Instead of telling gravel riders what they needed, we asked them what they wanted. Shimano spent two years listening and countless hours speaking with gravel enthusiasts from all over the world. We took to dirt and gravel roads, narrow singletrack paths, creek crossings, and mountain passes to test ourselves and our notions of drop bar cycling. We pinned on race numbers and packed up bikepacking bags. We choked on dust and reveled in mud. And the result of all that riding and all those new friendships? First, Shimano’s Gravel Alliance and now, Shimano GRX, the world’s first dedicated gravel component series.Choice. Shimano’s new GRX line is all about choice. Shimano doesn’t want to pigeonhole the way you ride, or decide for you what the best solution is for your riding style. While we’ve long been fans of double chainring drivetrains, we also recognize the value of a single chainring system. With GRX, Shimano offers both, each with gearing options that allow you to tailor your drivetrain to suit your tastes.With two different derailleur cage lengths, Shimano GRX ensures stable shifting and chain retention across a wide range of gearing options. Looking for maximum range while maintaining road cassette progression? Go with GRX’s 800 series 2x11 RD-RX810 or Di2 RD- RX815 rear derailleurs, designed for close ratio clusters, with 48/31 chainrings and an 11-34 cassette. Paired with 700c x 40mm tires, it delivers a top gear similar to a road bike with 25mm tires and a 50 x 11 gear. And on the low end, with its 31 x 34 combination, you get a gear that early mountain bikers would envy. It is the lowest gear currently on offer for premium road drivetrains (aside from Shimano’s own GRX 2x10 30-36 offering), perfect for climbing loose, dirt and gravel surfaces.Want to drop some weight, simplify your shifting, and still maintain a versatile range? Consider the 1x11 GRX option with either Shimano’s 11-40 or 11-42 cassette and a 40 or 42-tooth equipped crankset, shifted by a RD-RX812 or Di2 RD-RX817 wide ratio rear derailleur. You’ll lose a little, absolute top speed, but still love the 1:1 low gear ratio. If you live in an area without sustained or steep climbs, you might love the smaller gear steps of that same 1x11 front chainring with an 11-34 cassette. Options abound.What about when the weather turns autumnal and you contract a case of cyclocross fever? GRX 1x11 can quickly transform from gravel fun to CX focused with the change of a cassette.No matter the option you select, GRX rear derailleur offerings feature Shimano’s SHADOW Plus chain stabilizer that can be turned on or off depending on conditions. SHADOW Plus revolutionized the mountain bike world and now it’s been tuned for gravel and rough road riding in GRX. With a quieter drivetrain, SHADOW Plus helps you engage with your surroundings and enjoy time outside.Today’s gravel riders demand more of their bikes and of themselves. Shimano GRX gives them the options they need to Explore Beyond, tailoring their drivetrains to suit their needs and exceed their expectations. We’ll see you out there!Designed for riding on rough roads, through gravel and mud, to be able to carry on in comfort, stress-free, to wherever you want, to allow you to achieve that unique sense of accomplishment.

Shimano XTR M9120 Disc BrakeShimano have once again pushed the bar for what a hydraulic disc brake can achieve. The new XTR M9120 brake system features a redesigned brake lever, which increases ergonomics, comfort, reach adjustment accuracy and braking control. The lever clamp has also been enhanced to ensure the handlebar connection is as stiff and direct as possible to increase control even further. This brake provides the ultimate in mountain biking disc brake control, performance and reliability.Increased Performance and ReliabilityThe new caliper is equipped with 4 pistons, is constructed from high-end aluminium and uses an exceptional high rigidity brake line. This brake is perfect for pro-level racing as it is for providing unmatched braking performance in your local XC rides and demanding trail sessions. The XTR system has always led by example, showing how great a MTB disc brake system can be, and increases on this performance-level, super-lightweight and reliability every season.Features: Material: Aluminium Type: Hydraulic Disc Brake Use: XC, Marathon, Trail Brake Lever Adjustment: Tool-free Reach Adjust, Free Stroke Adjust Brake Hose Kit: SM-BH90-SBM Hose Joint: Banjo Brake Fluid: Shimano Mineral Oil Caliper Mount: Post Mount Brake Pad Compound: Resin Piston Count: 4-PotA 2-year warranty is offered with all Shimano products from Chain Reaction Cycles (3 years on Dura-Ace and XTR products).Buy Shimano Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Shimano R785/805 Hydraulic Di2 Disc Brake This high-quality disc brake set is specifically engineered for road use as it gives you smooth and reliable stopping power. It features some of the best technologies around, so you can tackle whatever obstacles come your way when navigating around the urban landscape. Using Free Stroke technology, it allows you to adjust the distance from the initial lever position to the pad contact point for a natural hand position. Its advantageous hood position lets you apply higher braking power with less effort, making it ideal for cyclocross riding. This hydraulic model is an excellent choice of upgrade for riders who want to stay at the top of their game. Features: Use: Cyclocross, Road Speed: 11 speed Versatile and effortless operation Fits any hand size Reach Adjust Weight: 500g pair (approx)Technologies Shimano Electronic Intelligent System: The SEIS innovative shift technology is still based on the SHIMANO INDEX SYSTEM (SIS) that has proved its superior gear changing characteristics over the years. The big difference is that in this case, the shifting action is provided for by electronics instead of mechanics. Servo Wave Action: When you pull a Servo Wave brake lever, initial pad travel is fast, so little lever movement is needed to bring the pads into contact with the rotor. The power multiplication factor then increases rapidly at the pad-to-rim contact so more of the lever stroke is used to apply greater braking power with improved control. Free Stroke: The distance from the initial lever position to pad contact point can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences. Reach Adjust: Brake lever is equipped with a reach adjust mechanism. The distance from handlebar grip to lever can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences. A 2-year warranty is offered with all Shimano products from Chain Reaction Cycles (3 years on Dura-Ace and XTR products).Buy Shimano Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
