Seems the lineup is a bit of an unknown currently..
When GRX came out in 2019 is was fully mechanical and encompassed three levels:
- 400: 10sp / Tiagra equivalent
- 600: 11sp / 105 equivalent
- 810: 11sp / Ultegra equivalent
More recently the 12sp 820 series has been released and the 810 stuff has unsurprisingly taken a significant hit on price (shop around and most can be had for around half of RRP) - however all of the 400/600/810 stuff is still listed on Shimano's website.
Can anyone shed any light on whether Shimano are still producing 810 (and the other, lower-end stuff)?
Given that there's little precedent for Shimano to retain older groupsets of lower speeds once a new one's been released, as well as the fact that it looks like CUES will essentially replace everything that's not 12sp I'd be surprised if these lines are still being manufactured.
Possibly still offloading stock from the post-Covid glut perhaps..?
