The Van Rysel RCR 105 Di2 Bike is the company's flagship race platform at this price point — a genuine race bike, not a road bike with racing aesthetics. RCR stands for RaCeR, and the name carries real credentials: this frame is the same platform raced by the Decathlon CMA CGM WorldTour team, developed directly with riders competing in Grand Tours and Monument races. Van Rysel, built within Decathlon's engineering infrastructure in northern France, was designed specifically to close the gap between WorldTour-grade hardware and what a competitive amateur can realistically access. The 105 Di2 build takes that foundation and pairs it with a drivetrain that serious competitors train and race on, along with a standard-issue power meter and tubeless-ready wheels.

The frame story begins in Lille, where Van Rysel's design headquarters and Onera — The French Aerospace Lab, the research institution that develops aerodynamics for fighter aircraft — sit meters apart. That physical proximity produced a genuine engineering partnership. Van Rysel and Onera ran Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations and wind tunnel testing to shape every tube cross-section around the wind angles that actually occur during a road race, defined as the -15° to +15° range. The goal was a frame that belongs in what Van Rysel calls the "lightweight aero" category: a design that treats low mass and reduced drag as equal priorities rather than trading one against the other. Topological analysis was applied to remove material where it wasn't needed while preserving stiffness in the zones that carry load. The High Modulus Carbon construction brings the frame to 830 grams painted in size medium, the fork to 380 grams, and the complete system to 7.7 kilograms. Tyre clearance extends to 33 millimeters, offering more versatility than the race geometry might suggest. Available in Smoked Black in sizes XS through XL, with a race-position cockpit spec that scales with the frame.
The drivetrain is Shimano 105 Di2,…
