Great but expensive levers
I bought these to use on a 12 speed AXS build and as with everything AXS they are a bit expensive, but they work as expected. I appreciate the interoperability of the AXS stuff, I wanted to try the new ergonomics and getting carbon levers at the Rival level is nice. They would be five stars except for the steep price and I have found I actually like the D2 ergonomics the best of all the AXS road stuff. Originally reviewed on Competitivecyclist.com
