Shimano GRX vs Shimano CUES: Which group to choose for your bike?

Shimano offers two distinct groups, GRX and CUES, which meet different uses. Here is a comparison to help you choose the most suitable for your practice.

1. Presentation of ranges

GRX: designed for gravel and adventure

The Shimano GRX is a range dedicated to gravel and off-road adventures. It is distinguished by:

• Developments adapted to various terrains (mono and double plateau).
• Ergonomics designed for off-road control and comfort.
• Compatibility with road and mountain bike transmissions for more versatility.
• A chain stabilizer derailleur technology (Shadow RD+).

CUES: a versatile and sustainable group

The Shimano CUES is a recent range aimed at versatility and sustainability, ideal for:

• The trekking, urban and mountain bikes leisure.
• Transmission unispec (cross-compatibility between 9-11 speed speeds).
• A robust design with Linkglide technology, reducing wear of components.

2. Technical comparison

3. Which group?

• If you do engravel or bikepacking, opt for the GRX, which offers reliable and efficient off-road transmission.
• If you are looking for a robust and durable transmission for daily use or a trekking bike CUES with Linkglide is an excellent choice.

In summary:

• GRX = Performance and versatility for gravel
• CUES = Robustness and compatibility for trekking and cycling

If you have mixed use, choose according to your priorities: off-road comfort and performance (GRX) or durability and wide compatibility (CUES).
