I would like to share some information I have about the L-twoo eGR with everyone. The basic performance parameters, I believe, do not need further elaboration as they are clearly stated on the official L-twoo website(
https://www.ltwoo.com/). However, the technical manual may not have been translated into English yet.
The comprehensive distribution of the eGR to the consumer market is likely to wait until early next year, and it may take even longer for overseas users. This could be due to the logic that L-twoo needs to have enough OEM orders (orders from complete bicycle manufacturers, such as XDS or TRINX) before being able to cater to retail consumers.
The eGR does not differentiate between aluminum alloy and carbon fiber versions. eGR is the only name, with an aluminum alloy handlebar and a carbon fiber rear derailleur cage.
The eGR's dual-control levers are not exactly the same as the eRX/eR9. L-twoo has modified the button shape of the eGR, making it larger and easier to touch. They have also improved the button feel, enhanced the button's travel, and improved tactile feedback.
(Here is a video showing the feel): https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1K94y1x7nu/?share_source=copy_web&vd_source=6df32e378224c6b777e3a0681a05b579From the renderings and weight analysis, it appears that the left handlebar of the eGR still has buttons and can control the rear derailleur.
[One speculation: Perhaps both the left and right handlebars of the eGR can simultaneously control the same rear derailleur, and I hope there will be an app for customizing the buttons. This would make the eGR have a very interesting shifting logic, such as using the left hand exclusively for downshifting, with the slim buttons on the right for upshifting and the larger buttons for downshifting.]In the future, L-twoo may continue to develop derivative products for the eGR, such as an electronic dropper seatpost. This could be the reason why the left hand of the eGR still retains its buttons.
L-twoo's ambitions go beyond this, and in the near future, they may release a completely wireless MTB electronic shifter, similar to what Wheel-Top and SRAM have done.
我想向大家分享一下我所掌握的有关L-twoo eGR的一些消息
基本的性能参数我觉得不需要再赘述了,全新的L-twoo官网上都有写明,可能只有技术手册还没有被翻译成英文
eGR对C端的全面铺货大概率要等到明年年初,而对于海外用户来说可能需要更久
这其中的逻辑可能是因为L-twoo需要先拥有足够的OE订单(来自整车厂的订单,例如xds、千里达之类的),才有能力去应对零售消费者
eGR不区分铝合金/碳纤维版本。eGR就是唯一的名称,其手柄为铝合金材质,后拨链器笼为碳纤维材质
eGR和eRX/eR9的双控手柄并非完全一样,L-twoo修改了eGR的按键形状,让它变得更大更容易触摸,同时还改进了按键手感,加强了按键的行程和触感反馈
从渲染图和重量分析,eGR的左手柄依然有按键,并且可以对后拨进行控制
【一种猜测:也许eGR的左右手柄都可以同时控制同一个后拨链器,并且我希望可以用app对按键进行自定义,这样就会让eGR有非常有趣的变速逻辑(例如左手全部是降档,而右手的细长按键用来升档,粗大按键用来降档)】
L-twoo在未来可能会继续开发eGR的衍生产品,例如电子升降座杆,这可能是eGR左手没有被取消按键的原因
L-twoo的野心不止于此,在不久的将来应该会发布纯无线的MTB电子变速器,就像Wheel-Top和SRAM做的那样
