It’s fair to say Van Rysel is having a bit of a moment. Finally, after much speculation, the brand broke into the WorldTour with sponsorship of the AG2R squad, who will be riding its RCR Pro bikes for the 2024 season. Sadly this is without the brown shorts, but with the brand's parent company Decathlon emblazoned across the team jerseys as title co-sponsor.
Given the new bike will be seen in the wild at the Tour Down Under very soon (stay tuned for a full gallery) the brand has timed it well to jump into the smart trainer market with not one, but three offerings, starting at an extremely competitive £239.99 / €250.00, making it one of the cheapest smart trainers on the market, significantly undercutting models like the Wahoo Kickr Core and the Zwift Hub One that currently hold the ‘best budget option’ in our guide to the best smart trainers.
