12-speed Di2 New User Guide
Just bought a new 12-speed Di2 bike? This page explains what the buttons do, how to charge, and what synchronized shfit does.
Front Derailleur
GRX FD-RX825
Shimano's twelve-speed GRX RX825 Di2 gravel front derailleur was designed to be used with a 47mm chain line (+2.5mm compared to 12-speed road) . It is meant to be paired with the GRX rear derailleur, RD-RX825, but it'll work with other 12-speed road derailleurs and shifters too.
The derailleur's total capacity is 17T and supports 46-50T top gear teeth.

Just like the 12-speed 105 front derailleur, this FD-RX825 has one top limit screw and one electronic limit.
If you want to build a 1x GRX bike, you can omit the front derailleur. You don't have to install it in order for the bike to work.
