SRAM Rival eTap AXS (RD-RIV-D1)

The SRAM Rival eTap AXS (RD-RIV-D1) is the cornerstone of SRAM’s effort to make wireless 12-speed shifting accessible to every rider. This derailleur delivers the same fundamental wireless logic and precision found in the RED and Force tiers but utilizes more economical materials and a robust mechanical spring clutch. This Spring Clutch system is specifically designed to keep the chain under tension, ensuring a quiet ride and excellent chain retention on both smooth pavement and chattered gravel roads. With a versatile mid-cage design that handles a wide range of gearing, the RD-RIV-D1 is the ultimate choice for riders building a modern "do-it-all" bike who prioritize durability and electronic accuracy over absolute weight savings.
