I kind of like that button battery idea on the LTwoo...  I keep one of those in my tool roll anyways for my HRM and you can get them for under $2 a pop and rechargeable options too.   No need to worry about finding some proprietary battery.  I wonder if that seat post battery is a couple of 18650 batteries or something similarly easy to obtain and replace.

I really hope LTwoo sticks to Campy-style shifting. I never liked Di2 because the shift buttons are way to close together.

Looks great! Any other details...price, availability. Also the the e in eRX means electronic?

LTWOO looks to go the route of SRAM, with a single paddle, isn't it ?

I have setup my Campagnolo EPS to act like SRAM  8)
Unfortunately they do not allow simultaneous tap to toggle the rings.
I so much of a fan, that my MTB works the same, with two blips buttons, to shift, and act on the dropper when pressed simultaneously.

Certainly looks like 2023 could be a big year for L-Twoo - hopefully they can iron out any issues from the hydraulic road mechanical launch and get supply meeting demand along with developing the electronic groupset.

The year of the groupsets. Hoping Sensah makes some waves with their upcoming kit as well.

Anyone tried their hydraulic brifters with Shimano / Magura / Campag calipers yet?

The Onirii XR calipers work on both L-TWOO and ST-R785 brifters, so it should be fine

EDIT: RX brifters w/ BR-R785 calipers

Definitely SRAM like.
They have the same pairing buttons behind the paddle.
There is a battery on the front derailleur.
It looks the rear derailleur can be charged too, but the battery looks to be hidden behind in the pictures, or very small.

I think having read somewhere SRAM had a patent on having the batteries on the derailleurs, making them the only one 100% wireless. Forcing Shimano to have a wire between the derailleurs, or there is another reason?

Wheel Top is wireless and L-TWOO should be semi-wireless with a seatpost battery ala Shimano

nothing concrete yet on pricing, weight and release date

Price will be key. I plan to rebuild my canyon ultimate with the L-TWOO, I keep my breath !

It looked like a charger cable to me, and the front derailleur is so big, so I dreamed about batteries on derailleurs  ::)

Perhaps the battery is non-removable but needs to be charged on-bike? That could be a way around the patent.

I also look forward to more L-Twoo groupsets, but they'll have to lower the price. Currently, I can buy a GRX 600 groupset for the same price as an L-Twoo RX, so why would I take the risk...
