SHIMANO GRX Di2 12v TRANSMISSION OPTIONS
This new generation of electronic components is an additional transmission option in front of the mechanical version unveiled last year. The new GRX RX825 Di2 levers, complementary satellite buttons, derailleurs combined with existing components (cassette, crankset, chain) offer a high-performance and reliable 12-speed transmission in electronic version to all gravel riders.
As with the RX820 mechanicals, riders have the choice of a 48-31 tooth double crankset or a 46-30 tooth version with the RX620 crankset. Likewise, riders can choose between an 11-36 or 11-34 tooth cassette for a wide choice of ratios with close ratios. All offering an always optimal pedaling cadence.

Each of these gear combinations pairs with the latest carbon gravel wheels, the WH-RX880. With a 25mm internal width and a DIRECT ENGAGEMENT freewheel, the RX880 provides a vital connection between rider and road, whether rough or smooth.
GEAR SHIFT FOR GRAVEL
Like its similar 12-speed groupsets, DURA-ACE, ULTEGRA, and SHIMANO 105 Di2, the new GRX Di2 is wired where it makes sense, with a central battery that provides stable, long-lasting power to the front and rear derailleurs. Smaller diameter wires run from the battery to each derailleur, eliminating junctions and streamlining the assembly process. The internal battery also simplifies charging and is protected from dirt, stones and external elements that you may encounter while cycling.

CUSTOMIZATION OF ORDERS
The new Di2 system also allows the setting of Di2 buttons to operate various accessories; another key advantage of electronic shifting. By pressing one of the satellite buttons on Shimano shifters, whether on the top of the cover, in the pocket of the handlebars or from a button integrated into an aero handlebar for example, cyclists can maintain their effort more consistently , without needing to move your hands. Like the 3rd button on the GRX Di2 dual-control controllers, these satellite buttons can be assigned various functions such as changing gears, controlling lights and compatible GPS, or as an RPM trigger button during training.
THE NEW REAR DERAILLEUR
The RX825 rear derailleur features pioneering SHIMANO SHADOW RD+ technology. With its on/off lever, SHADOW RD+ technology makes it easier to remove the rear wheel when it is deactivated. When activated, the transmission is put under additional tension for smoother, quieter shifting.
As with Shimano Road 12-speed Di2 drivetrains, the rear derailleur is the brain of the drivetrain. It communicates wirelessly with controllers, compatible GPS devices and the E-TUBE PROJECT Cyclist app via a smartphone. It also houses the charging port and a multifunction button that allows riders to easily check the battery level, pair via Bluetooth, and enter adjustment mode for both derailleurs.

The result is easier, more intuitive shifting for beginner riders, and faster decision-making for experienced riders in the heat of competition.
