Rival 22 Front Derailleur Package

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I ran this package on a custom build where the frame had a bare seat tube and no dedicated front derailleur mount. The adapter seated solidly on a 34.9mm tube and gave the Rival derailleur a stable, rattle-free platform. Yaw technology keeps the cage tracking with the chain angle, so cross-chaining penalties are reduced, and shifts stay consistent whether I am pushing hard out of a climb or rolling easy on a flat."

For builds centered on SRAM's 11-speed road ecosystem, front derailleur placement and performance are not afterthoughts. The Rival 22 Front Derailleur Package addresses both with a pairing that extends compatibility to frames that would otherwise sit outside the modern drivetrain conversation. The Braze-On Adapter accepts seat tubes in 31.8mm or 34.9mm diameters, giving the Rival 22 Front Derailleur a secure, stable mount where no dedicated tab exists.

The Rival 22 Front Derailleur itself runs SRAM's Yaw system, a cage design that rotates to follow chain angle rather than pivoting through a static path. This means the cage stays aligned with the chain across the full range of rear cogs, reducing friction and improving shift quality at the front, whether the rear is sitting on the small or large end of the cassette. Precision alignment markings on the cage take the guesswork out of setup, and the integrated chain catch adds a layer of frame protection during unexpected drops.

Rated for 2x11-speed YAW chainring configurations and compatible across SRAM's 11-speed road drivetrain lineup, this package suits gravel builds, cyclocross rigs, and road frames running Rival-level components where the budget calls for performance without the premium price of Force or RED. The bottom-pull cable routing keeps the system tidy and integrates cleanly with standard road frame cable runs.
