Does anyone have experience or know of a RD that's compatible with a 2x Red 10-speed road group?

I'm almost sure the SRAM CX-1, Rival 1, Force 1 rear mechs work with both 10 and 11 speed SRAM mechanical groups... Not sure how front shifting would be though, the clutch pulls quite hard on the chain at all time.

None of the "1" derailleurs will work with a 2X setup.
Late-era 10 speed 2x X01 'Exact Actuation' clutch derailleurs will work, however. The GX 2 x 10 derailleur will work as well: https://www.sram.com/en/sram/models/rd-gx-a1
The important factors are 1) Exact Actuation and 2) specifically 2x.
• A hi-zoot bike, pretty sweet
• An old bike, more fun than the new one actually
• Unicycle, no brand name visible

Exact actuation will work with 10 or 11x.

X-Horizon will ONLY work with 1x
