Shimano launches new electronic 12-speed GRX
has expanded its gravel components range by launching GRX RX825 12-speed Di2. With Shimano's Dura-Ace, Ultegra and 105 road groupsets firmly in the 12-speed Di2 realm, the Japanese giant's gravel-specific GRX line was at a bit of a crossroads following the launch of thelast August, as electronic GRX was still 11-speed. That is no more though, as the new 12-speed GRX Di2 gets wireless shifting and redesigned shifters. It is currently only compatible with a 2x setup, though..
Similar to all Shimano Di2 shifters, they operate on replaceable coin cell batteries, with an expected lifespan of 3.5 to 4 years.Shimano's new Di2 system also allows for accessory shift buttons. Shimano's satellite shifters can be positioned anywhere on your bike's handlebars to enable quicker shifting during efforts without the need to move your hands.
There are a number of components that are shared between the mechanical RX820 GRX and Di2 RX820 groupsets, with the crankset, chain, cassette and brakes all being the same whether you choose cables or wires.
