Your needs aren't less demanding, they're different. The SRAM Rival 1 rear derailleur is engineered for smooth, reliable shifting action, delivering 100% of what you demand. By eliminating unwanted chain movement, X-HORIZON™ shifts faster, reducing shift effort and chain slap.
The SRAM Rival 1 rear derailleur is engineered for smooth, reliable shifting action - from the larger upper pulley offset to the 12-tooth X-SYNC pulley wheels. By eliminating unwanted chain movement, X-HORIZON shifts faster, puts an end to ghost shifting and reduces shift force and chain slap. And with Cage Lock technology, wheel removal and installation are easier than ever.
A dedicated SRAM 1x™ rear derailleur
Exact Actuation™ for fast and accurate shifts using SRAM's 1:1® actuation ratio (shifter cable travel : derailleur movement)
X-Sync™ pulley features a 12-tooth design that helps control the chain's lateral movement
Roller Bearing Clutch™ controls chain tension for consistent shifting
X-Horizon™ straight parallelogram design limits all movement to the horizontal axis, which makes ghost shifting impossible while also reducing shift force
Cage Lock™ technology makes for fast wheel changes or chain installation
