SRAM Rival eTap AXS (FD-RIV-D1)

The SRAM Rival eTap AXS (FD-RIV-D1) is the front derailleur that brought professional-tier wireless shifting to the masses. Engineered with the same fundamental technology as SRAM's flagship RED and Force groupsets, this 12-speed front derailleur delivers crisp, clean, and reliable shifts with every click. It features SRAM's signature Yaw technology, which allows the cage to rotate in a specific arc to maintain a perfect line with the chain; this eliminates the need for manual shifter trim and ensures your drivetrain stays silent across the entire cassette. Whether you’re a road enthusiast or a gravel explorer, the Rival AXS front derailleur provides a seamless, cable-free experience that is incredibly easy to install and even easier to maintain.
