Rival 1 HRD Shift Lever & Caliper Set - Bike Build

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I spec this set on gravel builds when a rider wants hydraulic braking without the carbon price tag. The two-piston calipers hold up through wet, technical descents, and the reach adjust keeps the ergonomics dialed for smaller hands."

This set brings hydraulic disc performance to road, gravel, and cyclocross builds without carrying the cost of higher-tier carbon componentry. The forged aluminum levers use stainless steel hardware and a reach adjust mechanism, giving riders precise control over hood position and brake feel. A low initiation force keeps lever actuation light, which matters most late in a ride when hand fatigue sets in.

The two-piston calipers are engineered specifically for the demands of road, cyclocross, and gravel racing, paired with stainless steel-backed organic pads for consistent stopping power. Both calipers use a flat mount design and are built to run with separately sold 140mm or 160mm Centerline rotors, giving riders flexibility to match rotor size to terrain and riding style.

Compatibility extends across the Rival, Force, and Red ecosystem, with the rear shifter offering 11-speed Exact Actuation support for a full 1x setup. This makes the set a strong fit for flat-mount-equipped framesets running disc brakes, whether building a dedicated gravel rig or upgrading an existing drop bar bike to hydraulic stopping power.
