An ideal choice for anyone replacing or upgrading the front derailleur on a SRAM Road 11-speed Yaw-compatible 2x bike.
The SRAM Rival 22 Yaw front derailleur is built for 2x11 SRAM Road drivetrains and compatible chainring combinations from 46/34T through 55/42T. Its Yaw cage rotates in line with the chain, maintaining a consistent angle as you move across the cassette. The result is more direct front shifting with no need for shifter trim.
This braze-on derailleur includes an integrated chain spotter that installs and adjusts independently of the derailleur, helping protect against chain drops and potential frame contact. Precision alignment markings on the cage assist with setup, although Yaw adjustment rewards taking a little extra care. Once correctly aligned, the Rival 22 front derailleur delivers quick, precise shifts and helps minimise chain rub across the drivetrain.
Choose it for a practical replacement or upgrade on a compatible SRAM 11-speed road bike, particularly when reliable shifting and value matter more than chasing the lightest component. It uses SRAM’s 11 Speed Powerchain specification and is finished in black.
