a german company. How can you justify that as a serious rider with a big reach in the public? Yes, they didn't do everything the same way. But probably 95 percent, and they didn't even bother to adjust the look a little. Just plain plagiarism.

[@wolfpack_adventures]

Have you ever done any research whatsoever into the company? Or their products?

[@dabu29245]

@@wolfpack_adventures Yes I did, and it has not improved my image of this company. But it would be fantastic to see a video where you compare these brakes with the original (Trickstuff Maxima). I'd love to see that! 😃🙌🏻

[@liwx]

Eveidence ? Or anyone can say whatever Bs you just said above

[@thevlklng3878]

@@wolfpack_adventures I absolutely have to agree with the accusation! The brake systems are 100% copies of the Trickstuff Direttissima and Maxima! Lewis Hydraulics is also based in China! You just need to use the internet properly! I would be interested to hear what Trickstuff themselves have to say about this.

[@Nick-lm9hg]

The original brakes cost a fortune. Who cares?
