SRAM Rival eTap AXS Wide Road Disc HRD Flat Mount road bike groupset 2x12 | 43-30 teeth
The slogan "This shifts everything" for the Rival eTap AXS puts it in a nutshell: the new entry-level groupset among the electronic road groupsets covers a very wide range of applications. From thoroughbred road bikes to 27.5" gravel bikes with 2.1" wide tires, the Rival AXS is ideally suited. With the proven eTap wireless shifting system, innovative X-Range gear ratio variants and the AXS platform, it offers numerous innovative features for an even better riding experience, despite its simple design.
Crankset
The Rival DUB 2x crank offers a higher gear range and smaller gear steps at the same time. What at first sounds absurd is made possible by the new X-range gear ratio variants in combination with the Rival 12-speed cassettes. Thanks to the 10-speed cassette sprocket, smaller chainrings are sufficient to achieve the same maximum gear range as with an 11-speed sprocket. The smaller size combined with the unique one-piece design means that the chainrings are both lighter and stiffer. The small difference of only 13 teeth between the chainrings ensures precise and reliable shifting behavior and leads to fewer compensation shifting operations on the rear derailleur.The Rival is visually impressive with its polished, black aluminium crankarms, which are available in lengths from 160 to 175 millimetres. The crankshaft was developed for the new DUB Road bottom bracket standard to ensure a wide range of applications for the crank. The crankshaft is compatible with all standard bottom bracket housings via the corresponding DUB bottom bracket. With the SRAM Rival Quarq AXS Powermeter Kit available in our store, the crank can be upgraded to a power measurement system if required.
The Wide version has been specially developed for gravel bikes. Its widened DUB crankshaft and a 2.5 millimeter increased chainline offer sufficient tire clearance even for 2.1 inch wide tires. The Wide crank with the corresponding DUB bottom bracket is even suitable for use on MTBs. The gear ratio of 43-30 teeth has also been specially adapted for off-road use.
Shift brake lever including hydraulic disc brake
With the Rival eTap AXS HRD shift-brake system, you can brake comfortably and in a controlled manner from any position and transmit your shift commands wirelessly. In contrast to the Red AXS and Force AXS shifters, the hoods of the Rival have become significantly flatter and narrower. Not only do they look great, they are also compatible with all hand sizes. The textured shift paddles and rubber grips are also new for even more control and comfort. The grip width adjustment on the brake lever ensures the best possible ergonomics, while the integration of the Rival into the AXS platform offers you the option of adapting the shifters to your personal preferences, evaluating your shifting behaviour or updating the firmware via the associated smartphone app. In addition to the freely selectable assignment of the shift buttons, the derailleur can also be operated in semi-automatic mode, in which the rear derailleur and front derailleur synchronize automatically and you only have to choose between a lighter and heavier gear.However, there are no ports for additional shifters (blips), as found on the Red/Force AXS units, on the Rival AXS shifters. The two-piece brake caliper, based on the award-winning HydroHC platform, is beyond reproach in terms of braking performance and heat management.
Paceline brake discs | Center Lock
The new Paceline brake rotors take up the elegant design of the eTap AXS Road groupsets. They have a redesigned braking surface with equally redesigned ventilation holes for even smoother and lower-vibration braking performance. The rounded edges on the top of the rotor minimize the risk of injury and comply with the guidelines of the UCI cycling world federation. A further advantage is that they make it easier to install the wheel, as the rounded top prevents jamming in the brake calliper.
Rear derailleur
The Rival eTap AXS rear derailleur ensures fast and reliable shifting in all conditions. Rear derailleur pulleys with X-Sync Narrow-Wide tooth profile keep the chain in place, even in single-speed use. The medium-length cage is compatible with cassettes from 10-28 teeth to 10-36 teeth and covers an extremely wide range of applications. In contrast to the high-end Red AXS and Force AXS rear derailleurs, the Rival AXS uses a simple spring clutch instead of the Orbit fluid damper
Front derailleur
The SRAM Rival eTap front derailleur has been developed for the 2x X-Range chainring gradations of the eTap AXS groupset. Equipped with the proven SRAM Yaw technology, it is no longer necessary to trim the front derailleur. The shifting force is automatically regulated by the eTap AXS shifter over the entire shifting range. With the integration of AXS technology, the shifting behaviour of the front derailleur can be personalized via the associated app. In combination with the Rival/Force Wide crank, the Wide front derailleur offers extra tire clearance for tires up to 2.1 inches wide
Cassette
Proven in the mountain bike sector for years, the 10-speed sprocket is now also finding its way onto road bikes. This is made possible by the SRAM XDR freewheel standard. The advantages are obvious: the cassette has become even lighter with the same bandwidth. In addition, weight can be saved on the crank, as smaller chainrings are required for the same maximum gear range as with an 11-speed sprocket. SRAM has upgraded the Rival cassette to 12-speed so that the gear steps remain small without having to sacrifice bandwidth. The additional 12th sprocket significantly extends the range of use of the cassette in combination with the eTap AXS 1-speed groupset. A nickel-chrome coating ensures fast and quiet shifting. The individual sprockets are connected to each other via high-strength, stainless steel pins. The open design of the full-pin construction ensures that the cassette cleans itself very well in adverse external conditions
Chain
Introduced with the SRAM RED and Force eTap AXS groupsets, the Rival chain was also designed according to the elegant and innovative flattop design. The shape of the plates allows the chain to be made narrower and lighter. The resulting greater distance between the outer plates and the sprockets leads to smoother chain running and more precise shifting. As a positive side effect, the service life of the chain is also increased. Nickel-coated outer and inner plates and hard chrome treatment of the rivet pins also ensure a longer service life.
Charger/batteries
The integrated batteries on the rear derailleur and front derailleur have a range of over 1000 kilometers. The charge status can be read at any time via LED lights. The batteries for the rear derailleur and front derailleur are identical and can therefore be replaced on the move. The batteries are recharged within an hour using the charger supplied.
