I had 10 speed Rival on my road bike for about a year, and just upgraded to Rival 11 last month. So, the old stuff was still pretty fresh - it's on my cross bike now, in fact. The 11 speed version is substantially better, IMO. The shift feel is more precise, the hood texture is better, the lever shape and length is better, the front shifting is better. Approve. The only thing I don't like is the way the shift cables come out under the hoods. Not comfortable.
