The SRAM Rival1 Rear Derailleur brings SRAM 1x technology to road, cross, gravel and adventure bikes that are equipped with drop bars. Like the SRAM mountain rear derailleur, Rival 1 rear derailleurs have a 1x specific X-Horizon design that is capable of working with a wider range cassette that the 2x11 Rival derailleur. Rival1 derailleurs include SRAM's latest Type 3.0 roller clutch that reduces chain slap and improves chain retention over a non-clutch type rear derailleur.
Sram Rival1 rear derailleurs use SRAM Exact Actuation cable pull, which is the same cable pull ratio as Apex 22, Rival 22, Force 22, and Red 22 rear shifters. The Rival 1 rear derailleur is not compatible with SRAM X1 series mountain shifters.

This is a gravel bike oriented derailleur, but I used it to convert an old 2x10 mountain bike to 1x with excellent results. Note this conversion also involved replacing the crankset with a 1x specific crankset; I wouldn't recommend cutting corners there. The chain stays quiet and in place on rough MTB descents, so this derailleur should do well in any kind of gravel riding situation. The shifting is generally very good -- you push the button and the chain shifts ... 99% of the time. If the drivetrain is filthy and you're hammering the pedals a shift may occasionally be slow, but that's rare enough not to be an annoyance.
The compatibility situation is that this uses "Exact Actuation", the system used on SRAM's road shifters and *also* on their older 10 speed mountain shifters. SRAM's newer 11 and 12 speed *mountain* shifters use "X-Actuation", which is different and incompatible. If you've converting from an old SRAM 2x10 system re-using your old "Exact Actuation" shifter saves you a few bucks.
