- Today we take a look at the FCR Aero Helmet from Van Rysel.
A great looking aero helmet at a reasonable price.

The helmet was tested at Swissside on a mannequin, head on and at 30 degrees, all tests at 40kph.
thanks for the info and details of this helmet..i am planning to buy this by next week.😊
again,thank you..goodluck.🤙
Nice! Do you have any info on what colors are planned for the future?
it seems in France they are already out of stock
Thanks
Hi Gerard, thanks, the helmet will also come in black and I would imagine team colours for Roubaix and AG2R at some point.
Hey nice video! Like me, you look like someone with more of a narrow oval shaped head. What helmets would you recommend for that shape - specifically looking for a narrow, low-profile lid. The specialised evade looks a little narrower than the VR in the video. From the video I fear that VR lid is going to look enormous on my narrow oval head. Any other helmets you've tried that had a really narrow low profile fit for an oval head and narrower face? Thanks!
Hi David, the Evade is by far the best fit for me as it sits really low on the head and as you say is narrower. The Gamechanger was close, except the lack of pads made it really uncomfortable. The FCR is a heavier lid but does look and feel really good to ride in. The HJC Furion sat the highest for me and gave a massive shroom/shower cap look which I did not like. Big sunglasses tend to balance this out though 😉
@@TheDecathlonMan Thanks that's so helpful!!
Hi, can you do a video comparing the RCR MIPS with FCR? Thanks
Sure can, watch this space
Hey, do you know when a MIPS version of the FCR will be available?
I already asked Decathlon support, they said Van Rysel did not told them yet and I also tried to contact VR itself, but they didn't seem to have an imprint/mail... they just refer to their social media, but don't read DMs.
It will not be long, when they appear on the website it normally will be released within that month. Unless something delays release. I will keep an eye out either way.
no stock in the uk :(
do you know when the new glasses are coming out?
Nope, all I have is 2024 I am afraid.
Will it become available in the Netherlands? And if so, do you know when?
Yup, www.decathlon.nl/p/racefietshelm-fcr-wit/_/R-p-304962?mc=8552279 likely next month
It is available as of today!
* goes running to Decathlon!
I bought it and it's very nice
Whoop whoop! Let us know how it goes! Loving mine, just need some nice weather next 😉
@@TheDecathlonMani'm also waiting for good weather to try It....i'm waiting for the sun🌞
Should I get a FCR or RCR Mips for normal riding 2-3per week ?
Depends what riding you do, if you ride on your own and fast, then get the FCR, if you ride in groups and tend to feel the heat or climb a lot get the RCR. The FCR can be polarising in how it looks, where as the RCR looks more “normal”
@@TheDecathlonMan on weekdays I ride solo, on weekends I ride group with few friends.
I don't like strap lock on RCR, I like magnet lock on FCR. But there is no Mips on FCR and no stock in my country.
The FCR will be coming with Mips soon, maybe worth waiting for that in black and AG2R colours
when will this be available in the US?
I hope before the summer, the first batch sold out in around a week.
I've read, that the straps are not adjustable. Is that true?
The straps are stitched at the ear junction so not adjustable for the ears, the strap is adjustable at the chin though.
@@TheDecathlonMan Hey thank you :)
Side strap appears unable to be adjusted to the ears. The V shape under both ears
Yep, they are stitched
Did you weigh it? Can let us know the weight of it?
Sure did, check out the description for helmet weights, it is 290g in medium
No mips? I’ve just ordered the team replica helmet for 20 pounds more. Looks better and with mips.
They just released the MIPS version in black and team colours this week. I am happy with no MIPS.
Are these available already??
Yes, last time I checked yesterday 3 left in size small 52-55cm
is there a mips version?
Yes, coming soon
The release policy is really strange. You guys don't get the bikes while all other countries don't get the helmets 😂
Totally agree, It could be while before I get a VAN RYSEL 😂 always feel a bit guilty riding my GIANT, still a great bike though.
@@TheDecathlonMan Well since I got my blue RCR beginning of December there wasn't one day without rain or Snow in Hamburg 😂 so it still hasn't seen a km of road.
Wise move! Let us know what you think once you have given it a good hiding! 🥳
MIPS?
Available later this year
Would be nice for the price. But without MIPS it's not an option.
MIPS version is coming soon
@@TheDecathlonMan sweet!
How would you explain MIPS? And why do you feel like it’s such a must have?
Just saw Cosnefroy winning in a FCR helmet that had a MIPS logo. So it's indeed coming. Or Decathlon is pulling a Cannondale LAB71 xD
It is coming, only a matter of time
Unfortunate that you didn't put the helmet on to top it all off
Very true, will do that next time, you can see it on my bonce in the cutaways though.
this helmet look like ancient aero helmet from Cateye.
Maybe, lots of design cues taken from other helmets that work very well.
