Reviews & Ratings
The L-TWOO RX 12 Disc 2x12s Aluminium Road Hydraulic Disc Brake Groupset is a budget-oriented Chinese groupset that offers 12-speed mechanical shifting with hydraulic disc brakes. It features a Campagnolo-style thumb shifter for downshifts and a lever for upshifts, with multiple shifts possible in both directions on some versions. The groupset includes aluminium shift levers, a front derailleur with integrated cable adjuster, a rear derailleur with carbon cage, and hydraulic calipers that require adapters for mounting. Weights are competitive: shifters around 582g, brakes with hoses and adapters 372g, rear derailleur 218g, front derailleur 108g. The system uses mineral oil and is compatible with Shimano 11/12-speed pull ratios, allowing mixing with Shimano derailleurs. However, users report numerous issues: poor shifting performance, especially on smaller cogs; weak rear derailleur spring; fragile plastic shift levers; difficult bleeding; and inconsistent quality control. The groupset is often compared unfavorably to Shimano 105/GRX and Sensah alternatives, though some find it acceptable for the price.
