I used the Sensah SRX 1x11 last year, shifting is good but the break levers are not up to GRX standard.
Combined with the Zerace RX4 1x crankset 44 tooth with an 11-46 cassette which results in a nice gear range.
But stay away from the Zerace cable activated disc break calipers, no bueno...

Here the build thread of last years gravel bike:

For my new project I went with Shimano 105 brifters and GRX Derailleur upgraded with Garbaruk cage to reach the same gearing range as with the Sensah SRX. I used the same Zerace RX4 crankset. The breaks are Juintech F1 cable activated hydraulic calipers.
One advantage of the RX4 crankset, it can be combined with a Sigeyi power meter if desired.
The new build post will follow under "Metal Frames" since I went with Titanium for the new bike.  ;)
