Shimano GRX Limited 2x11 Mechanical Groupset

The Shimano GRX Limited Groupset offers a unique aluminum finish look for frame builders who want to bring a different aesthetic to their gravel bike. This version offers 2x 11-speed shifting and includes a front derailleur. The front derailleur offers lighter front shifting operation and easier setup with a new link construction and integrated cable tensioner. It also allows clearance for wider tires to be used which is essential for mixed terrain riding. It leaves 2.5mm more space than a conventional road derailleur, so you can equip your bike with the tools you need to venture off road.

The rear derailleur offers a nearly silent shifting experience along with fast and smooth gear changes. It includes an integrated chain stabilizer mechanism which provides maximum security on difficult terrain. When riding on smooth surfaces, you have the option to turn the chain tensioner on or off to customize your riding experience. It adequately manages the included Steps E6000 Super Narrow Chain which is more efficient and silent than ever. It also has excellent durability so less maintenance is required over the course of its life.

All of this leads to the smoothest possible operation of the 2x11 GRX Limited Gravel Crankset. It is specially designed to balance weight and efficiency for proper mixed-terrain riding. Crank arms are available in different lengths and are specifically geared to gravel riding. Gravel gear ratios result in rhythmic riding over rough surfaces with wider tires. Hoolowtech crank arms keep things lightweight and incredibly durable. It is connected to the 11-speed cassette which offers low climbing gears that are perfect for gravel riding. Both 10 and 11-speed freehubs will work with the cassette.

Shifting and braking is all taken care of with the help of the Hydraulic Disc Brake Dual Control Levers. These levers deliver light and responsive shifting that is needed across a wide variety of terrain. They are ergonomically comfortable and intuitive for quick shifts and modulated braking. They help operate the Hydraulic Disc Brake Caliper which has a low-profile flat mount design to provide better control to gravel riders. The pad clearance is 10 percent wider than usual which decreases brake noise. The caliper also features a maintenance-friendly bleeding process. As a whole, the Shimano GRX Limited Groupset gives you a new aesthetic and level of confidence for all-terrain riding.
