shout out to all my extra thic riders out there who squeeze into there riding kits ;)
First off I apologize for me being "EXTRA THICCCC" I did the complete opposite of getting a summer bod........ but if you can get pass my Man size body, I really enjoyed my time on this bike, Big thank yo to Decathalon for letting me ride this bike for the past 3 weeks. if you have any questions please feel free to ask me below.....
Also another huge Thank you to my videographer and editor Danny, I am going to link his social down below because he does amazing work and if anyone needs professional work to be done in the area he has all the skills and equipment to do so. and very fun to work with. instagram.com/dannyswellchasers/
This is kind of my first ride review on the channel so let me just be clear that this is all subjective to me and my experience on the bike, you experience with the bike can vary. I felt a little weird riding hookless wheels for the first time and I was at 73 psi front and rear and something about me standing up and throwing the bike side to side mentally I could not get past yet, so that is why the lack of side to side for the out of the saddle lol.
nice to see you on the bike bro and same here with the extra weight lmao its called the dad bod but that doesn't mean we can't have nice things and go fast lol I love my bike makes me go faster and feel way more comfortable than my aluminum bike helps with climbing too. Anyway great video !!!
you look fast bro
No body shaming here, thank you for the great content :)
ticc rider here too. can you do a review on different brands of jerseys/kits? It took me a while to figure out sizing and brand fit.
It will be the Cofidis team riding the Van Rysel bikes ( I guess). They are already partnered with them or are sponsored by them but they raced Look bikes during the Tour. Van Rysel is actually sort of Belgian too because the name is in Flemish. No Cycling without Flanders or Belgium!
There are two versions on their site in France: 1) RCR PRO: 5500 euros in Ultegra Di2 and power meter (stage cycling), disc brake, Shimano Ultegra 8170 wheels in 36 cm height. The painted frame weighs 790 g in size M. 2) RCR: 4800 euros equipped with SRAM Force with Quarq sensor. Zipp firecrest wheel in 58 mm, disc brake. The painted frame weighs 830 gr. Either way, it's a very light frame for an aero bike. I have the visual impression that this size M fits you perfectly. Decathlon and more particularly Van Rysel (cycling branch of the group) continues to increase its quality, as well as for its textiles. They have expanded their range (Gravel, TT ..) and I think that there, they have done well.
Kudos on increasing the production value! I always enjoy your videos!
Thanks so much, I am always nervous how these turn out, I hate to waste peoples time but I had fun with this one
@@GCPerformance18 You did good =)
@GCPerformance18 Yeah, good job. love the video.
I understand the time constraints associated with making videos like this in amongst your busy week, but this is such a step up. SUPER engaging. And sod the body chat. Guess who's wheel I'd wanna be on if we were on a group ride!
Videography and production on this vid is great.. man your roads look awesome.. nice overview it would be interesting to see how it compares to some of your other bikes 😊 we have a lot of Decathlon stores here in the uk they are a household name and do produce good quality gear.. nice to see them in the Tour and doing more with cycling 😃👍🚴🏻🥇 more colour options would really help with is bike 😊 great to see you out riding 🚴🏻🚴🏻☀️ Pete
I love seeing you come out of your "shell" so to speak. And i love you got a custom kit done. Reslly just adds another level of professionalism to these sort of videos. Looking forward to more of this stuff in the future. Continue to keep it real!
I appreciate that! it is always difficult doing these formats for that reason, I feel awkward doing them, but I face it head on and try my best!!! Thank you
@@GCPerformance18 Great seeing you out and about - adds a really crucial aspect to your reviews in the shop.
Great video. I love this kinda video, from someone who’s just like us, not a cycling coach, former pro, crit racer, etc. That said, you still produced crazy power. The van rysel sure looks good, just like the tarmac. I’m not sure about the name, but it really is a good looking bike. And it comes with good components, at a competitive price point. It’s always good when we have bikes like this one on the market.
That's what you call "raising the bar"! Well done GC and Danny 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice work I was so surprised about completely different format of the video. Good job very like it. I’m impressed about your presentation and speaking flow skills
Love the new format and great editing! Looking forward to more reviews and videos like this! 10/10.
Awesome, thank you so much!!! means a lot to me
Love this new format of videos. Like the tongue in cheek stuff but I like to see ride impressions as well.
