Will GRX go 12 speed?
Knowing that Shimano has already deployed 12-speed in its mountain bike line, and given GRX already borrows heavily from mountain bike products in other areas, not bringing 12-speed across, particularly at Di2 1x level, seems like a missed opportunity.
Is Shimano acera any good?
The shifting capabilities of Acera Altus are noticeably better than that of Tourney – it might still be a bit loud and clumsy, but it’s much more reliable and precise. Shimano Altus and Acera components use these model numbers/ranges: M2000 (3×9), M300, and M400.
Will an XT cassette work with GRX?
Is this possible? Dear Jeff, No, the fact that the GRX shifter and derailleur shift on an XT cassette means nothing about the cable pull of the derailleur other than that it is matched to the lever so that it will shift on cassettes with that same spacing between the cogs.
Is GRX 11 or 12 speed?
GRX seems to give Shimano plenty of space to introduce a high-performance version with a 12-speed range based on its new Micro Spline standard. As it stands today, SRAM still has an advantage in high-end gravel performance.
Which is the best groupet company in the world?

Which is the fourth tier of Shimano groupset?
Then comes Tiagra, a 10-speed groupset that offers a near-105 experience, but economizes in specific areas, for example with one-piece brake pads rather than higher quality cartridges. Tiagra is Shimano’s fourth-tier groupset. It sits beneath Dura-Ace, Ultegra, and 105.
