SHIMANO 12 Speed GRX 2X Drivetrain

Shimano GRX 2 X 12 gives huge value and superb performance. The drivetrain is designed for all day riding with exceptional shifting and braking, road ergonomics with optimized wide range gearing and unprecedented reliability.

The Carbon 3.0 has a full Shimano GRX Series drivetrain with a Clutched Adventure Rear derailleur keeps your chain secure and quiet, reducing shifting effort and chain slap. The Gravel 2x GRX crankset with 46/30T chainrings paired with an 11-36T 12-speed cassette gives you an evenly spaced full range of gearing for everything from fast gravel or road rides. 2X Set up favours road riding with closer spacing between gears for dialling in your preferred cadence. All the while giving you an even wider range of gears for high speed competitiveness and the ability to tackle the toughest climbs.

With a much better than 1:1 ratio to tackle any hill on any terrain and more than enough speed. Shimano GRX shifters / brake levers are precise and powerful and have all day comfort on the hoods and offer light, precise control and stability.

The GRX Hydraulic brakes provide powerful yet controlled stopping power in any condition and any road surface.

Introducing the b-TEAM Wheel Set !

For our first Wheel Set we decided to use a Al 6082 alloy welded rims with 25mm inside width and a Start Ratchet style free hub. The Ratchet hub gives you instant engagement, super reliability and easy, maintenance free operation.

Al 6082 is the highest strength of all the 6000 series alloys, with its high concentration of Manganese controlling the grain structures, and drastically increasing the overall strength and durability

The hubs feature an Al 7075 axle and free hub body, and a ‘Start Ratchet' style free hub mechanism. Service parts are readily available

Because of all this, these wheels get a ‘b-TEAM’ designation.

(Unfortunately the logo never made it to production on time! But its coming…)
