Does anyone know if LTwoo added reach adjustments in the new shifter?  There isn't in the old mechanical shifter.

The new design does indeed have the Campy style thumb shifter. I've been talking to L-Twoo and am working on getting my hands on a new set to try out.

Yes, it is the same shape/design, but operation is a bit different between mechanical and hydraulic brake versions.

In the hydraulic version you can shift multiple gears in one push in both directions.
But the mechanical brake version is different, the thumb lever only shifts one cog at the time.

I received R9 mechanical a few weeks ago, haven't mounted them on the bike yet...

I should have the new RX mechanical version on the way next week. Looking forward to getting it on the bike and seeing how it compares to the Sensah Empire pro I've been using the last couple seasons.

The hydraulic shifters have also been updated so that the thumb lever only shifts one cog at a time.

I have an older R9 hydraulic set where the thumb lever can do shift multiple gears, but the R9 hydraulic set that I bought recently can only do one at a time.

The logo on the larger shift paddle is different on the two versions.

Did the max cassette size change? I'm seeing listings saying its now 50t plus capable.

Mine is the road R9, not the gravel GR9. The RD in my new group looks the same as the one from the old group, so max 32T by spec. But I'm using Shimano derailleurs, so haven't inspected in detail or tested the claim.
