I don't think they will destroy other bike brands, those brands are happily doing it themselves.
lol - this made me laugh
Brands are not for people, they are for super heroes…😂
Look at windspace frames
@@ccbanger1414yes they are
Huge congratulations to Decathlon for all their hard work over the years. I loved my red Triban back in the day. I see it as the ancestor of these amazing Van Rysel offerings.
I find this really exciting, I want to upgrade to a new bike sometime over the next year or two and can rysel is a real serious option, and I want to support a brand who is making it more accessible to someone like me.
Not just Van Rysel, though I give them credit for breaking the WT monopoly. Others from the far east that have a strong reputation there that are making inroads in the UK/EU market will be hot for 24/25 such as Elves & Yoleo.
I think it's really impressive how quickly they have built the brand and credibility. They have some good high quality kit thats well priced. I'm sure they've put the Willys up the mainstream, brands.
Their alu endurance 105 with rim brakes is amazing, compact gear ratios. Such a nice ride on hills and flats.
1100€ for that against an Allez that has Sora on it for about the same price...no wonder they built the brand easily, when they dont overcharge for mid tier bikes like some do for entry level bikes.
Van Rysel keeping it real even with the shit show that is world economy atm...
Hope you had a chance to stop by the Bianchi booth, the new Specialissima really knocked my socks off. I know there was some controversy at Roubaix about it but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt when they pinned the problems on faulty assembly.
The road lineup from Van Rysel is great, the RCR with new sram force and zipp 404 will cost you 5000 euros in EU...that is insanely great value for what you get...I mean Aeroad with the same groupset and wheels is 7000 Euros. The only problem with VR is that since the bikes are such a great value, it's impossible to get them...and soon enough they will increase their price significantly because of the high demand. And if they follow the footsteps of other bike brands like Factor, Trek, Basso and so on, and give away their bikes for free to bike influencers on instagrams like PUCK Moonen, and yt bike influencers for "honest" bike reviews, well soon enough we will see VR bikes overpriced like the 90% of road bikes today.
Is puck an influencer? I thought she was a pro racer??
Beautiful bike… no doubt about that…. But to be honest the average rider don’t need, can’t feel the difference and can’t get the benefit from a PRO rider frame… it’s just another brand that wants us to think that and thus spend way more money on a bike than we actually need…
90% of all Sunday riders would be perfectly happy with a high quality alloy frame or a mid range carbon frame with 105 Di2… But the bike industry want us to think, that a bike 3 times th price will make us soooo much faster 😑
Wheres the XCR? Cant even find it on the website.
Excellent ambassador Pete is for Van Rysel and Decathlon.💯👌🏻✌🏻🚴
Leuk vlaams fietsje hoor! 👍
Beautiful looking bikes! I hope you will get an opportunity to review one! 🙏
My local decathlon (London Canada Water) has a beautiful display area so I got to have a good look at these bikes. very impressed. they look like top quality bikes.
Best benefit is that you can change stem length! Right now I have a Canyon Endurace size M and put an 120mm stem on it. Knowing that the new Endurace are even shorter and with a fixed 100 mm stem it’s out of the question to buy a Endurace because I need long reach and high stack. Looked on Ultimate but the design is ugly with the two color split theme.
The van rysel venge is looking good.
We only have the NCR Tiagra version and that $4000+ cream gravel bike here in Canada...
Nothing on the FCR range?
Looks like a winspace
no, looks like specialzied tarmac sl7
IMHO, they have made a mistake by not calling and branding their gravel bike VR, Riverside sounds like something you would get off a Littlewoods catalogue 😢😢
Their new e-grvl is van rysel, so I guess the next series will be moved into van rysel.
Agreed
AFAIK Decathlon is currently cutting down on the amount of their own store brands. Apparently most of cycling section will be Van Rysel branded in the near future
IIRC Riverside was for their touring bikes primarily.
I think their gravel bikes are a bit lost without their own brand, so some of them are Tribans, some are Riverside.
Will you get one for testing? I would like to see your review.
Hopefully so yes, so make sure you're subscribed :)
Shame you didn’t show the xcr/tt bike
Those guys know what they are doing and getting JP and Swissside involved can’t be overestimated and they may just entice Bardet to join.
But they only ship in UK for now? i just asked them on whats app
T>hey are shipping all over europe, the best country to buy from is portugal, has the price is way lower than the rest of europe
They *say* you can buy all this stuff in their stores, but the Decathlon near to me hardly even has any socks available, never mind high end bikes and equipment. I don't think they even have a Triban road bike in there at the moment
You can still order online and choose store pickup (for 0 delivery fee).
Not ideal since you can't try before hand, but their return policy is excellent.
@@squngy0 Yeah, I might do that with a bike, but I should be able to go into a shop and try the helmet or the shoes before I decide whether to buy. That should be the big advantage with using a bricks-and-mortar business
I think Van Rysel deserves to do well and are already obtaining good results in racing.. good pricing compared to the competition and look great quality.. well done Decathlon/Van Rysel/Deda go for it 😊🚴🏻🚴🏻👍always worth remembering though it’s 97% the rider and about 3% the bike. I guess one concern could be resale value and depreciation compared to major brands but only time will tell on that one 😉Pete
I'll take any competition that introduces high quality equipment and drives down prices. It remains to be seen if Van Rysel does either of those things, though. The prices are slightly lower but hardly revolutionary. Also, who knows who's actually making these frames and to what quality.
