We have to admit that there’s nothing really new about riding over unpaved gravel roads or field paths. Some tech-savvy bike enthusiasts that prefer bikes that are somewhere between road bikes, cyclocross bikes and mountain bikes have always used different parts of all categories to equip their exotic bikes to match their personal preferences. These types of cyclists simply don’t want to be limited in their rides.
So they go beyond where the paved roads end, and beyond their personal limits – true to the SHIMANO GRX motto: Explore Beyond!
The gravel trend makes this feeling of freedom accessible to anyone. Today, gravel bikes are much more common. They are true all-rounders that don’t show any weakness and require the best components for maximum performance.
SHIMANO has recognized this potential and launched its first complete, gravel-dedicated groupsets with its GRX Series components. GRX is NOT another, revised version of some road or MTB components, but a newly developed, sophisticated solution for all those who want to discover the world on the saddle and go beyond the end of paved roads.
That’s why SHIMANO has equipped all GRX groups with powerful disc brakes and brake/shift levers with gravel-specific ergonomics. Optimised cranksets for single and double chainring setups stand out for increased tyre clearance and offer the right gears for almost any situation in life. Rear mechs with SHIMANO SHADOW RD+ chain stabiliser allow for silent, crisp shifting while reducing chain bounce in rough terrain. MTB-inspired wheels in 700C and 650B impress with tubeless compatibility and agile handing.
And for all those who prefer electronic shifting systems, SHIMANO’s GRX is also available as a Di2 version.
So when will you go beyond your limits?
