New SRAM Rival AXS and Rival XPLR AXS: premium performance for everyone

SRAM has renewed its Rival AXS and Rival XPLR AXS ranges with a clear mission: to offer high-end performance, AXS wireless technology, and a lighter and more precise design, all at a more accessible price. Whether for road cyclists or those who prefer gravel adventures, these drivetrains represent a versatile, reliable, and modern option.

SRAM Rival AXS: a new control experience

Powerful and ergonomic braking: the new control experience

The new Rival AXS HRD levers are the central axis in the renewal of this group and have been completely redesigned to offer a premium user experience.

• Require 80% less effort when braking from the top of the handlebar.
• Incorporate a higher brake lever and improved ergonomics to fit more hand sizes.
• Feature Reach Adjust, although they lack "Bonus Buttons," a function reserved for the Force and Red ranges.

Precision in every shift: Rival AXS 2x transmission

The double chainring transmission also includes significant improvements.

• The front derailleur uses Yaw technology with auto-trim to prevent noise and vibrations.
• Compatibility with 46/33T and 48/35T combinations.
• The rear derailleur is valid for both 1x and 2x and supports 10-28T to 10-36T cassettes.
• Chain management technology for quiet and safe operation.

The XG-1250 cassettes are available in 12v with XDR bodies and a FULL PIN design that reduces weight and improves durability.

Power meter for everyone: Rival AXS Power

This Rival generation offers two power meter options:

• Version integrated in the DUB axle (spindle-based), which measures the power of the left leg.
• Also available in a crankset with integrated chainrings, in 46/33T and 48/35T combinations.

Both offer great precision, replaceable AAA battery, autonomy of over 400 hours, and water resistance (IPX7).

Aluminum cranks and durable chains

The Rival crankset is made of forged aluminum, with an optimized design to improve the weight/stiffness ratio. They are available in lengths from 160 to 175 mm, and with two chain lines: standard and Wide. The cranks use the 8-bolt interface and can be upgraded with a power meter.

The Rival chains with Flattop technology are compatible with 12 and 13 speeds, offering quieter operation and extended life thanks to their hard chrome treatment.
