I just bought a new bike with grx 812 rear derailleur, and rs7000 shifters. I like the bike, but i find the rs7000 shifters very unrefined and kind of feels like lot of resistance and the clicking is not smooth at all, compared to my acera shifters on my old bike.

Should i return the bike ?

Probably need to take it back and let them look at it. Or did you order the bike online? If so, call them up and see what they wish to do to resolve the issue.

If you know someone that has more bike experience you might ask them what they think about the way the shifting feels. Or just ride up to a shop with it and ask them what they think about it. Like here, opinions are free. I'd put more value on the ones from people that can see and touch it.

I doubt that in general all of that lines shifters are crappy. Otherwise there'd be more people complaining. So something must be up with yours or you just desire ultimate perfection. <grin>

I think you mean the rs700 shifters. I've not experience any issues with my shifting, it has been very smooth. As mentioned by Iride01, you might need to let the shop check them out to make sure there is not a bad housing or cable. Not likely, but you never know.

I have a 5 yr old low hours bike with RS700 shifters

both front and rear shifters are smooth and easy to operate - but have found the rear shifter to be very sensitive to cable adjustment / tension - and the rear shifter might be a tad too smooth or easy (?) ; shifting can be a little inconsistent at times when shifting into a lower gear - gotta be a little deliberate to ensure you are shifting only to the next sprocket (and not multiple sprockets - a designed feature)

I’ve observed these traits with different set ups - different rear derailleurs, cassettes, chains

bike was originally equipped with 5800 / 105 components and FSA chain - current configuration includes 6800 / Ultegra RD and Dura Ace R9100 cassette and HG901 chain

the main thing I notice is that when you press the levers especially the back one , it requires a lot of pressure from the hand and the click is not so subtle like you feel it in the fingers , it’s the rs700 shifter for rear derailleur which is GRX 812
Otherwise shifting is great

If it requires notable force to shift, then get it solved quickly. You'll only wear out the shifter or damage it if you continue using it.

Does the bike have bare shifter cable running along the downtube? Pull on it and try and figure out which side of where you grab it the binding is coming from. When you have it pulled then you can shift and feel what's going on with the shift lever better. Though it can be like rubbing your belly and patting your head trying to coordinate that with turning the cranks and moving the shift lever while holding the cable and keeping the rear tire off the ground if you don't have a stand.

Still, I encourage you to take it back to the shop. Let them figure it out while it's still a new bike.
