Shimano GRX Gravel Components | New Brakes, Gears & Wheels

Shimano has today announced a whole range of gravel components under its new GRX name. Sitting alongside its existing road groupsets, GRX adds new hydraulic disc STI levers, cyclocross-style in-line levers, clutch-equipped derailleurs and cranks, including — for the very first time from Shimano — dedicated 1x components for drop-bar bikes.

There’s also a new ‘gravel-tuned’ wheelset available in both 650b and 700c versions. Curiously, while 11-speed riders will have the choice of 1x or 2x cranks, the 10-speed cranks are 2x-only, although doubtless some riders will throw caution to the wind and mix and match components.
