CX - 2025/26 updates.

The Forwards CX has received a range of significant upgrades for the 2025–26 season, enhancing both performance and reliability. The drivetrain now features Shimano’s latest 12-speed wireless system, including the GRX RD-RX827 rear derailleur and ST-RX825 shifters, paired with an XT 10-51T Micro Spline cassette and a Shimano XT 12-speed chain. The bike is equipped with the Shimano GRX FC-RX820 crankset, available with either a 40T or 42T chainring, and benefits from the improved GRX BR-RX820 brake calipers, which offer 10% increased pad clearance for better modulation and reduced drag.

Further refinements include the newly released 2025 PRO PLT handlebar and stem combination, a PRO heavy-duty seat clamp, as well as small but meaningful additions like Zeal crank arm bumpers and a Click Valves.
