Shimano Unveils 12-Speed GRX Di2 with Wireless Features and Gravel Enhancements

Shimano has unveiled the GRX Di2 RX825, a redesigned electronic gravel groupset featuring a 12-speed cassette and a semi-wireless setup. While it boasts excellent ergonomics, top-tier shifting performance, and a competitive price, it lacks the much-anticipated wide-range 1x configuration. The new system includes independent shifters with long-lasting batteries and a single battery for the derailleurs, but it remains a 2x12 format for now. Despite its impressive features, the absence of a 1x option may overshadow its advancements.
