Effortless Expanded
When the gravel gets tough, Rival XPLR AXS gets tougher. This workhorse groupset features the unmatched resilience and precision of a Full Mount rear derailleur with gravel-specific 13-speed gearing. This generation of Rival also gained better, more powerful brakes while shedding significant grams. It’s effortless performance for everyone.
Full Mount Resilience
Simpler and stronger, with no need for a derailleur hanger. Attaching to frames with the UDH interface, the Full Mount Rival XPLR AXS rear derailleur centers on the rear axle for the ultimate impact resistance.
Full Mount Precision
Fast, precise shifting with easier setup. The Full Mount Rival XPLR AXS derailleur removes hanger variances to provide perfect shifting with no adjustment screws. Set it and forget it.
The Gravel Gearing Sweet Spot, Perfected
All the range you need to climb, with tight gear jumps to push the pace. The 13-speed 10-46T Rival XPLR cassette keeps you in the right gear with a comfortable cadence, no matter the course.
Effortless Braking
One-finger braking from anywhere you please, on any riding surface. Rival brakes require 80% less effort when braking from the hoods, and 33% less effort from the drops. Brake with more comfort, control, and power than ever before.
Superior Chain Management
The MTB-inspired spring clutch on the Rival XPLR AXS derailleur will keep your chain running securely and smoothly no matter what you put it through.
More Resilience and Precision, Less Weight
More speeds and all the extra capability, and at 2,961 grams with a power meter, Rival XPLR AXS is still more than 20 grams lighter than the previous generation.
Rebuild. Replace. Repeat.
The Rival XPLR AXS rear derailleur’s incredible robustness will keep you rolling after most impacts, but it features several key replaceable parts for when you hit the deck too hard.
Prepare. Hang. Tighten.
