Why the Van Rysel RCR-F?
Unleash your speed: the Van Rysel RCR-F is a full-blown aero road machine engineered for one goal — to go faster, and to make every watt count. Born from wind-tunnel development with Swiss Side and fine-tuned by the pros of Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale, the RCR-F is optimized to slice through the air, saving up to 13 watts at 45 km/h compared to the “standard” RCR frame. Its sleek, dropped front end, integrated cockpit, and aggressive tube shaping create a machine that thrives when speed matters — roll flats, fast rolling terrain, and race-tempo efforts up to 50 km/h.
But this bike isn’t all about the aero advantage — it’s also built to deliver crisp handling and explosive power transfer. The RCR-F’s super high modulus carbon layup yields a front-end that’s 7 % stiffer than the RCR Pro, empowering you to sprint, attack, and hold your line with confidence. Even with its aero ambition, the bike remains light and nimble, tipping the scales at around 8 kg in a Shimano 105 Di2 build or even closer to 7.5-8 kg in higher spec versions. Every part, from the Deda x Van Rysel cockpit to the Swiss Side Hadron² wheels and tubeless-ready Continentals, has been chosen or designed to balance speed, control, and rideability.
If your mission is speed — cutting drag, accelerating hard, and sustaining pace on rolling terrain — the RCR-F is built to help you win that mission.
Technical Details
Not just aerodynamic but also extremely ergonomic. Working side by side with Deda, the Italian component company, Van Rysel designed a bar that saves you and average of 2.7 watt (at 45 km/h). The bar is also designed to be more comfortable, especially when in the drops, a oval shape in the drops to give you more control and confidence while in the drops.

Sizing Guide
The sizing chart is a great place to start when picking your next bike but everyone will fit a bike a bit differently. Your torso, arm, and leg lengths all play into what size of bike you may need. Plus, there's your own personal preference.
We always recommend swinging by the shop and taking the bike that you're looking for a spin to see how it feels. If you're unable to come by, looking at the geometry of your current bike and comparing it is a good place to start. If you have any further questions, our customer service team is there to help.
