Shimano’s GRX groups launched a little while ago, along with gravel-specific alloy cockpit parts to complete the build. Which mainly meant a flared handlebar to go with the existing alloy post and stem. Now, they’re set to launch a new line of carbon parts under the Discover brand line. Joining them will be new frame bags, including a saddle bag, under-top tube frame bag, and a feed bag. Here’s a quick look on video, and photos…
Full specs and details won’t be released until September 4th, but we spotted these on our demo bikes at the GRX Di2 ride event. Shimano’s reps didn’t mind the cameras, but were staying tightlipped about any details.
From what we can tell, specs on the seatpost and handlebar will likely be similar to what’s offered in alloy, but weights should be a good bit lighter. And, more importantly, we expect them to be more compliant and better at damping vibration.
