I have been looking forward to them since they were announced in ’22. They should have launched in early/mid ’23, but good things take time.
Apparrently they just launched them recently in Japan and they are still not featured on their website under “Products”.
I don’t like that everything is fibre reinforced plastic and no metal for the levers and paddles, but it is probably a sensible choice for precision and weight.
I like the eropower styling and that they are indeed very long. Ergopowers have great ergonomics, much appreciated over shimano, so i expect these to be good too. The additional lenght may allow another “triathlon-like” hand position on handlebars with a lot of reach.

No source outside of Japan yet from my understanding. But I am interested.

wouldn’t the shift lever stick out to one side or the other and not be flush with the brake lever?
wouldn’t it be hard to apply the force to shift? especially on the drops?

I wonder how comfortable downshifting wouldnbe from the drops.

Sounds like the best of both worlds.
