Van Rysel has really come on leaps and bounds in recent years. A subsidiary of sports hyper-retailer Decathlon, it has done well lately to silo itself off and build a slightly more premium reputation than the other cycling gear in the Decathlon family. A sponsor of Cofidis for a couple of seasons now for clothing, and now a title sponsor for Decathlon-AG2R, including bikes, clothing and accessories, it’s no great surprise that more people are taking an interest in the brand, especially given it still seems to be maintaining a commitment to some pretty low prices.
The Racer 2 is Van Rysel’s unisex, do-it-all road jersey. While you may see Cofidis and Decathlon-AG2R in Van Rysel Jerseys, those are more premium offerings and appear to only be offered in like-for-like team replica colours. The Racer 2 is likely what you’ll be steering towards if you’re coming to the site looking for a well-performing bargain.
