Ride Year Round - Review: Wheeltop EDS GeX Wireless Drivetrain

Description

One of the latest innovations in the biking world is the wireless electronic drivetrain. With a super consistent shifting and an extra clean look, these wireless set ups are becoming increasingly popular across every riding discipline. Unfortunately, a lot of them fall out of reach of many rider's budgets. Luckily, Wheeltop has come to the rescue with more wallet friendly wireless electronic drivetrain line ups for road, mountain, and most recently gravel biking.

The EDS GeX is the 1x specific gravel series which features multiple cage lengths, a "shark-fin" design, multiple cage lengths, and a tunable damping system all for under $600. It also works with drivetrains from 3 to 14 speed so you can use it with whatever cassette you've already got on your bike. In this video, I talk about my experience installing and riding the EDS GeX drivetrain on one of my bikes.
