GRX Di2 ST-RX825-L Brake/Shift Lever Combination Front Wheel with BR-RX820 Disc Brake, J-Kit Direct

United in Gravel!
With a clear focus on the heart and soul of gravel biking, SHIMANO’s electronic 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!

With the GRX ST-RX825 brake/shift lever combination, SHIMANO not only supports the new 12-speed gravel drivetrains, but also cuts the cable connection to the rear derailleur and front derailleur, as it did with the road bike groupsets.
An integrated radio transmitter, powered by two CR1632 button cells, sends the shifting commands wirelessly to the rear derailleur as the master unit, which in turn forwards them to the front derailleur. The complex cabling in the cockpit area with junction box and Bluetooth module is now a thing of the past.

Thanks to the raised hoods, a textured surface and an anti-slip coating, the ergonomic brake lever offers more security and control. Its design is ideal for flared handlebars, which are becoming increasingly popular in the gravel sector.  The left brake lever also has the innovative FRONT SHIFT NEXT function. This is a gravel-specific button on the inside of the grip surface to operate the derailleur with the thumb.
