Notable Tech, Materials & Construction

Full Mount Technology

The Rival XPLR AXS rear derailleur mounts directly to compatible UDH-equipped frames. This design removes the traditional derailleur hanger, increasing structural strength while improving alignment accuracy and shift consistency.

AXS Wireless Technology

SRAM's wireless shifting system eliminates mechanical cables, creating a cleaner bike setup and reducing maintenance requirements. Riders can customise controls, monitor battery levels and manage firmware through the AXS ecosystem.

X-Range Gear Optimisation

The 13-speed cassette is engineered to provide closely spaced ratios through frequently used gears while retaining low climbing gears for steep ascents and loaded bikepacking setups.

X-SYNC Chain Management

SRAM's narrow-wide chainring design maximises chain retention on rough terrain while reducing chain noise and improving drivetrain security.

Advanced Braking Architecture

Updated hood ergonomics and hydraulic braking technology deliver stronger braking performance, better modulation and reduced hand fatigue, particularly beneficial during long gravel descents.

Construction Materials

• High-strength forged aluminium crankset
• Precision-machined alloy derailleur components
• Steel cassette construction for durability
