Lewis LV2 Brake Set review – are these new stoppers the most powerful lightweight XC/trail/enduro bargain brakes you can buy?

Lewis LV2 brakes fitted to a handlebar.

You might have seen a fair bit of fuss about Lewis brakes on other sites and forums recently. Mainly centered around their obvious aesthetic similarity to the insanely expensive €1,100 Piccola brakes from German brand Trick Stuff. Design details and feel are actually very different though. Plus, does it matter what their parental influences might be if they stop harder than most big brand brake options for less money and less weight?