It will be hard mostly because they're seen as a budget brand and they're competing against established brands that are known by most cyclists. Nobody will recommend an unknown bike to someone who's serious about cycling against a company that's been in the business of making and going over many iterations of pro bikes for decades no matter what the value is. Then you also have brands that are associated with status. The only fast way to the top would be winning TDF on their bikes.
The frames are good enough to have a dozen Word Tour wins in less than two months and one of the best aero ratings by Tour Magazin
Anything from Elves bikes ?
they weren't at the show
Wow
🥰
Their road line up is getting really good, but their mtb side is really lacking. They have a not particularly impressive trail bike, some xc bikes, and nothing on enduro or downhill, or a dirtjumper.
Why would it destroy other bike brands? I can get a Giant TCR 105 Di2 for $3500aud right now (effing great deal) whereas their NCR with 105 mechanical is $3800aud converted.
In Europe (in Czechia) the VR is 55k CZK while the giant is 92k CZK. Giant with 105 mechanical is 70k CZK. That's a big price advantage for VR.
Van Rysel employee can’t pronounce Van Rysel correctly 😂 anyway good to know the sales are good, it’s another proof decent quality bikes can be sold at a fair price
Другие бренды заелись, совсем дорогие стали. А Декатлон делает классные байки!!!
Problem with this frame is ultra agressive frame geo, and excessive reach. Unsusable for shorter riders, 380mm reach for size XS is nonsense. But it's designed for WT riders.
OH GAWD! WHY do they have to have a pressfit bottom bracket?!?! That is soooo 2010's...
will van dysel destroy other bike brand... dayum i clicked fast but than i read it correctly XD
future will be
deposits and waiting on a order for 3-4 months
like construction
manufacturers can't just manufacture hoping for sales or flooding the market we see those risks
SPECULATIVE SALES VS ORDERS
shoes are never on stock xD
I’d rather buy a second hand s-works SL7 for that price
why use the word "destroy" in negative way? they might as well save them, or save the industry, if prices of decent bikes were to be reduced to sane levels, more people will buy mid range bikes (105 di2, ultegra di2) , eventually they will earn more money, the sales cycle will increase , new tech will make people want to replace and upgrade every 2 years probably and new tech will trickle down as it used to, basic economy...our hobbies are no fun if we need to break our bank account for a decent modern bike, there is no real excuse for a ultegra di2 specie sl8 to cost more than 8000$, its not a car, it's not a motorcycle, it's only a bicycle.
RUclips creators typically use as many INFLAMMATORY words in the title as possible to attract more viewers and more clicks. So words like: “DESTROY, ANNIHILATE, KILL, TAKE-DOWN, SHRED, WHIP, PUNISH, RETALIATE”, etc. all seem to do their magic and generate more views, which equals more income for the creators. There’s no other reason other than greed. It’s simply the times that we live in.
@@alexanderg117 100% right! it's shameful times, the world is going mad. post modern era😞
Don't forget Decathlon's MTB brand Rockrider....as seen in UCI XC MTB racing......
15k for a bike , it is a pure madness and I suspect the other brands to price collusion. Decathlon wins with a bike which is 5k less and as stiff and well equipped. All the others brand will have to come back to reality and stop this madness.
told you it's the best 2023 bike....you ignored....
I hope so. Brands got greedy hope they go bust hahe
Well, I wouldn't be so proud of a carbon press fit bb shell in 2024.
When they will got 40 years experience in high level bikes (like other main constructors) then i maybe consider them
No they won't as they sell out immediately. And not everyone ones the same bike. As we all don't drive the same car.
Is a pressfit BB👎👎
PF bb, no thank you. I want something modern with T47...
This is like being able to buy an F1 car.
I don't get it.
Surely most people do not have the need for such refined race spec equipment?
Cycling culture is mad.😂
I love your videos David, but this one felt almost like an ad to me. A bit too single sided and promotional for me. Your other content feels more genuine and " honest" : to me. Liked your other sea otter content better.
It's Sea Otter. It'the whole thing is a giant ad. Without it and people like David, it wouldn't exist. Not David's fault. It is, what it is.
@@jamessankey01 his othe sea otter video showed the more noteworthy and unique things to be found there, which is more interesting than a one-brand-ad is what I'm saying.
Too long for me and the vast majority of amateurs I’d imagine….
Reach is pretty much the same as a Tarmac though...
That is beyond a shadow of doubt the ugliest bike I've ever encountered, bike manufacturers as a whole are on a downward slope, cycling unfortunately is becoming a money making nightmare, like most other sports. Such a pitty
It cost's same money as similiar range Canyon Aeroad - who the fck would buy this? It should be like 30% cheaper
Yep.
My tougths also.
Or winspace t1550 is cheaper and much better option
I can buy any Canyon model on their website now. I’ve been trying to get a Van Rysel RCR for 3 months and there isn’t any as they sell them out more or less as soon as they are released.
The reason? I don’t want a bike that I have to box up, send off and wait weeks on when it needs warrenty work. Like I had to do with the 3 canyon Aero frames I’ve had fail on me in the last 18 months.
Clearly, you get what you pay for, right? Their bikes LOOK great, but my personal experience was abysmal. Buyer beware! (Their “RockRider” series, for example, had great colorways and looked pretty good on paper, but in real life were a huge disappointment). Your mileage may vary, of course. I hope you will have better luck than I did.
Pressfit... 👎. Too bad, that's a sexy bike.
Tired, repetitive, formulaic marketing spin heard a zillion times beforehand…affordable, Asian frameset…enough said.
