Owned this bike for 5 months now and it’s been by far the best road bike I’ve ever ridden. Incredibly fast and surprisingly lightweight feeling on the road. I’ve found it responsive and agile and the stiffness of the frame means the power transfer just feels instant. I’ve owned the RCR pro previously and this is comfortably faster on flat roads. I have upgraded to some lighter weight 60mm deep wheels which have made it genuinely capable all round and on hills, though the integrated handlebar is amazing for flat and rolling terrain it’s not the most f Comfortable for long climbs but it’s designed for that. Love the feeling of how quickly you get up to speed and hold it on the RCR F it’s noticeable the extra average speed you pick up over a ride

Van Rysel RCR-F PRO Ultegra Di2 Road Bike 2025
The Van Rysel RCR-F Pro Ultegra Di2 Road Bike 2025 is the ultimate aero bike, engineered for speed and efficiency. Designed for the most demanding riders, it combines superior aerodynamics, stiffness, and performance. Developed in partnership with Swiss Side and tested by Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale professional riders, it is built for racers seeking top-tier performance on rolling to hilly terrain.
Optimised for competition, the RCR-F Pro excels in races with up to 1,500 metres of elevation gain over 100 kilometres, delivering high-speed performance between 35 and 50 km/h. The aerodynamically refined frame, developed in collaboration with Swiss Side, ensures maximum efficiency with every pedal stroke.
Crafted from Super High Modulus carbon, the frame features 517 plies of high-end carbon fibres for exceptional rigidity and lightweight characteristics. The RCR-F Pro is 7% stiffer at the front compared to the standard RCR, enhancing power transfer and responsiveness during high-intensity efforts such as attacks and sprints.
The frame and fork geometry provide stability and control on fast descents and climbs, while the DEDA x VR RCR-F cockpit optimises aerodynamics, stiffness, and ergonomics. Ergo drop inserts improve grip on the handlebar drops for maximum control.
Equipped with a GPS cyclometer holder compatible with Garmin, Wahoo, and Bryton devices, the RCR-F Pro ensures you stay on top of your performance metrics.
Whether chasing podiums or personal bests, the RCR-F Pro delivers the speed, stiffness, and aerodynamic advantage to dominate any race.

Hello! Does the VAN RYSEL RCR-F have a UDH rear derailleur mounting system?
Hi there, No this does not, Many thanks Joe W
Please advise what size to get with this bike, decathlon thought i should get a large as this new frame has longer reach than the RCR R. I'm 190 cm tall, currently on an old 58cm Scott Foil. I cannot get a bike fit. Thanks very much.
Hi there, Please contact the Customer Care team directly and we can look into this with you, Many thanks Joe W
