Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM Rival1 Type 3.0 brings SRAM's proven road derailleur tech to 1x drivetrains. Built around SRAM's Exact Actuation 1:1 cable ratio and the X-Horizon straight parallelogram, it delivers fast, predictable shifts while limiting vertical movement that causes ghost shifts. The Type 3.0 adds a 12-tooth X-Sync pulley to better control lateral chain movement and a Roller Bearing Clutch to maintain chain tension on rough roads and fast descents. Cage Lock makes wheel removal and chain installation quick and frustration-free.

Key Features & Real‑World Benefits

Exact Actuation (1:1) gives crisp, consistent indexing with SRAM road shifters across 10- and 11-speed systems — fewer adjustments, reliable shifts under load. The X-Horizon design keeps all motion horizontal to remove ghost shifting and reduce shift force for cleaner lever feel. The X-Sync 12T pulley and roller-bearing clutch work together to increase chain retention and reduce chain slap on mixed surfaces. The result is a derailleur that stays quiet and secure through rough road sections and aggressive sprint finishes, while Cage Lock speeds wheel changes and chain installs on race day or at the roadside.

Fit, Compatibility & Construction

Rival1 Type 3.0 is designed for single chainring setups (no front derailleur) and supports cassettes up to a 36T largest cog. It is compatible with SRAM road 10- and 11-speed Exact Actuation shifters. Available in medium and long cage lengths to suit a wide range of cassette sizes and chainwrap requirements. Constructed with durable, serviceable materials and finished in black, the derailleur uses a precision parallelogram and clutch mechanism (roller bearings) to maintain tension and smooth operation. Mounting is standard direct-mount/bolt style and the derailleur ships in compact packaging (6.7" x 6.5" x 3.2", 0.95 lb).

Who This Derailleur Is For

If you ride modern road or gravel bikes with a 1x drivetrain and want reliable, lightweight performance without electronic shifting, the Rival1 Type 3.0 is a smart upgrade. It's ideal for racers, mixed-surface commuters and gravel riders who need strong chain retention and precise shifting up to 36T cogs. Choose the medium cage for typical road 1x setups or the long cage when running very wide-range cassettes or when extra chain capacity is needed. It's a practical, performance-focused choice for riders who value simplicity and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Rival1 Type 3.0 compatible with 11-speed SRAM road shifters?

Yes. The Rival1 Type 3.0 uses SRAM's Exact Actuation 1:1 ratio and is compatible with SRAM road 11-speed shifters. It will also work with many SRAM 10-speed road shifters that use the same actuation standard.

Can I use this derailleur with a 2x drivetrain?

No. The Rival1 is designed specifically for single chainring (1x) setups and does not provide the chainwrap or trim functionality required for 2x systems. Choose a dedicated 2x rear derailleur for double chainring setups.

Which cage length should I choose — medium or long?

Select medium cage for common 1x road and gravel setups with moderate cassette ranges. Choose long cage if you plan to run very wide-range cassettes (close to the 36T maximum) or need extra chain capacity for frame clearance.

How do I maintain the Roller Bearing Clutch and pulleys?

Routine maintenance involves keeping the derailleur clean and lightly lubricating pivot areas and the pulley bearings as needed. The roller-bearing clutch is sealed but benefits from periodic inspection; remove grit and re-lube pivot points after wet or muddy rides to preserve smooth operation.

Will this derailleur work with SRAM AXS electronic shifters?

No. Rival1 Type 3.0 is a mechanical derailleur and is not compatible with SRAM AXS electronic shifting. AXS requires purpose-built electronic derailleurs and batteries.

What is the largest cog supported and can it handle a 36T?

The Rival1 Type 3.0 supports a maximum cog size of 36T, making it suitable for wide-range 1x cassettes commonly used in gravel and mixed-terrain road riding.

Buying Guide

When choosing a rear derailleur for a 1x road or gravel build, match the derailleur to your shifter actuation (SRAM Exact Actuation) and pick a cage length that provides enough chain capacity for your cassette. Rival1 Type 3.0 supports up to a 36T largest cog — choose medium for typical road 1x setups and long for very wide-range cassettes. Also verify chain width and chainring thickness compatibility for 11-speed systems. Consider pairing the derailleur with a durable 11-speed chain and a cassette designed for gravel/road use to get the quietest, most reliable performance.
