SRAM Rival 22 Front Derailleur

The SRAM Rival 22 braze-on front derailleur is designed for riders using a 2x11 road groupset who need to replace a worn part or upgrade their bike. It fits the frame's braze-on mount, so a frame with this fitting is required. According to the supplier, the Rival 22 drivetrain is suitable for road, cyclocross and triathlon, on both tarmac and unpaved surfaces.

Before ordering, check that your frame has a braze-on mount and that your crankset has two chainrings, as the derailleur is compatible with the 2x11 YAW configuration. Check compatibility with the frame and crankset. The name identifies the version with Chain Spotter, a guide that helps keep the chain on the chainring.

Founded in Chicago in 1987 by Stan Day and a group of cycling enthusiasts, SRAM is still based in the US city today. It makes drivetrains and brakes for road, gravel and mountain bikes. Its story began with a single product: Grip Shift, the shifter that lets riders change gear by twisting the grip.
