Confidence and control on mixed terrain with the Rival XPLR Crankset for 1x gravel setups
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This crankset is a sleeper hit for gravel bikes. I threw the Rival XPLR on my adventure rig and have been blown away by the value. It’s lightweight, stiff, and the X-SYNC ring gives me reliable chain retention even on chunky descents."
We count on the SRAM Rival XPLR Crankset when the ride takes us beyond pavement and into the unknown. Purpose-built for gravel and mixed-terrain riding, this crankset pairs a wide chainline with direct-mount simplicity, ensuring compatibility with modern rear ends and stability across shifting surfaces. SRAM's proven X-SYNC chainring technology gives us confident chain control no matter how rough the road gets.
Crafted from aluminum to trim weight without compromising durability, the Rival XPLR offers crank arm lengths from 160mm to 175mm and a 42T chainring that blends climbing power with speed on flatter sections. Thanks to its wide DUB spindle, it also fits a variety of road and mountain frames, giving us more flexibility when building our dream adventure rig.
