PRODUCT INFO:
RCR or RCR-F: Which One is Right for You?
The RCR-F Pro is built for speed on rolling to hilly terrain. It excels on courses with less than 4,900 feet (1,500 m) of elevation gain over 62 miles (100 km) and at average speeds of 22 to 31 mph (35 to 50 km/h).

The RCR Pro is designed for tougher climbs and mountainous terrain. It’s ideal for routes with more than 4,900 feet (1,500 m) of climbing over 62 miles (100 km) and at average speeds of 16 to 22 mph (25 to 35 km/h).

Aerodynamics: Engineered for Pure Speed
The RCR-F frame was developed with Swiss Side, a leader in aerodynamic optimization, to create the fastest road bike in the peloton.

Through CFD simulations, wind tunnel testing, and real-world validation by Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale pros, we refined every detail. The result? The RCR-F saves 13 watts over the RCR at 28 mph (45 km/h).

Unmatched Stiffness & Performance
Designed for maximum power transfer, the RCR-F features Super High Modulus carbon, built with 517 precisely layered plies of high-end fibers.

With 7% more front-end stiffness than the RCR, this bike delivers explosive acceleration in sprints, attacks, and all-out efforts.

RCR-F Pro Frame & Fork
Built for high-speed riding on rolling and hilly terrain, the RCR-F Pro frame features a Super High Modulus layup, ensuring maximum performance with superior stability at high speeds.

Co-developed with Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale, this frame is proven on the toughest UCI WorldTour races.

Frame weight: 1,010 g (2.23 lbs) (Size M)
Fork weight: 420 g (0.93 lbs)

RCR-F Pro Cockpit
Designed for aerodynamics, stiffness, and control, the Deda x Van Rysel RCR-F cockpit is built for performance.

Ergo drop inserts enhance grip in the drops
Integrated GPS mount (compatible with Garmin, Wahoo, and Bryton)
Triathlon extension compatibility (Van Rysel x Deda)

Find Your Perfect Size
Check the geometry chart and size recommendations. For the best fit, consider a professional bike fit before purchasing.

Drivetrain Maintenance: Keep Your Bike at Its Best
Regular maintenance extends drivetrain life, especially in wet or dirty conditions.

Clean & lubricate your chain frequently
Check for chain wear to avoid premature cassette damage

Drivetrain Lifespan
When purchasing a bike, consider the long-term cost of drivetrain maintenance. Lifespan varies based on care and riding conditions, but here are general estimates:

Chain lifespan: ~3,100 miles (5,000 km)
Cassette lifespan: ~6,200–7,500 miles (10,000–12,000 km)
A neglected chain can skip, causing premature wear or even damage to your frame. Regular maintenance is key.

Hydraulic Brake Maintenance
Hydraulic brakes use a sealed system but gradually lose pressure over time. If your brake lever feels too soft or pulls too far, it’s time to bleed the system.

This requires special tools and expertise—visit a professional mechanic if needed.

Warning and Adjustment
Never squeeze the brakes without a wheel installed—this can cause the brake pads to stick together.

If the rotor rubs against the pads, follow these steps to realign the caliper:

Loosen the brake caliper bolts.
Squeeze the brake lever firmly.
While holding the brake, tighten the caliper bolts.
If the issue persists, visit your nearest bike shop for further adjustment.

Pedals
Pedals not included.

Warranty
