GRX BL-RX820 Brake Lever for Single x 12-Speed with BR-RX820 Disc Brake (Left)

United in Gravel!
With a clear focus on the heart and soul of gravel biking, SHIMANO’s mechanical GRX series now gets a 12-speed update to deliver top performance!
Simplicity and reliability build the basis for the new 12-speed GRX line-up and allow you to enjoy off-road adventures of a special kind!

The left GRX BL-RX820 brake lever for easy single x 12-speed drivetrain configuration comes without a shifting function and offers maximum control and outstanding braking performance on rough terrain thanks to gravel-dedicated ergonomics.
The curved lever shape and the non-slip textures on the grip surfaces ensure optimum grip on rough gravel roads or during tough cyclocross use. Yet, the GRX levers also impress with high comfort and reliability on bike-packing adventures with lots of luggage and on daily commutes to work.

In combination with a powerful hydraulic BR-RX820 Flatmount disc brake, SHIMANO offers you a braking system with great braking performance and comfortable braking power modulation thanks to the SERVO-WAVE technology.
This provides high safety when riding your gravel bike in bad weather. A wide lever reach adjustment range tops off the package.

Gravel-specific ergonomics of brake lever and brake handle
SERVO-WAVE technology for maximum braking performance and outstanding braking power modulation
ONE WAY BLEEDING for quick and easy bleeding
