Unboxing the L-TWOO RX 12 speed. A brand new fully hydraulic carbon fibre groupset, does it live up to the hype?
Check out this wicked video by Joe from @ChinaCyclingfor some more context on this groupset:

L-TWOO are a Chinese company and have been in business producing great value groupsets since 2016. I have personally tried their R9 11 speed groupset, their GR9 gravel groupset, and most recently I have been riding their RX 12 speed mechanical groupset.
Their brand new RX Hydraulic, is the first fully hydraulic road bike groupset to come from a Chinese manufacturer, and directly compete with the likes of Shimano, Sram, and Campagnolo.
It’s 12 speed, uses lightweight carbon fibre shift paddles, offers fully hydraulic braking, and easily undercuts the competition in terms of pricing. To say I have been excited to try this out is a MASSIVE understatement.
It is relatively difficult to get hold of at the moment, as L-TWOO haven’t officially started to sell them outside of China. However, I paid a bit of a premium and bought my set from a re-seller on AliExpress.
In this episode, I’ll be unboxing the groupset, demonstrating the quality of the components, discussing the cost, the weight, and hopefully concluding whether this can compete with other fully hydraulic road bike groupsets on the market.

Creado: 24 de marzo de 2026El revisor desempaqueta y proporciona impresiones iniciales del grupo de frenos de disco hidráulico de carretera de carbono L-TWOO RX 12 Disc 2x12s, destacando sus materiales de alta calidad, mejoras de diseño reflexivas con respecto a versiones anteriores y una primera impresión general positiva. Señala que aunque el precio fue más alto que el de venta al por menor debido a la compra a un revendedor, el grupo parece ofrecer una buena relación calidad-precio. También menciona algunas preocupaciones sobre la rigidez del cambio izquierdo y el uso de pinzas de montaje post, pero en general está impresionado y ansioso por probarlo en una bicicleta.
