Van Rysel RCR-G Rival AXS

The Van Rysel RCR-G Rival AXS brings World Tour aerodynamic technology straight to the gravel grid at an accessible price point. This is entry-level performance that delivers game-over capability for the competition. Engineered with an obsession for pure speed, the RCR-G Rival AXS proves you don't need the premium builds to access genuine race-winning performance—just the technology that matters most when the moment comes to attack and break away at the front.

Built for riders who refuse to compromise on speed, the RCR-G Rival AXS is purpose-built for high-level gravel racing where average speeds exceed 35 km/h and up to 40 percent of the course runs on tarmac. The 885-gram RCR-G frame is sculpted from 366 pieces of high-modulus carbon incorporating 60T fibers using a surgically precise lay-up strategy that locks stiffness exactly where torsional demands are greatest. Before reaching production, the frame was sculpted using Computational Fluid Dynamics and wind tunnel tested extensively. Precision work on the head tube and seat tube delivers an unmatched aerodynamic edge—an 8.6-watt saving at 45 km/h. Over two years, DECATHLON CMA CGM professional team riders blind-tested eight distinct carbon lay-ups to achieve the perfect balance of explosiveness during acceleration with total control at high speed.

The complete build weighs just 8.5 kg in size M, translating every watt directly into speed and acceleration. SRAM Rival eTap AXS E1 wireless drivetrain with integrated Quarq power meter provides precise real-time wattage data for training and race execution. SRAM Rival hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful, controlled stopping in all conditions. Van Rysel VR30 AL wheels paired with Continental Terra Speed 45mm tires deliver versatile performance across all terrains. Up to 50mm tire clearance, UDH compatibility, and 1x or 2x drivetrain options provide the adaptability serious gravel racers demand. The RCR-G Rival AXS is the weapon when it matters most.
