“Gravel cycling is rooted in its simplicity, inclusivity, and curiosity. Everyone from first-timers to grizzled veterans counts on Shimano GRX, the industry’s first gravel-specific groupset, for smooth shifting, reliable braking, and exceptional gravel comfort.” – https://bike.shimano.com
“SHIMANO GRX, with its gravel specific ergonomics, optimized gearing options, rugged reliability, and quiet and stable drivetrain, sets itself apart from the rest of the component world. It isn’t a reworked set of road components. It represents a ground up look at how cyclists want to explore their world. SHIMANO GRX helps you eliminate excuses, instead urging you to try that rough sidetrack or ride that little bit longer. It offers you the option to Explore Beyond.”

In this video, JOM of the Gravel Cyclist crew covers the key details of Shimano’s new to market 12-Speed GRX Di2 semi-wireless shifting and braking system. Additionally, he provides shifting demonstrations, and first impressions, all of which will lead to a long-term review, coming later.
Reminder: ALWAYS BE A STEWARD FOR GRAVEL CYCLING: Respect the roads, respect the locals, respect the land, respect your fellow cyclists.

Does the new GRX Di2 block small / small shifting like the 11 speed Di2? (Can’t use the 2 small cogs on the cassette when in the small ring on the crank).
