Shimano GRX 1×12 Speed Gravel Rear Derailleur RD-RX822

Gravel cycling shouldnt be a complicated affair. The appeal of this cycling discipline, with its drop bars and dirt roads, lies in its simplicity, openness, and adventure. No route is impossible. Anyone can ride. The gear must be functional and reliable without breaking the bank. Thats why whether youre a gravel veteran or a newcomer to rugged paths and trails, youll be thrilled with the latest version of the GRX, Shimanos pioneering gravel-specific component group.

If your goal is to achieve better personal times on your next tour or you want to compete in a race, youll appreciate the gearing of the RX820 1×12 setup with a 10-45 cassette and a 40 or 42 tooth chainring. Like its 11-speed predecessor, the RX820 offers smooth and reliable shifting, but now has a wider range and an extra cog, making it easier to find the optimal cadence to maintain your position in the field. This system uses a central cage rear derailleur with an integrated SHADOW PLUS chain stabilizer for quieter shifting and a more secure chain guide on rough terrain. Dont worry about the next shift, focus on leaving the competition behind.

If all-day or multi-day adventures with lots of climbs are your thing, the new RX820 1×12 UNSTOPPABLE option with SHIMANO’s wide range of 10-51T cassettes is ideal. Combined with a 40 or 42 tooth chainring, youll never run out of gears even on the steepest village roads or in the high mountains. Like the 1×12 variant with 10-45T, this group also features an integrated SHADOW-PLUS chain stabilizer for optimal chain security and an ON/OFF switch, allowing for quick and easy wheel removal in case of a flat.

Both 1×12 options use Micro Spline, Shimano’s lightweight aluminum freehub design that perfectly combines with a small 10-tooth cog and features smaller, spaced teeth that reduce cog wear. The 1×12 Gravel chainrings and cranksets are available in three crank arm lengths so you can choose the ideal Shimano GRX setup for your needs and riding style.
