We cycle over to East London's Decathlon store to check out the Van Rysel RCR Pro Replica, the RCR pro and the RCR.
Three bikes available from Van Rysel.
Let me know what you think about the bikes- Decathlon doesnt really feel like a bike store but the guy we met there was really helpful and let me ride one around the store.
What do you think about the frames and the options with the groupsets?

In the future you will also be available to just buy the RCR Pro frame for 2500€, which is going to be a killer deal. Given how cheap you can get the very soon to be replaced SRAM Red groupset atm, you can build a top 7kg bike for around 5k€ .

This is true. i know that they didnt have any Replica frames in stock in Decathlon. Selling like hot cakes. Sram RED coming out next week apparently

are you talking 5k€ with frame? or without, just curious of the components and costs

What do you think of the rcr rival in white, I haven’t seen many videos showing it, I’m curious how heavy it would be in size small, also you thoughts of the white colour? Thanks

@thewattlife 2 ай бұрын

I think it was about 7.7kg in the white with the rival. This also comes with a quark power meter. I liked the white- looks good with the dual coloured top tube. But the black RCR’s caught my attention more with the tan wall tyres.

@thewattlife 2 ай бұрын

The EnVe was a partnership for last summer and went back. Paris now rides for Bianchi so has an Oltre and an Aria.

They had a rather large stall at the Shanghai bike show... Makes me wonder if alot of the bikes will be sold in China and due to the large market there... It may mean not too many bikes will available in other regions.

@thewattlife 2 ай бұрын

Oh how did you find out about Shanghai? Did you go to the show? I need to find some more videos on it if you know of any..? I don’t know how Decathlon works in Asias and whether they have fulfillment/storage but they are obviously huge in Europe

@glennicol1361 2 ай бұрын

Yep@@thewattlifeI was at the show. They had multiple stalls on the bike and pretty sure they had a gravel bike on show too. Joe from China Cycling has a 4 part series on KZfaq covering the show...

Amazing, id LOVE to go to the Shanghai bike show. Ive watched Joe's video- i didnt realise that Van Rysel has such a big presence there. I imagine they are ordering a LOT of frames from Xiamen though so it makes sense.

Dude, it is so dangerous filming and talking into a camera that is hand held leaving one hand on the handle bars to steer. Just put a bracket on your handle bar with the phone in it and pointing at you. You can talk to it and control your bike more safely. As for filming the ride itself. Do what I do, and mount a camera on your helmet. I have a Contour which has been going for years with a 130 degree view without being a fish eye lens. But I believe Go Pro is the most popular option, either helmet mounted or on your chest. Much safer for you and your fellow riders.

@thewattlife 2 ай бұрын

I was born in the 80’s- health and safety wasn’t a thing. I don’t mind filming with one hand but I do understand it has its drawbacks backs. I have a front mount with a 2nd camera under it which I’ll use for chain gang rides as I won’t film one handed doing that

@DanTuber 2 ай бұрын

The step up from £5.5 to 9k just doesn't seem worth it. I'd say it seems like a nice bike but not really any better value than a canyon on discount. Even the frame only would be close to 5K AUD.

@thewattlife 2 ай бұрын

Yeah seems like a big one. I think for value the Force /Ultegra seem like the best option- with power meter. Still a good weight bike. Even swapping an aftermarket bar (which you don’t need to) would be more economical

@pierrex3226 2 ай бұрын

A decathlon bike for 9k is a tough sell :)

@@thewattlife indeed. From his own view, the swiss side wheels seem to be half the answer, they really geeked out on aerodynamics, rim / tyre interface and so on. The frame can't be materially different from peers, starting with the fact it really, really looks like an sl7.

Isn't Decathlon doing exactly the same as you did with your T1550, just on a huge scale? I get everyone doesn't want to build a bike themselves, but it shows how overpriced big brands are!

@thewattlife 2 ай бұрын

These bikes are going to sell really well given their price and the components they are paired with. The RCR with Sram Force and power meter is 5,500. This is maybe £1,000 more than my T1550 but you get a localised retailer to deal with any problems you might have. Decathlon doesnt feel like a bike store- it seems like its a very big company which could afford to put money into developing this bike and has an already established network to act as distributor. Theyve done well with the RCR and not least because of Ben O'Conner

@phil_d 2 ай бұрын

@thewattlife 2 ай бұрын

The 9k is the replica for the Tour team so I guess while it’s expensive it has to be in line with the quality of the rest of the teams so the price kinda makes sense. The RCR with a Sram Force is good value- but saying that, I know you could build an equally good bike yourself for the same price with a 1 piece bar
