Van Rysel was officially launched on January 18, 2019 in Courtrai, Belgium — a few kilometers from Lille — as Decathlon’s dedicated high-performance cycling brand. The name is a nod to the brand’s roots: “Rysel” is the Flemish word for Lille, placing Van Rysel squarely in French Flanders and the classics country that defines northern European road racing. The brand’s bikes are conceived and assembled in Lille, and have been refined through partnerships with professional teams including AG2R La Mondiale and Cofidis. More on the brand and its lineup at Van Rysel’s official website.
RA Cycles carries the complete Van Rysel road and triathlon lineup. The RCR is the all-road race platform — available from Rival AXS entry builds through to flagship Dura-Ace Di2 and Red AXS configurations. The RCR-F adds a dedicated aero geometry to the same carbon platform. The XCR Tri is built for triathlon, with integrated storage and aerodynamics suited to long-course racing. Custom builds in Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo are available for riders who want to tailor the spec, and the RCR Pro frameset lets you start from scratch.
