I am 183cm with an 87.5cm inseam and bought the bike in size L and it fits, although an M frame with a sportier fit would probably have worked too. Appearance: I really like the color raw, matte black with a carbon structure. The lettering is also very elegant and matches the design in glossy black. Everything is very tidy. The frame, handlebars, wheels and gears make a very high-quality impression. Construction: A simple torque wrench and add-on parts were included. All that needed to be done was screwing on the wheels, saddle and pre-assembled handlebars. The gears were already adjusted, the tires full and the batteries charged. There is a suitable tire pressure advisor on the SRAM website, mine is only 3.9 bar! Thankfully no loud freewheel! Weight: 8.07kg including pedals and bottle holder. Ride: My first impression was: stiff, fast and yet quite comfortable. The bike goes downhill like it's on rails, I can hardly feel any flex when accelerating. The electric gears work without problems and are quite nice, but mechanical gears would have been enough for me. I was particularly impressed by the enormous capacity of the cassette. In terms of comfort: unlike in test reports of the Pro model, I find the RCR quite comfortable. Of course, the aggressive seating position requires sufficient muscle and mobility, but it is more comfortable over cobblestones or gravel paths than my Focus Mares with 28mm tubes. Even in windy conditions, the wheels ride really well; my skepticism about hookless has not yet been confirmed; tubeless is great. Race: After 2 rides, I started my first middle distance with the bike. Nice: because the stem is round on the handlebars, you can also mount trailers with round handlebar mounts (Van Rysel Aerobar fits perfectly). Now all that's missing are the SRAM Blips. The race was great, new best cycling time of 37km/h over 85km. Conclusion: Great overall package, where the system is coordinated and you don't have to buy new wheels or a different gear ratio first. It's a lot of money, of course, but I always tell myself that people pay the same amount for an e-bike and are therefore slower ;)

I was considering buying a racing bike from Van Rysel, but I can say with a clear conscience that you can't go wrong with this one. I come from the Oebea camp and always thought my previous Aero was great, but the frame of the RCR is so stiff, it's like riding on rails, but with great comfort! I can go faster with less effort than with my Orbea Orca. The size is also absolutely perfect, I have never ridden so comfortably before. I ordered the bike via Click & Collect, and when I picked it up the racing bike was assembled, but all the screws still had to be tightened... There was just a note on the handlebars saying that the pedals were not secure. But they were the only thing that was rock solid... Unfortunately I also had a scratch on the frame and the seat post seal was missing!!!!! After a phone call to the branch, they obviously couldn't remember... There was no call back either. I contacted support by email and hope for a customer-friendly agreement, because I am very impressed with the racing bike and would like to stay with the brand...

Same treatment as a supermarket bicycle. They just deliver the bike, they didn't make any adjustments. The seatpost comes with a scratch. Inadmissible on a bike of this quality.

1700km ridden and it was 1700km of the fastest, most exciting and hardest kilometers in my cycling life. The bike has been used a lot since day 1. Mainly on flat terrain. It will be tested in the mountains for days. The frame does not look super aerodynamic, but in slightly windy conditions it is hard to tell whether you are riding against or with the wind. SRAM Rival eTap AxS drive - fast and precise with slightly too "soft" brakes, maybe after service it will change - they brake well but the lever itself in my opinion "floats". All together caused my performance to shoot up despite the fact that the bike is about 1kg heavier than the previous one. A great advantage of the Zipp 303s wheel. Hookless, although it sounds terrible, I liked it - lower tire pressure is conducive to comfort without affecting performance. Now but... I recommend carefully studying the description, because the photos and promotional materials in MS or videos promoting the model on YT "are illustrative". The bike is sold with a Decathlon Road Light saddle (not the "indicative" Fizik) - very hard and in my opinion a bit too short, but fortunately in my case I got used to the hardness after a month and do not feel any discomfort while riding. To sum up - a bike worth recommending - quality for the price - top, appearance - top, components - top

I have been able to do more than 2000 km since purchasing the bike and I have encountered many problems with it: I received the bike assembled at Decathlon Rennes Chantepie (35) with a bad adjustment of the front derailleur which caused a tearing of the protection plate on the frame and caused several impacts on the frame during an inward derailment during the first outings (early July). The bike was then taken to the workshop. There was no commercial gesture but I am assured that the settings have been corrected. During the next outing, 4 outward derailments following a catastrophic adjustment of the front derailleur whose offset was visible to the naked eye. Following a second return to the workshop, the adjustment was corrected on the derailleur but the seat post was damaged because it was poorly installed on the bike workshop stand by the technicians. Being dependent on the brand where I had my bike delivered, my experience with the product is deplorable.

Very good product I recommend.

I have been using it for 7 months now, very comfortable to ride even if the saddle is a little hard which is normal, the gear changes are very pleasant, and the bike responds quickly to the controls. Wide handlebars for my small hands but it works, even if it means changing it for someone more competitive. Seems unbeatable value for money

Great value for money considering the equipment offered. A small improvement could be made on the cover between the seat tube and the frame (a little fragile and too thin) Bike that accelerates and asks for more as long as you have legs.. A thank you to the Decathlon customer service who were able to listen and take our situation into account. Another bike was delivered to us 2 days later. Well done.

An excellent compromise between rigidity and comfort. The bike is very efficient and versatile, despite the profile of the wheels, it is not difficult to take it when it climbs! I recommend redoing a front derailleur adjustment to avoid the famous chain jump that will scratch your new bike. Now I am telling you about a mishap with the brake hose screw that came loose during the brake bedding in. Result: leak and no more rear brake. The after-sales service offered to take the bike back for warranty support (1 month delay). I decided to repair everything myself. I ordered the part on alltricks and then bought the bleed kit to make up the difference. In 48 hours the bike was operational again... it's still a shame for a new bike at this price not to try to find a quick solution... And personally on delivery I did not have the meter support contrary to what I have read in other comments...

To guide some, I am 1.78 m and 69 kg, and I took the bike in size M and it fits me perfectly The bike has a great quality-price ratio, it is very comfortable and very easy to restart I just put a big point of vigilance on the settings of the transmission. They sell you the bike as being ready to ride when leaving the store. But this is false during my first outing. First passage from the big chainring to the small chainring chain jump = scratched frame… I went back to the Decathlon store where I bought it. I felt that the two technicians were at the limit of their skills on the Sram group. They looked like that and let me go. I had to make the settings myself with YouTube tutorials Check the settings carefully, even if it comes out of the store In terms of color, it must be specified that it is raw carbon. So do not expect a uniform black. Personally I find it very beautiful. Little tip, there is also a remote support for the meter and a torque wrench included

Great bike Just frustrated that a crack on the frame appeared 4 months after purchase No availability on the blue frame (the color that made me fall for this bike) too bad Otherwise Decathlon Montluçon customer service is fast and good advice

After 1000 km of use, I recommend this bike to you. The frame is super efficient, very responsive and at the same time comfortable. The disc brakes are super efficient and the wheels are super efficient. The electric group works great but the only downside is the large 48-tooth chainring. For my large build, it's just that in racing, a 52-tooth would be more suitable for me.
