Yeah, the new ER9 version exists. I just received mine, which I bought directly from the Ltwoo Taobao store for around $420.

I love that groupset. When it works... +1 on that, couldn't agree more.
How does the blue differ from the old one? Could you please share a photo?
Is that store selling the ER9 / ERX both old and new versions on different listings? Are there listings for the ERX / ER9 with the new brakes? (the lighter ones with less bulk around adaptors).

There is a difference in appearance, the new version looks much better. As far as the interior is concerned: I have no idea if they removed the bugs or not. The charging port is where it was in the first version.

80 Designer Store is also already selling the new eR9. Though it seems the shifter shape remains the same to V2 of eRX, based on the pictures they shared with me. Maybe this is how they are going to have some distinction between eRX and eR9. The new eR9 also comes with USB-C charging in the FD, by the way.

is it just the hoodcover or the complete shifter? I'd love to get a new eR9, but only with the bigger V3 eRX shifters because i find my eR9 V1 hoods simply too tiny and therefore uncomfortable.

The Trace Velo video didn’t look bigger to me just ever so slight differences in the shifters. They do seem nicer overall.  Like the charge port in the FD.

Judging from Trace's video, both hood and the whole body of the V2 and V3 are different. I'd like to do the same to upgrade my other two eR9s. We'll see, maybe eventually eR9 will catch up the eRX. Ltwoo seems to like making changes often, which is both good and bad for us customers. Worst case scenario, I'll just pick new sets eRX shifters and pair them with the current eR9, if I end up liking the V3 shifter that I should be receiving in a few days.

I don't see myself getting another LTwoo groupset until they've ironed out their finalized specs. Plus I might just go elsewhere especially as 105 Di2 drops in price or even consider going Wheeltop EDS TX.

I like the "horn"(?) part of the v3 more. A little flatter and seems like it would be more comfortable when bracong against it with your palm. But I'm not likely to buy a set anytime soon either. Especially not with magene on the horizon

Question on this set.  I am seeing talk of v1, v2 and now v3.   That does blue and black have todo with and how can you tell when you are looking to possibly order?  Any help is appreciated.

V1 is the original ER9/X setup. I believe V2 has the updated FD, shifters, brake calipers and exterior, but the same style charging method. V3 has the ability to charge using a USB type-C plug through the FD and has slightly different hoods.

Worst case scenario, I'll just pick new sets eRX shifters and pair them with the current eR9, if I end up liking the V3 shifter that I should be receiving in a few days.

I was thinking of swapping over my eGR shifters to one of my eR9 bikes since they have better haptics and are slightly more comfortable especially with the longer levers. The eGR has left/right shift buttons, but the left shifter goes to waste since they don't have any functions.

"Blue" is because that's what Joe from China Cycling/Panda Podium nicknamed one of the prototypes (V2ish) he got and it stuck. Don't worry about it.

I am sorry I was not clear in my question.  I watch the Trece velo vidio and understand v1, v2 and V3……what has me questioning thing is the Blue, black and gold when referring to the Ltwoo groupset. Thanks

Has there been a mention of eR9 for this generation? I've only seen eR9 for the first release. Still can't justify eRX prices over discounted 105 di2, but with a 50ish discount on eR9 that's a different question

Where are the discounted 105 Di2's available? Anyone know if it's possible to get just the shifter+FD+RD+disc brake calipers+battery (minus crank, cassette, etc.)?

I'm curious too... Would be cool if it came without calipers as well as there are many aftermarket options now
