VAN RYSEL Officially Launches in Canada

VAN RYSEL, the race-proven European cycling brand, is making its Canadian debut — and Steed Cycles is honored to be one of only four exclusive retailers offering its products to Canadian riders.

Beginning in spring 2026, Steed Cycles will be offering the full VAN RYSEL range in-store and online, with Canada-wide shipping available. The collection will include bikes raced at the highest level and proven by the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale WorldTour team, which already earned 46 podiums and 16 victories in 2025. And available this November, VAN RYSEL’s acclaimed indoor trainer will keep riders pedaling strong all winter long.

Our team has had the chance to ride the RCR PRO over the past few weeks, and we’ve been genuinely impressed by its build, ride quality, and, above all, the value it delivers. VAN RYSEL brings top-tier performance within reach, making pro-level quality accessible to riders without compromise. As a shop committed to offering a curated selection of high-quality products, partnering with VAN RYSEL marks an exciting step forward. Together, we can make high-level sport more approachable and more attainable, to a broader range of cyclists.

VAN RYSEL MAKES CANADIAN DEBUT AT THE GRAND PRIX CYCLISTE DE MONTRÉAL

Montréal, QC – August 15, 2025 – Born in the wind, cold and cobblestones of Northern France, VAN RYSEL, the high-performance cycling brand and partner of the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale World Tour team, will make its first appearance in Canada during the prestigious Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal.

From North to North: same passion, same ambition.

Two cycling lands, two harsh climates, one shared passion for performance and precision. VAN RYSEL arrives in Canada with the same rigour, pursuit of speed, and respect for the demanding cyclist that has made it a trusted choice for riders across Europe.

Renowned for its premium, technical, and innovative approach to cycling, VAN RYSEL designs and develops its road, gravel, and triathlon products in Flanders, the heartland of cycling. Already embraced by top riders and passionate amateurs in Europe, the brand is now bringing its commitment to precision, performance, and authenticity to the Canadian market.
