The RCR is a very good bike, but the follow-up in the event of a problem is not up to the standard of the product. I have a problem with a noisy transmission on my bike and after two visits to the workshop my problem has not been resolved and no solution has been offered to me. After contacting assistance, he advised me either: -To return my bike to a regional expertise center, without certainty of the qualification of the people present on site and therefore of the resolution of my problem. Nor any estimate of deadlines. -To go through a mechanic at an independent bicycle retailer and check with after-sales service to have the bill reimbursed. This raises questions about the notion of guarantee.

Very nice bike with incredible great behavior, very efficient, however very disappointed with the SRAM braking system, significant shaking and noise when braking, a problem noted by the Decathlon cycle service team.

Excellent machine, both aesthetically and functionally. Price/quality ratio, unbeatable. Very satisfied with the product.

Bike tested on the Artois 2024 loop the pros: The bike responds perfectly to restarts and is super versatile, the ZiPP wheels respond really well, the price is very good value for money the - the 48/35 crankset is limited for races, arriving at more than 45km/h it grinds hard, see to propose a 50/37, but this remains a personal opinion the matte black color is great, but very messy, prepare your rags ;)

Excellent

Excellent bike, comfortable, dynamic. Surprising! Great value for money! Buy without hesitation! A great success as the written press and all users can attest to!

The bike has been at home for three weeks, I've driven about 700 km (half of it on the bike, half on the road) and I'm completely satisfied. In terms of pedal pressure response, one could perhaps find an even stiffer bike, in terms of aero maybe too, but overall the bike moves forward incredibly. It's also not an aero-heavy machine at all in the hills. A classic today by weight. But all together with the price: where do you get such a machine today? In addition, the wattmeter is a nice added bonus.

Starting with the advantages: - Extremely stiff and agile bike, great for racing and training. If you're looking for a road bike for long, leisurely trips, this won't be it. -The standard weight of 7.7 kg is easy to lose, by switching to tubeless we go down to about 7.5 kg. (Size M) -The aerodynamics of the bike are felt when approaching a speed of approximately 40 km/h. -The quality of workmanship does not differ from premium bikes costing much more. -Personally, I like the cockpit solution which has internal cable routing but allows for easy replacement of the bridge. -The advantage is the flat carbon handlebar. -The price-quality ratio and the equipment we get is unrivaled. A few comments: -The painting is extreme minimalism, a thin layer of matte varnish with the carbon fiber visible underneath. Personally, it doesn't bother me, but it's not a painting that attracts attention. However, I can understand it due to the weight of the frame. -At first, it was scary that the upper frame tube worked slightly when pressed harder with the hand. This is due to the way the frame is shaded, it does not affect the stiffness of the frame, which is at an excellent level, but I would skip sitting on the top tube. -Factory zipp wheels are made with hookless technology. This is not a clear disadvantage, but the topic has recently been controversial, and I personally replaced the wheels with my favorite model. -Before purchasing, I recommend checking the geometry in detail to select the size, because the information provided by the manufacturer regarding the selection of height to size is very indicative. To sum up: I am very pleased with the purchase. The bike rides great, but it is equipment for people who are aware of their needs and expect a stiff and fast bike that will give a lot of pleasure from fast riding.

Already a user of the old RCR Van Rysel is very satisfied with this one, there with the New RCR going upmarket. after a few outings I am amazed by the behavior of the bike, both on flat roads and in the mountains the bike behaves very well. in short I have a real pleasure riding without forgetting the Sram Force equipment / power sensor, total casi integration of the sheaths, 404 tubeless disc wheels (to find better you have to go on the second-hand market and again I I'm not sure) the only downside is being able to find one personally living in Isère after 6 months of waiting and looking at the availability every day I ended up finding it in Ardèche Décathlon Salaise more than 100 km away only available at the start of the year in France.

Without a doubt the best on the market quality/price/equipment ratio. The right amount of rigidity without being excessive, excellent latest generation Sram Force groupset, Zipp 404 Firecrest rims with 5 bar max pressure and minimum 28mm tires make the bike comfortable and no less efficient. The overall behavior of the bike is very good, it restarts well without requiring too much effort, once launched you are on rails it no longer moves. It is not the lightest bike on the market, however it aims to be ultra versatile and there is no competition at this price. Received with a veiled disc which was revealed in store a few days later. Concerning braking, some people complained about the noise, we'll see when I finish breaking in. Just a small quibble on the size guide table that could be done better. A simulator would be great. The cardboard packaging of the bike is still quite far from what the competition (Canyon) offers, but that's just a detail. Finally, it would be nice if in the future customers could choose the sizes of different peripherals such as the handlebars, the stem or even the cranks. A little more customization. After a few rides I am very happy with this bike and absolutely do not regret my choice.

Higher level bike, identical if not better than bikes costing 10,000 euros and more.

A fan of mountain biking, I discovered road cycling with this bike. After 700km in 3 months, I am not disappointed, it's only happiness. This bike is a little bomb, you barely press and off you go. I was skeptical but the SRAM AXS is also super pleasant, the gears click very smoothly. The 28 tires are super reassuring for me who comes from mountain biking. The braking is very aggressive, which is great, but the small contact surface between the tires and the road means that the bike crashes very easily (I imagine that this is the characteristic of road bikes and not clean to this model) Two negative points: - the speedometer support for the Deda handlebars which is fixed via the jaws of the stem, not very practical to install. - the width of the ZIPP wheels which creates lift in the event of a gust, but on the other hand it probably also helps to gain speed and have a straight trajectory. Well, from an aesthetic point of view, it's just too beautiful. It corresponds exactly to what I expected based on the photos on the D4 website.
