At Sea Otter I was told that in addition to a high-end dealer network, the new bikes will indeed be sold to US customers DTC through Decathlon’s website once production volume improves. What won’t happen is being able to buy one at a US Decathlon brick & mortar location since all the pilot stores no longer exist.
Hi (first post)...Been admiring the look of the FCR since I saw it on insta.
Travelling back to the UK (from Australia) and then to France to follow Le Tour next month and planning on picking a bike up (from Uk or Europe) rather than bringing mine from Aus - also means I can pick a bike box alan up whilst Im back in UK rather than trying to get it shipped to Australia.
I was thinking of a Canyon Aeroad but having seen the FCR was edging towards that, but availability (for both) is pretty shocking at the moment. Im checking decathlon (UK & France) everyday but never any stock.
Was also hoping for a 'real world' review on the FCR before I commit to one, doesnt seem to be much around at the moment.
Be really good to see a review on the FCR before I commit - post above re build isn't confidence inspiring.

Hi All,
My first post as well . I am interested in RCR Force. I know very little about SRAM groupsets, but looking at a recent picture https://images.immediate.co.uk/producti ... 1239%2C826 from Sea Otter it seems it will have a PM?
Was the geometry already officially published or is this https://geometrygeeks.bike/bike/van-rysel-rcr-2023/ some sort of speculation?

According to Decathlon, FCR will be availale to order online (at least in my country) in the second half of July. I'm tempted to pull the trigger on one, as the indigo blue version look stunning on the factory photos. Now I wonder if anyone had the privilege to test ride it and share some impressions. Did you find any online articles, etc?

Seems the RCR are being dropped at few magazines for test.
Seen the french Le Cycle posting about it on IG. They are not really a trustable source of feedback but yet curious.

Not super excited by the mate black on black colour offered but some like the stealth approach.

Van Rysel RCR on Tour: 207W that is an impressive performance.
- as aero as the foil/ dogma F / SSevo4/ aeroad / cube litening (206/208w)
- ahead of sl7 (210w), Orca aero (212)
- way ahead TCR, adict, SSevo3, xelius
- within 2w of S5
A bit on the flexier side compared to others but not as flexi than latest SS fork.
Here tested with a 350mm bar so definitively play in their favour in the wind tunnel
