    A Budget Tour de France Bike? AG2R’s Van Rysel RCR



    The world’s largest sporting retailer, Decathlon, is back as the co-sponsor of a WorldTour cycling team for the first time since 2006.

    Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale has new bikes in the form of Van Rysel’s RCR Pro. The Dura-Ace Di2 build, with Swiss Side wheels, is set to cost £8,500, placing it at the more affordable end of the WorldTour race bike spectrum.

    In this video, we take a look at the team’s 2024 build in a very cold car park in Lille.

      Many people complaining about the affordability. Affordable is relative, for anyone who needs a superbike, but doesn't want to break the bank, this is the affordable option compared to the competition out there. Just like an 'affordable' supercar is quite a paradox, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You have to compare it within in it's own category…

      What happened to the initial bike they teased, matte Black, kitted in Force AXS, tan walls & a rumoured £4.5k price tag?! That showed promise of Affordable super bike!

      As someone who works at an specialized, cannondale and bianchi dealer. It's absolutely insane to have that low of a weight with that much surface area of carbon. I'm also assuming they're not using the best grades of carbon in the world. Makes me wonder how they're able to pull it off. I do love what Decathlon does here though! It looks like a 10k+ bike

      Two points to be made;
      Anyone who thinks $8500 for a bicycle is "budget" is not paying for their bike
      Why on earth would they use a Shimano power meter?? They are very well known for being inaccurate.

      There are 2 sizes for Dura Ace 12 speed cassettes and 11-32 isn’t one of them! The BB on this frame looks nothing like my SL7, thank heavens!! Colour combo looks nice thou, so that’s something.

      Cool look! I’d say it would be really cool to see this in comparison to what it looks like in the middle of the year like say the TDF bike.
