I've never installed a product in my life that simply worked so well right out of the box. I love that it has this Clutch feature as well! It's designed and build rock solid so I would Highly recommend it!
My gravel bike came stock with a Shimano 105 rear mech, which shifted flawlessly. I was getting a lot of chain slap on bumpy gravel roads and descents. This took care of 95% of it. I will occasional see chain lube marks from the chain on the chain stay but that is only after hitting significant hard bumps.
Love the GRX. 105 but for gravel. Works flawlessly. Very smooth shifting.
This shifter is noticeably quieter! It also tucks under the accelerated cassette to move it out of danger. Haven't used the clutch yet since we are mostly on limestone trails but it's there if I need it!
