Wheeltop EDS GeX Wireless 3-14 Speed 1x Groupset for Gravel:
"Compared to a mechanical derailleur, the Wheeltop Electronic Derailleur allows you to switch speeds easily." The system provides compatibility for any cassette, from 3 speed, to 14 speed. All of this is accomplished inside the Wheeltop App. Learn more about this system at https://wheeltop.us/products/wheeltop-eds-gex?utm_source=Youtube&utm_medium=KOL&utm_campaign=+Gravel+Cyclist

Who is Wheeltop?:
"WheelTop is a renowned manufacturer of high-quality bicycle transmission components. Established in 1951, our focus has always been on delivering best-in-class bicycle parts, such as cranksets, cassette sprockets, and derailleurs, among others. Over the past three decades, we have built long-standing partnerships with major bike producers, supplying global OEM bicycle brands." - https://wheeltop.us/products/wheeltop-eds-gex?utm_source=Youtube&utm_medium=KOL&utm_campaign=+Gravel+Cyclist

More about Wheeltop EDS Gex:
"Bluetooth and ANT (Adaptive Network Topology) ensure a stable wireless connection between the controller and derailleurs, offering a responsive, smooth, and precise gear shift. Wireless design makes installation easier and offers an untethered ride."

"The lP67 rating enables confident cycling in rainy weather, crossing streams, and cleaning the device, with water immersion resistance of up to 1m for 30 minutes, ensuring worry-free rides."

EDS GeX has two cage lengths: 75mm (11-46T) and 93mm (11-51T):
"Two Cage Lengths ensure a perfect fit for every rider, enhancing comfort and stability. Choose the appropriate length based on your bike’s dimensions to minimize fatigue and improve control, resulting in a more efficient and enjoyable ride."
