Van Rysel Bicycles

Van Rysel is Decathlon’s dedicated high-performance road cycling brand — launched in 2019 and named after its home in French Flanders. “Rysel” is the Flemish word for Lille, and the brand wears that geography openly: born in cobblestone country, developed with the performance demands of the northern classics in mind, and refined through partnerships with professional racing teams competing at the highest level.

The RA Cycles Van Rysel lineup spans the full RCR road race range and the aero RCR-F — both built around a high-modulus carbon platform, available with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, Ultegra Di2, 105 Di2, SRAM Red AXS, Force AXS, Rival AXS, and Campagnolo Super Record WRL 13s. The XCR Tri covers triathlon and time trial. Custom build configurations are available alongside the RCR Pro frameset for riders who want to spec their own build from the ground up.

About Van Rysel

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.
