Good bike, pay attention to the settings

To guide some, I am 1.78 m and 69 kg, and I took the bike in size M and it fits me perfectly The bike has a great quality-price ratio, it is very comfortable and very easy to restart I just put a big point of vigilance on the settings of the transmission. They sell you the bike as being ready to ride when leaving the store. But this is false during my first outing. First passage from the big chainring to the small chainring chain jump = scratched frame… I went back to the Decathlon store where I bought it. I felt that the two technicians were at the limit of their skills on the Sram group. They looked like that and let me go. I had to make the settings myself with YouTube tutorials Check the settings carefully, even if it comes out of the store In terms of color, it must be specified that it is raw carbon. So do not expect a uniform black. Personally I find it very beautiful. Little tip, there is also a remote support for the meter and a torque wrench included

Good bike but fragile

Great bike Just frustrated that a crack on the frame appeared 4 months after purchase No availability on the blue frame (the color that made me fall for this bike) too bad Otherwise Decathlon Montluçon customer service is fast and good advice

Good bike

After 1000 km of use, I recommend this bike to you. The frame is super efficient, very responsive and at the same time comfortable. The disc brakes are super efficient and the wheels are super efficient. The electric group works great but the only downside is the large 48-tooth chainring. For my large build, it's just that in racing, a 52-tooth would be more suitable for me.

Incredible comfort

Bike with incredible comfort. Perfect position, 28 tire at 4.5 bar in tubeless, even on damaged surface or limestone path it is really comfortable. With electric gears, power sensor and very versatile carbon wheels, unbeatable value for money. And super friendly after-sales service when I needed it.

This Van Rysel is…

This Van Rysel is exceptional, a real success!!! First of all, a big thank you to the Decathlon St Egreve Cycle team and in particular to Ludovic for his advice, his listening skills and his professionalism. He took delivery, completely assembled the bike, answered all my many questions, and installed the SRAM app on my phone, setting everything up. Honestly the best!!! All I had to do was install the pedals and adjust the saddle height. The bike in its bright indigo blue color looks great. As soon as I got on it I felt comfortable. As I was between 2 sizes I chose the size below and my position is perfect. No pain in the neck or lower back after 3 hours outings. the adjustment of the recoil and the seat position is easily done. The SRAM electric groupset is really efficient, the gear changes are very smooth and well-staged. The same goes for the trays. The Zipp "high" wheels are very smooth and efficient, and the 28 tires effectively absorb the roughness of mountainous roads. The performance of the bike on the flat is incredible, I confirm the previous opinions. On the false flats you can still accelerate, and you don't run into the wind in the windy valleys. My big surprise was the behavior of the bike in the mountains. It is remarkable. Living in a mountainous region, I did several passes between 12 and 20 km. With this Van Rysel I had no loss of performance in high percentages, with still as much fluidity in pedaling. We always have the impression of being under the pedal. The position of the hands on the top of the handlebars (shaped like an airplane wing profile) is very pleasant and I got to the top of the passes easily and more quickly. On the descents you go fast, and the brakes are very effective. However, I advise you to do the first long descent of the pass relaxed to get used to the somewhat "stiff" behavior of the bike in the closing turns in order to properly dose the braking. Relaunches after tight turns are very punchy. So during your next descents you will spin like the wind in complete safety. A few general remarks: The Deda meter holder provided is perfect and adapts to several brands. It's a detail, but the handlebar tape is really good quality and solid (I don't know the brand...). Be sure to break in the disc brakes before your first ride. The following video explains why and how to do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUV2Eo9ERSk For my part, I did this break-in in the parking lot of a supermarket on a Sunday. The rubber collar located around the seat post (to hide the saddle height adjustment screw) seems a little fragile to me, and I'm not sure how long it will last. It would be nice to have an extra one in the accessories that come with the bike.

Really great bike, a…

Really great bike, exceptional performance beyond 30 km/h. I'm testing it this week in the mountains

very good bike

I don't know all the bikes and I haven't tried everything but this bike is very good as long as we exceed 30 to 35 km/hc it's impressively efficient I imagine that the other bikes do as well but maybe not at the same price and frankly this bike is very beautiful in white

Very efficient bike and great quality/price ratio

Great bike that I've been riding for 3 months. The electric transmission is fluid, the bike is light and responsive and the ideal development for flat or mountain riding. The only downside is the in-store service, when you buy a bike for €4,200 you don't expect to see it handed to you by a total amateur who doesn't know how to answer questions. It lacks a little support.

A top product…

Additional Product Information

Composition

Frame (for bike): 100.0% Carbon

The rcr range

The RCR range is a real treat for cyclists who want a complete bike with no compromises. For this bike, performance was our priority. The cross-sections of every tube have been calculated to be as efficient as possible in the main wind angles (-15°/+15°).This bike falls within the Inchlightweight aero Inch category of bikes, offering the perfect balance between weight, rigidity and aerodynamics, resulting in an exceptional bike.If you want a bike designed to win races, look no further than the RCR

What's the difference between the rcr and the rcr pro

What makes a carbon frame is its geometry, its shapes and its layup. The layup is how the carbon fibres are assembled. Not all fibres have the same properties. On the frame of the RCR, we only use high-modulus fibres. On the RCR PRO, we've chosen exceptional fibres that make the bike stiffer in the areas that are put under the most stress and that slightly reduce the weight. The RCR PRO is ready to compete at the highest level.

A closer look at the frame

The RCR's frame weighs 830 g (painted) in size M The RCR Pro's frame weighs 790 g (painted) in size M The RCR's fork weighs 380 g (painted) in size MThe frame can take tyres up to 33 mm wide.There may be slight variations in weight depending on the colour (+/- 50 g).

Cockpit

We've cleverly integrated the parts of the headset so that the RCR steers smoothly while remaining easy to maintain.DEDA x VAN RYSEL Superbox EVO: the stem is lightweight yet sufficiently rigid XXS: 70 mmXS: 80mmS: 90 mmM: 100 mmL: 110 mmXL: 120 mm Deda Superhero RS (carbon) handlebarHandlebar width: XXS: 380 mmXS/S: 400 mmM/L: 420 mmXL: 440 mm

Sram rival groupset and quarq power meter

The RCR bike is equipped with the SRAM Rival eTap AXS complete groupset and Quarq power meter. A power meter is a must for cyclists who want to plan their training to help them improve.Total drive train weight: 3045 g with power meterThe electronic groupset has two separate batteries (one for each derailleur). You can use the SRAM app to set up your bike and view data from your rides.

Drive train maintenance

Please note that it is important to regularly service your drive train, especially if you ride in difficult conditions (wet and/or dirty roads).Regular maintenance will help your drive train to last for longer.You should regularly check your chain with our chain wear indicator, which is available on our website.

Lifespan of a drive train

When buying a bike, it's important to take into account the cost of servicing it, especially as regards the drive train.The amounts below are averages and are given so that you have a general idea of what to expect. They will of course vary depending on the care you take of your drive train.The average lifespan of a well-maintained chain is 5000 km.The average lifespan of a cassette is 10,000-12,000 km.A poorly maintained chain can jump, which can damage your bike's frame.

Disc brakes

SRAM Rival disc brakes with 160 mm discs at the front and 140 mm at the back.The SRAM Rival brakes are hydraulic. This gives you progressive, more powerful braking than with cable-actuated hydraulic brakes.You will need to bed these brakes in. Simply brake gradually 20 times at a low speed (20 km/h), then repeat at 30 km/h. Make sure to bed in both brakes.Bedding in creates more friction between the disc and brake pad.

Guarantee

Our carbon frames and forks come with a 5-year warranty.
