Van RyselRCR-F Pro
Newer version: Van Rysel RCR-F2 Pro
The RCR-F is Decathlon's aero race bike, developed with aerodynamics firm Swiss Side and raced by the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale (now Decathlon CMA CGM) WorldTour team. It sits alongside the lighter RCR climbing bike: Van Rysel aims it at races with less than 1,500 m of climbing per 100 km and claims it is 13 W faster than the RCR at 45 km/h. Every RCR-F is sold on the same Pro-layup frameset with a Deda-made one-piece cockpit and a power meter, from SRAM Rival AXS to Dura-Ace Di2 and SRAM Red AXS builds.

Our verdict
Overall
out of 100, average of 7 categories
Decathlon's WorldTour aero bike tested among the fastest in TOUR's wind tunnel and every build comes with a one-piece cockpit and a power meter, at prices well below most rivals. The frame is heavier than the lightest superbikes, the warranty is five years and the cockpit comes in one size per frame.

| Notes | Euro-market build (France and Germany list it at €4,500); not on Van Rysel's UK site. Van Rysel's page calls the power meter a Quarq sensor on the Rival E1 crankset; tubeless valves and sealant come with the bike. | UK-market build; not listed on Van Rysel's French or German sites. Van Rysel's UK page gives the frame as 'High Modulus Carbon' in its feature list but 'Super high modulus carbon' in its comparison table and frame description; all RCR-F Pro builds share the same frameset. Tubeless valves and sealant come with the bike. | Euro-market build; price from Van Rysel France. Van Rysel Germany lists the same build at €6,449.99, and a further German listing ('RCR-F CF', SRAM Force AXS E1 Powermeter) at €6,299. A pink/black 'Van Rysel Roubaix' limited edition of this build is €7,999.99 in France. Tubeless valves and sealant come with the bike. | EUR price from Van Rysel France (white and grey); Van Rysel Germany lists €6,199 (cypress green) and €6,149.99. USD price from Decathlon USA. Cyclist reported £6,000 for this build at launch in March 2025. Tubeless valves and sealant come with the bike. | EUR price from Van Rysel France; Van Rysel Germany lists €8,999. USD price from Decathlon USA (a blue Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale team edition was listed at $11,999 but sold out). Van Rysel's page quotes front/rear wheel weights of 848/996 g but labels them as the Hadron² Classic 625's. Tubeless valves and sealant come with the bike. | Listed on Van Rysel Germany only, with a short spec (SRAM Red AXS E1 with power meter, Zipp 454 NSW wheels, Fizik Vento Argo 00 saddle, 'Ultra-high modulus' frame); the tyre is written 'GP5000S STR'. The page doesn't detail the cockpit, seatpost or drivetrain parts, so they are left out here. |

Design
Van Rysel says the Pro layup makes the RCR-F 7% stiffer at the head tube than the RCR Pro, aimed at sprints and attacks.
SourceAerodynamics
In TOUR's wind tunnel the RCR-F Pro needed 200 W at 45 km/h, second only to the Storck Aerfast.5 Pro among the production bikes it had tested.
SourceAerodynamics
Cyclist's launch report gave the saving over the RCR as 13.6 W at 45 km/h; Van Rysel's own pages say 13 W.
SourceFit
Van Rysel recommends the RCR-F for routes with less than 1,500 m of climbing per 100 km at average speeds of 35-50 km/h, and the RCR Pro for hillier routes.
SourceFit
Bar widths are measured at the ends of the drops; Van Rysel offers VR x Deda triathlon extensions for the cockpit.
SourceCompatibility
Van Rysel's text says the frame comes in XS to XL, but its geometry chart and cockpit and seatpost tables also list an XXS, and the UCI approval covers XXS to XL.
SourceRacing
The Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale team gave feedback on the bike through the 2024 WorldTour season and has raced it officially since 2025, now as Decathlon CMA CGM.
SourceHistory
Van Rysel launched the RCR-F for sale in March 2025 with three Shimano Di2 builds; SRAM builds followed later that year. The team had raced it the season before.
