SRAM Rival 22

Is anyone using this groupset? I was looking to get the new 11 speed 105 but my lbs is recommending the new Rival 22. There's a lot of trickle down from Red with a bit more weight so I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on it. Just looking for feedback!

Force 22 is cheaper from fudges cycles and it's the same but lighter and works great for me.

I'm not sure about the 11 group sets but with the 10 speed ones force and red share technology as do rival and apex.
So yes rival shares influence from red but the components actually share little.

I have red, force and rival on my bikes and definitely recommend sram.

Well I think SRAM Apex is the SRAM equivalent of Shimano 105. Rival is the next up from Apex so Rival would probably be the better bet from a value point of view.
