12 speed carbon groupset for £200 - L-TWOO RX #shorts

I purchased an L-TWOO RX 12 speed groupset from AliExpress a few weeks ago, and its just turned up at my house.

It cost me just over £200, which is frankly ridiculous considering what you get. Plus from what I have seen so far, the build quality seems pretty decent, especially the carbon fibre parts!

Now I've used a cheap carbon groupset in the past from Sensah. Their Empire groupset has a similar construction with carbon brake levers, and carbon rear derailleur cage. I used it for a few thosand miles in total, and you can check out that video here:

I have also previously used and reviewed the R9 11 speed groupset from L-TWOO, and you can find that review here

I predict Sensah & L-Twoo will wind up being the groupsets on lower-level road bikes, along with Campagnolo Chorus.

L-Twoo making moves. Their AX-11 MTB groupset is fantastic value as well.

Really fancy looking! Seems like the most affordable way to get a high performance road bike is to build one out of lesser known parts now. I personally love that, I love speccing out and building stuff myself!

[reapanomin]

I find the L-TWOO groupset a tad more alluring personally for just one thing: the brifters are basically copies of Campy brifters.

That being said, I'm also curious about how well they fare in the long run.

They look nice, really looking forward to the new bike.👍

Been using mine for a year and its still good and no problem

[urieelSEptim]

i have their cheaper mtb rear derailleur, holds up really well and works like a charm. looking forward to your new build!

Could you do an elves frame build next? would love to see how it performs

[meegel]

YESSS cant wait to see this dem shifters look good

[dennisbaron]

i have the groupset and have raced in italy on it for two months, its good

[alejandro.shot]

These carbon Sensah/Ltwoo shifters are never that 'lightweight'. I would wish a Sram Red or Dura Ace weight but it's more something between 105 and Ultegra. : (
Anyway the price it's great if it is long lasting (at least 50.000km or so)

Very LTWoo-curious for a Cinelli Vigorelli Road frame i just picked up.

[jimbo]

These if I'm correct are somewhat based around Campy while Sensah Empire is based around SRAM. Will be interesting to know if the front shifter has the same multiple incremental clicks that Campy has.

[hebleh]

Nice! Really nice. But sadly there still isnt any cheap carbon lever full

[mikkelhenriksen]

Will you do a long term review on L-twoo 12speed

[DIVISIVEINERRANTIST]

Hey Luke, do you have any suggestions for SRAM double tap equivalent shifters from aliexpress that are decent? Thanks man.

[AliAdam]

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW BUDGET BUILD 😠

[Obsdarkside]

I've a mechanical disc cannondale synapse and the brakes are rubbish. I like this, I could get on board

[HoangNguyen-dyik]

I bought a pair of Ltwoo R9, somehow I can not make it shift on the R7000 deraileur, but it shift nicely on the 4700 deraileur, I dont know which part is wrong :(

[kamilk]

i'm a bit worried with the price point of that carbon frame. Stay safe
