The SRAM Schaltwerk Rival eTap AXS XPLR rear derailleur is purpose-built for modern drop-bar riding, bringing the simplicity of wireless shifting to gravel, all-road, and adventure bikes. Designed around SRAM’s proven eTap AXS platform, it delivers crisp, consistent gear changes without the need for shift cables or housing, reducing maintenance and keeping your cockpit clean. Its XPLR designation means it is optimized for wide-range 1x drivetrains, giving you the low gears you need for steep climbs while still offering smooth transitions on fast, rolling terrain.
Engineered to handle rough surfaces and demanding conditions, the Rival eTap AXS XPLR derailleur features a robust clutch mechanism to keep the chain stable over washboard roads, roots, and loose gravel. The wireless design makes installation straightforward and allows easy pairing with SRAM AXS shifters and the AXS app for customization and firmware updates. Whether you are building a dedicated gravel rig or upgrading an existing bike, this derailleur offers reliable performance, quiet operation, and the freedom of cable-free shifting, so you can focus on the ride instead of your equipment.
