Di2 upgrade?

[livpoksoc]

Noticed that several outlets are selling Ultegra Di2 at a heavy discount - so wanted a sense check on if it can be put on my current bike.

I have a Giant Revolt 2.0 Advanced. Current groupset is a Shimano GRX, internal cables and hydro discs. Wheelset can handle 12spd, though currently running 11spd.

Thanks in advance

Isn’t Di2 double and GRX 1x ?

I wonder why it's so heavily discounted?

GRX does come in 2x

Cos it’s overpriced and not selling?

Because the industry is on it's knees and shifting stock at a discount is better than leaving it sitting on a shelf.

From what I understand Grx crank sets tend to be sub compact 46/32 ,pretty sure the smallest ultegra will be 50/34 will this suit your riding , Have you considered 105 Di2 normally £700 + cheaper differences are 150g heavier and no extra secret buttons on the shifters .
95% certain it would fit your bike ,would you DIY it or get a Lbs to do the work if so ask them

I did guess that but I thought I might get some interesting facetious answers

Hadn't considered the chainring sizes. Looking at the spec sheet, it's 32/48 and a 11-34 on the back.

On my older road bike, I run 105/tiagra mix of 50/34 and a 11-32 cassette.
