The eagle-eyed amongst you watching the Giro d’Italia will have spotted the Decathlon CMA CGM (previously Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale) riding the Van Rysel RCR-R Pro road bike, which was last year ridden to victory by Valentin Paret-Peintre, atop the Bocca della Selva, and it won’t be long before the inform Tobias Lund Andresen gets one, I am sure.

Below are all the details and sale prices on the Van Rysel RCR-R, and I’ve also added in the RCR-F Pro, which at full price is one of the best aero road bikes on the market, discounted by £1,500 to just £5,499, the lowest price it’s ever been.
Van Rysel’s arrival has certainly shaken up the WorldTour. Its top-performing road bikes have not only delivered Grand Tour stage victories under Nicolas Prodhomme in the Giro, but have also helped Felix Gall take fifth overall in the 2025 Tour de France General Classification. The Decathlon team also took the overall Team Classification in the 2025 Giro d’Italia, an incredible achievement given the budgets of super teams like UAE Team Emirates, Team Visma–Lease a Bike, and Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe.

In our RCR-R Pro review, we awarded it a 4-star rating and were impressed with its specs, looks, and lightweight performance. However, it was marked down for its cost.
Van Rysel says the RCR is designed in partnership with the world-leading Onera aerospace lab, and is meticulously refined to extract every iota of speed. The RCR-R and its RCR-F sibling have spent countless hours in the wind tunnel to deliver bikes that offer the perfect balance between aerodynamics, light weight and stiffness.
The Team Edition RCR-Pro has not only proven itself at the highest levels of elite pro racing, but at this price, it’s safe to say you’re getting a super bike with an incredible spec. The RCR-Pro features a Super High Mod Carbon frame that they say delivers powerfully responsive performance, thanks to its incredible stiffness-to-weight ratio.
It weighs in at 790g in a medium frame size, making it one of the lightest bikes in the aero-light category. The impressive build features an integrated carbon cockpit that houses all the cables, providing a clean front end and optimising aerodynamics, stiffness, and ergonomics. It’s also compatible with TT and triathlon bar extenders.
The top-tier race build continues with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 drivetrain components, offering instant electronic shifting and an efficient 12-speed cassette. There is also an integrated Shimano FC-R9200-P power meter, and Shimano Dura-Ace hydraulic brakes with 140/160mm disc rotors for reliable stopping power.
Elsewhere, the RCR-R Pro is equipped with Swiss Side Hadron Ultimate 500 carbon wheels. These are 50mm deep-section, tubeless-compatible wheels known for their aerodynamic performance, and come paired with Continental GP5000 S TR tyres.
