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.

Shimano's Deore XT hydraulic T8100 brake lever features a longer 3-finger lever and I-SPEC II mounting capability. Compatible with 4-piston brake calipers, the BL-T8100 lever provides greater stopping power and intuitive modulation tuned for both standard bikes and E-bikes.Ergonomic and powerful Servo Wave XT hydraulic disc brake levers offer exceptional control and modulationShort stroke Servo-Wave mechanism for quick pad engagement and more power for aggressive ridingAn increase in pad clearance at the calliper has enabled Shimano to use their proven Servo Wave technology. As the brake lever is pulled a cam linkage enables rapid pad to rotor engagement, at the point of contact the cam moves across multiplying the leverage ratio and increasing the stopping powerAdjustable free stroke enables you to fine tune the amount of lever pull before pad and rotor engagementI-spec-EV compatibleEasy access no tools lever reach adjustment dial for custom lever feel and positionForged alloy brake lever for optimum strength and reliabilityMineral oil brake fluid is non-corrosive and less hazardous than conventional hydraulic brake fluidHinged clamp for quick installationI-spec-II compatible

The Shimano 105 R7070 hydraulic road disc brake offers an ideal balance of light weight and efficient braking, making it the perfect choice for both enthusiast and competitive riders.Front: Use for flat mount forks with adaptor (Included) to flip between 140 and 160mmRear: Use for 140 mm flat mount frames, can be used with adaptor (not included) for 160mmOversized 22mm ceramic pistons optimised for heat insulation, lightweight & stiffnessIncreased pad to rotor clearance & inline hose routing for low profile designRotors not includedWorking as a hydraulic setup by means of the non-corrosive mineral oil brake fluid, these flat mounting calipers work with 140mm rotors as standard but can be adapted for use with a 160mm diameter rotors with ease. A one-way internal fluid circuit and easily adjusted and bled, this caliper benefits from increased clearances to assure you that your rotors won't ever catch or drag when riding. With oversized 22mm ceramic pistons optimised for heat insulation, Shimano recommends that you use its own Ice Tech Centre-Lock SM-RT70 disc rotors for optimum braking performance.
Its compressionless links enhance your braking performance due to their ability to bend without kinking, ensuring your frame’s cable routing design doesn’t compromise cable movement. Also included are Jagwire's Elite ultra-slick polished cables and slick-lube liners to ensure friction-free operation and enhanced braking modulation. Features: Compressionless link housing with extreme flexibility Links pre-installed on inner housing segments 50% lighter than traditional coiled steel outer; 30% lighter than Kevlar® outer Durable, ultra-slick polished inner cables Aluminium housing won’t kink or rust Contents: 1x 400mm link segment on 2,000mm lubed liner 1x 400mm link segment on 610mm lubed liner 1x 240mm link segment on 710mm lubed liner 1x 850mm Elite ultra-slick polished stainless front brake inner cable 1x 1,650mm Elite ultra-slick polished stainless front brake inner cable 26x extra links 2x CGX-SL brake housing segment, 300mm 2x open alloy end caps 2x adapter end caps to 5mm housing stop 2x adapter end caps to 5mm brake housing 2x colour-matched cable tips 7x mini tube tops 3x cable donuts 2x rotating hooks Technologies: Alloy Interconnecting Links: Aluminium, lightweight, lubricated links are a more efficient alternative to traditional compressionless housing as this system is made of nesting alloy pieces that protect the liner. Although this housing is typically more expensive, it has several advantages including increased flexibility, reduced weight, and increased durability. Both shift and brake housings use identical slick-lube liners and interconnecting alloy pieces. STS-EL Cables: These pre-stretched, highly polished, uncoated slick stainless steel spiral-bound cables deliver the ultimate low-friction performance and can be used with any housing and lubricant. These Elite level cables deliver incredibly accurate, smooth performance.
