- Fully wireless
- SRAM clip-on style battery
- USB-C charging port integrated into battery
No word on drop-bar compatibility yet.

Interesting, hopefully a bit cheaper that wheeltop

Whoa, how'd they get around SRAM's patent hoarding on the removable RD battery? The other question, can this sync with the current eGR shifters? I don't see why they couldn't sync together. If so, I know what I'll be ordering in the next few months for my gravel bike! ;D

Joe has said apparently they are cross compatible with drop-bar levers in a reply to one of the comments - this could make for an interesting gravel option then (if it's reliable...).

That's great. Since we know eGR and eR9/eRX levers are all cross compatible, it seems to indicate this is all one big, happy electronic shifting parts family. Pick an RD, pick a shifter, and have fun! Ltwoo might still have some things to work out, but I really like some of their system ideas (non-proprietary battery cells for their road units was another idea I'm a HUGE fan of).
-
GCN have confirmed compatibility with all of L-Twoo's other levers in their video from Taipei day 2 (and even demonstrated it with the TT levers).
-
anybody know when it will be available? cannot wait to try on on my gravel bike.
-
This also guarantees they can be paired with eRX FD too right?
Pair one shifter to eRX FD and the other to eTX RD for a widerange 2x setup? The seatpost battery powering just the FD is weird, but that's a setup I want
-
Unless they changed it for the new releases, the fd has no logic or wireless signal reception. It's a slave unit to the rd which has all tge "brains", so you would need an rd that supports this.
-
That's what I feared. Huge miss. That fucking sucks

The RD is the "master" or the system, so it seems to handle the communication, both with the brifters and the FD. This one might not have the ability to control an FD, but I believe someone confirmed the eGR does.
If that's true, then you could do what you want with the new eGR that was announced, now with 50t compatibility.

I just realized ZRace was already posting about the LTwoo eTX back in November 2024 on Chinese social media! I didn't even notice it. I could have given all of you the advance notice last year! :D
-
any news on when these will likely be released?
-
Ltwoo YouTube channel is being populated with a bunch of how to video of eTX groupset

They said October, unsure on price but there is a website showing prices in South Africa for preorder.
-
Looking forward to trying this with my eGR shifters.
-
Joe from panda podium has one on his altera build paired with the road shifters, so hoping it pops up on panda podium soon.
-
Any idea when this is getting released and cost estimate?
I've been holding off going SRAM Eagle AXS upgrade in anticipation of this. thanks

I saw somewhere Oct release date but Nov is about here so I'm willing to bet we're looking at 2026.

Will they wait for the Black Friday to be over?

The eTX will need to shift just as fast as the eGR for me to consider it. Wheeltop's full wireless GeX shifts a bit slower/clunkier compared to eGR's wired battery setup. Not sure if that's a Wheeltop thing or an advantage of wired battery rear derailleurs?

I would imagine it to be more of a wheeltop thing on the slower shifting, since the derailleurs aren't wired directly to the shifters but just the battery. My new ER7 shifts a bit better than my gen 1 erx, the FD is significantly better.
I bet they will do the classic China full release and we'll have to get lucky getting it from random ali vendors.

The upcoming eTX will be full wireless with a separate battery attachment like Wheeltop. LTwoo eGR performs faster under pedal load compared to GeX. I constantly ride both my setups so I can tell the differences in performance.
That's why I want to know if the wired battery actually has an advantage in performance or if it's just a design issue unique to Wheeltop's implementation of wireless RD shifting. ;)

I getcha now, fingers crossed its still crisp, I was looking at the wheelstop stuff but after reading the forums it sounds like waiting on LTWOO will likely be more worth. Plus this new hood shape is amazing

Any news in regards to a release date for the eXT group set?
I can't find anything.

Havent seen anything either yet. I keep an eye on Alix in case some seller sneaks a version on.

Looks like etx is on the chinese page, nothing on the us page tho.
https://www.ltwoo.com/cn/productDetails?series=ETX&productName=RD-ET1202
Also noticed they're releasing a GRT 13spd group, so maybe we'll see 13spd offered on new products and the electronic stuff. Wishful thinking on this tho.

Just saw this video from pandapodium where he’s built up a gravel bike with eRX shifters and eTX rear derailleur.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT4J1wRAcEE
Can’t wait to see more info and tests on it.
-
Where can we buy this(for European customers)? And whats the price?

new eGR already has firmware updated to accept 13speed

The new gen with the integrated battery or the older version got the firmware update? I'm waiting on the new egr generation to release so if you have a spot to buy it, help a brother out lol

Not the eTX, but the shifter paired with a new integrated battery eR9 for a decent price.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012523399494.html
so a couple of hitches, smaller cassettes and no clutch...
if like me you use 40/42t cassettes it'll probably work OK (limit says 40T) and if the weight claims are right at 311g for the mech it's very light for a (mtb/gravel) derailleur, never mind an electronic one.
clutch may be an issue, or may not if you don't mind a bit of chain slap as I think chain ring retention is pretty much sorted now.
-
Any updates on release date? I haven't seen any info for a while.
-
There's a flatbar eGR with 50t capacity that I think could be used on mtb. Haven't seen anything mtb specific yet though.

on the face of it, it looks like what's been promised for the eTX. it seems to be a bit of a drip feed, but the price is decent enough.

The eTX was on display at the LTWOO booth during this year's Shanghai Bike Show. The display bore the label "二代升级" (Second-Generation Upgrade), indicating it is a second-generation model. Unlike the eRX, it is highly likely that LTWOO has been making repeated in-house improvements to the eTX.
