Reviews over the

SRAM Rival XPLR eTap AXS

Great rear derailleur with optimum range for gravel use. Fast and precise gear changes, very easy to fit and very easy to adjust. Unfortunately, the predecessor only lasted about 2 years, which shouldn't really be the case given the price. The motor became weaker and was no longer able to drive the large sprockets. Unfortunately, probably not an isolated case. Thanks to Mantel for the fast delivery.

Derailleur replaced on my gravel bike because the previous one was no longer getting the chain on the larger sprockets. It seems to me that this is a disadvantage of electronic shifting anyway. If you ride too much in dirt or rain, the derailleur simply gives up after so many thousands of km. This was already the 2nd time I had it happen. Nevertheless, I am still a fan. Replacing the gear is super smooth, it hardly takes any effort. Like replacing the TV remote. And the Rival Etap XPLR group shifts really super smoothly!
