Reliable 1x drivetrain control from the Rival XPLR Crankset with X-SYNC technology
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This crankset hits the sweet spot for gravel and all-road builds. The wide chainline fits newer rear-end standards, and I haven’t dropped a chain yet thanks to the X-SYNC tooth design. It’s easy to install, budget-friendly, and ready for whatever terrain you throw at it."
The SRAM Rival XPLR Crankset brings trail-tested drivetrain stability to the expanding world of gravel and all-road bikes. Built with durable aluminum crank arms and a single 42T X-SYNC chainring, this crankset maximizes efficiency and chain retention across rough fire roads, doubletrack descents, and rolling pavement alike. It’s built with SRAM’s wide DUB spindle to improve compatibility with modern frame standards, allowing riders to match drivetrain performance with a broad array of frames and rear end spacing.
The direct mount chainring design simplifies maintenance and lets you swap gearing to suit the ride ahead—whether that's grinding up alpine passes or racing midwestern singletrack. Engineered to work with both 12- and 13-speed drivetrains, the Rival XPLR supports SRAM’s Flattop and T-Type chains for cross-category reliability.
If you're building a budget-friendly adventure bike or upgrading an all-road rig with clean, modern drivetrain standards, the Rival XPLR Crankset is a dependable, lightweight, and thoughtfully engineered solution.
