>>1255173I'll sperg a little.
10 speed 11-25 are universally sequenced like this:
11-12-13-14-15-17-19-21-23-25
so a 12 speed version would be
11-12-13-14-15-17-19-21-23-25-27-30
Essentially, 12 speed in this format gives one two extra gears or 25% extra range. If you don't need it, then don't get it. But.
11-12-13-(14-15-17-19-21)-23-25
In brackets I have added cogs that are on the Most Common Range - they correspond to the range where most cyclists spend most of the time. So hypothetical 12 speed 11-25...
11-12-13-(14-15-16-17-18-19-21)-23-25
...extends it from five to seven gears. Granted, it forces more common shifting to actually use it and some people can't be bothered, but it is a clear, tangible benefit.
Pic kinda related. 11-18 I rode a decade ago with a triple at the front. On an MTB. It kind of annoys me that the market goes in the direction of "moar range" when adding cogs.

>>1255246I am not a fan of 1x, but if you want to have it on the road - this is how you do it.
