The Shimano BL-RX825 Left Brake Lever is purpose-built for gravel and adventure cyclists running a 1x Di2 drivetrain. Designed as a lightweight, dedicated brake-only lever, it pairs seamlessly with the right-side ST-RX825 dual control lever and the RX827 Di2 1x Rear Derailleur, providing a clean and efficient setup for riders who prioritize simplicity on rugged terrain. Engineered specifically for mixed-surface and off-road conditions, the BL-RX825 features Shimano’s signature gravel ergonomics—raised lever hoods, a ribbed surface texture, and an anti-slip coating that enhances grip and control even in wet or muddy environments. Its slim profile and refined design integrate flawlessly with flared handlebars, allowing for improved hand positioning and confidence on technical descents or rough terrain. The lever’s purposeful simplicity and tactile design reduce distraction and increase security when braking gets critical. Whether you're racing a gravel series, bikepacking into the unknown, or charging through washboard roads, the BL-RX825 delivers the responsive braking and refined fit you expect from Shimano GRX—without the clutter of a front shifter. This is the ideal solution for modern 1x gravel drivetrains where every detail matters.
