Van Rysel RCR-G Force AXS

The Van Rysel RCR-G Force AXS delivers pure gravel racing performance without compromise. Built for riders who attack from the front, this bike brings World Tour road-racing DNA to off-road terrain, engineered with an obsession for pure speed and the competitive edge to break away alone where the air is clear and the racing line is yours. When high-level gravel racing averages over 35 km/h with up to 40 percent spent on tarmac, the RCR-G is purpose-built for one thing only: racing at the front.

The 885-gram RCR-G frame represents the lightest gravel platform ever designed, sculpted from 366 pieces of high-modulus carbon incorporating 60T fibers. Every element follows a surgically precise lay-up strategy that locks in stiffness where torsional demands are greatest, delivering instant acceleration without yielding a single unnecessary gram. The frame was meticulously developed through two years of real-world testing with DECATHLON CMA CGM professional team riders, who blind-tested eight distinct carbon lay-ups to achieve the exact balance of pure explosiveness during acceleration paired with total control at high speed. This is not laboratory theory—it's the undeniable verdict of the peloton.

Before hitting the track, the RCR-G was sculpted using Computational Fluid Dynamics and battle-tested in the wind tunnel. The result delivers an 8.6-watt aerodynamic saving at 45 km/h compared to its predecessor, with precision work on the head tube and seat tube optimizing airflow regardless of conditions. The complete build weighs just 7.9 kg in size M, translating every watt directly into relentless speed.

SRAM Force eTap AXS E1 wireless drivetrain with integrated Quarq power meter provides precise real-time wattage data for race-focused training. SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful, controlled stopping in all conditions. Van Rysel VR35 carbon wheels paired with Continental Terra Speed 45mm tires deliver versatility and grip across varied gravel surfaces. Up to 50mm tire clearance, UDH compatibility, and 1x or 2x drivetrain options ensure complete adaptability for your racing strategy.
