Van Rysel Bikes

Van Rysel’s road lineup splits into two distinct pillars to suit every rider’s ambitions. For pure speed and race-focused performance, the RCR series leads the charge, with the RCR Pro exemplifying aerodynamic prowess, feather-light construction and strategic carbon lay-up to excel on all terrains. Complementing this, the EDR (En.Du.Rance) series is engineered for long-distance comfort: the carbon-fiber EDR CF and aluminum-framed EDR AF models deliver a balanced blend of responsiveness, stability and endurance.

At the pinnacle sits the RCR-F Pro, Van Rysel’s WorldTour-inspired flagship. Built around a pro-grade Dura-Ace Di2 groupset and an ultra-stiff carbon frame, it’s designed to thrive under the most demanding race conditions and shaves every gram in pursuit of speed. Just below it, the RCR Pro uses high-modulus fibers to maximize stiffness-to-weight ratio—its medium-sized frameset tips the scales at just 830 g—making it equally at home in breakaways or sustained climbs.

For riders chasing horizon-length miles, the EDR CF carbon model optimizes comfort without sacrificing efficiency, featuring an 890 g frame and fork combo tuned for mixed-terrain stability and precise handling. The EDR AF 105 brings that Endurance DNA into an accessible 8.8 kg aluminum package with a carbon/alu fork and Shimano 105 drivetrain, striking the perfect value-performance balance. And for tackling steeper climbs with less effort, the E-EDR AF electric-assist variant delivers pedal support up to 25 km/h, opening new horizons for endurance enthusiasts.

Whether you’re aiming for podiums or piling up century rides, Van Rysel’s road range blends cutting-edge racing tech with endurance-tuned geometry, all conceived and assembled in Lille, the cobbled heart of French Flanders.

Van Rysel: French Aero Performance, Born on the Cobbles

Van Rysel bikes channel the soul of northern France’s legendary cobbled classics into every carbon fibre. Born in 2019 just a few kilometres from the fabled secteurs pavés of Roubaix, the brand inherits a region where every jagged stone and punchy hill has crowned cycling heroes for over a century. That heritage fuels Van Rysel’s relentless pursuit of speed, efficiency and rider-first handling—qualities that shine whether you’re hammering a local group ride or pinning on a number for race day.


Cut-edge aerodynamics meet French finesse. Using advanced CFD modelling, FE stiffness-to-weight analysis and hours of wind-tunnel validation with Swiss Side, the XCR time-trial platform has become the fastest bike in the French peloton for 2024. Meanwhile, aerospace giant ONERA lent its airflow expertise to the award-winning RCR aero road bike—already responsible for more than 30 victories this season. Every tube shape, junction and cable run is optimised so your watts translate into pure forward velocity.


Total cockpit integration equals total control. Van Rysel partnered with Deda to create bespoke carbon cockpits for both RCR and XCR. The result is razor-sharp steering, reduced frontal drag and a seamless aesthetic that shaves grams without sacrificing stiffness. Whether you sprint out of the saddle or carve alpine switchbacks, the front end feels planted and responsive, inspiring absolute confidence.


Pro-level feedback, pro-level results. As the main equipment supplier for Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale and Van Rysel Roubaix, the brand gathers race-day data from WorldTour and Continental squads, then channels those insights straight into consumer bikes, helmets and eyewear. From the RCR PRO frame down to PERF 900 Light goggles, every product is validated under brutal race conditions before it reaches your garage.


Ride farther, faster, and with more flair. Van Rysel believes every watt, every second and every kilometre should feel like a small victory—whether it’s a lung-burning crit or a relaxed Sunday café spin. Explore our full collection of Van Rysel bikes, framesets and gear and discover why cyclists worldwide trust French-engineered precision to push personal limits and create unforgettable road-cycling memories.
