SRAM Rival - affordable road cycling groupset full of technologies
17.06.2025
SRAM has been keeping secrets for a long time. But we finally got it. The affordable RIVAL road kit, featuring the technology of last year's RED, is now available. What all is included, and what features does it have?
Rival AXS HRD Shift-Brake System
Have it all: effortless one-finger braking and fully wireless shifting with peerless ergonomics. We redesigned our controls with a higher brake lever pivot, so stopping from the hoods uses 80% less effort than before. But stopping is only one part of the equation, so we increased the range of our Reach Adjust while also eliminating the possibility of finger pinch under hard braking. Lighter weight, more powerful braking, and better fit for a wider range of hand sizes: all that’s left for you is pedaling.
Features
- One-finger braking from the hoods or the drops
- AXS enables easy setup, personalization, and reliability
- Optimized hood shape fits the widest range of hand sizes
- Carbon brake lever for lightweight
- Textured shift paddles and hoods for control and comfort
- Reach Adjust to personalize fit for more hand sizes
Rival AXS Front Derailleur
Experience elevated front shifting. The Rival AXS front derailleur utilizes SRAM Yaw cage movement and auto trim for silent, rattle-free operation. It features a narrower cage shape that integrates seamlessly with our X-Range chainring design for fast, clean shifts. Our setup tool means you’ll get the ideal position without any fuss, too.
Features
- AXS enables easy wireless setup, monitoring, personalization, and reliability
