Product Details
The Van Rysel RCR Pro is built for racers who understand that true performance comes from the ideal balance of aerodynamics, weight, and stiffness working in perfect harmony. RCR stands for "racer", because that's precisely who this machine is designed for. Developed through wind tunnel testing and validated by aerodynamics experts, this is Van Rysel's most advanced bike yet, earning recognition from Tour Magazine as one of the ten fastest bikes tested in their wind tunnel.
Aerodynamic efficiency defines the RCR's foundation. Through partnership with ONERA, a global leader in aerodynamic research, Van Rysel employed Computational Fluid Dynamics optimization to sculpt the most aerodynamic frame design possible. Every tube section, every junction, and every transition has been refined to minimize drag while maintaining the rigidity necessary for responsive handling. The wind tunnel-tested frame and fork prove that maximizing speed isn't just about going faster, it's about maintaining performance with less effort, delivering free watts that accumulate across hours of racing.
Lightweight performance represents the second fundamental pillar. At just 16.2 pounds (7.35 kilograms) in size medium with tubeless setup, the RCR achieves remarkable efficiency without compromise. Van Rysel employed topological analysis to strategically remove material from targeted areas across the frame and ancillary components. This precision approach ensures every part is as light as possible, making weight savings purposeful rather than reckless.
Stiffness is engineered for maximum energy return. Van Rysel sourced the world's finest carbon fibers from Japan, then carefully positioned them in key structural areas to enhance rigidity and channel every ounce of effort into forward motion. The Super High Modulus carbon frame delivers incredible propulsion with each pedal stroke, ensuring power transfer remains direct and responsive.
The complete package includes an InPeak dual-sided power meter for accurate real-time wattage data, hydraulic disc brakes for powerful, controlled stopping in all conditions, and Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic drivetrain for crisp, reliable shifting.
