This year Rival will be all new, from the finish of some of the component pieces, to materials, to some actual new technology.
Rival goes from aluminum to a carbon blade, the shape is more similar to SRAM’s Red offering. The cable routing goes from one cable routing option, this year, there is two (both external and internal routing). The reach adjust features of Red has now trickled down to Rival as well.
Zero loss has also made it down to Rival. Which offers a much more shorter throw, that should result in a faster more positive engagement.