Awesome video and production value! Id love to see more videos like this one, keep up the great work GC!
I own a Decathlon bike (rc500) and they are all incredible value. Still glad of my purchase 2 yrs after.
Nice to see the bikes in motion and with a rider on top - more of this stuff please!
Me personally, I prefer the bikes to move without a rider.
We see you, Grant! 😂 impressed how you kept a straight face throughout the video 🤣
Lovely video! I like this review format as well. Oh and by the way, the popidy poppypopop of the Mustang is a natural thing as it gets(I love that sound), it's 'Merica after all :D . I live in Romania Bucharest City and here we have around 30 Decathlon stores, six in my city. They don't have this bike here. Most expensive Van Rysel bike they have is a CYCLOCROSS RCX II FORCE AXS 12S 1x drive and costs 3100 Euros.
This video seems next level editing and presentation. Appreciate your honest reviews and practical advice.
This is super cool! Having lived in Belgium, Decathlon is pretty much the Dick's Sporting Goods of Europe. The store brand products they make are usually pretty solid.
You've come such a long way presenting brother! Been following you since you had like less than 5k subs during the pandemic. Kudos from the Philippines
:)) Thanks so much!! I know right, I never would have thought I would have been here doing these videos but its because of you guys, comments like these people like you who keep coming back, I love to do this
Over here in the Netherlands it's even cheaper at € 4309,99... Very curious about availability though, that's always been an issue with Decathlon in Europe. I've read somewhere that this is a pre-release. More models with different configurations and colors will follow.
I too enjoy 28mm tires after switching from 25mm. Lower pressure really is more comfortable. Didn't love the hookless Foundation 65 wheels at first because swapping tubes is harder, but it's growing on me.
yea it was amazing, again not a fan of hookless but the tires I have on my bike now are 30s
Blink twice if you’re in danger.
Oh come on, he's just a bit nervous... He did pretty good!
😊
Hahahah super nervous, I hate speaking in public places or in front of someone.... im not a youtuber lol
Funny! Lol
I’d be nervous on hookless road wheels.
@@trekkerussstay out of your car then. It has 4 of them🥴
Amazing idea this format,keep it going man!
Please do this more often, your reviewing skills are excellent with realistic perspectives.
:)) i appreicate this so much!!! I had so much fun doing this
Seems like the first review of this bike on the tube! Awesome...these are always out of stock here in europe though which is kind of a bummer. Would you choose this or an Aeroad CF SLX 7 etap with a sram rival?
Awesome video Amazing Review and Great Camera Work….you are a Natural at this, we look forward to more videos like this…a very nice twist to the channel to keep it fresh and interesting…Awesome job and keep up the great work
Great review man thanks. How would you compare this to an sl7? Ie for comfort and speed?
Thanks for the review, I was not expecting you to test this bike. Quite a crazy package for this price (4800€). Yet I am more on the gravel side of cycling and not ready to shell out 5k for a bike (yet?). My gravel comes from Intersport (Decathlon's rival, albeit a tad smaller) and has costed me 999€, and it is the most expensive bike I've ever bought. It gives me a lot of fun and I love it.
Congrats for upping your game in terms of video editing and format, keep up the good work!
Why u r not ready to shell 5k for a bike, after all youre saying its a CRAZY price?
@@the.communist I am aware of the prices for this kind of bike with that level of equipment and performance. So I am able to appreciate the offering from Van Rysel here. Which does not induce that I'll buy one even if it would be really doable as I have a Decathlon shop in my small town. (Ignoring availabilty issues)
Great to see you in front of the camera !
Very nice review, very good job.🤝💪
I am myself a more heavy rider 🙂 i am a little bit concerned about the stiffness of the bike... You mentined several times that the bike is stiff... but hwo does it compared from stiffness point of view betwenn a SL7 and a Canyon aeroed ???
Greetings from Germany
Nice one mate. I recommend the Decathlon winter cycling range to use if you don't want mess up your more expensive stuff. The winters are pretty harsh in Berlin and I need N+1 in case it gets super rainy and generally shitty.
I will check it out
Thank you man for this review!
Great video! Looking forward to seeing where you take the channel to next 👌
Let me say that this Van Rysel (Decathlon) bike will quickly be out of stock. In France of course and everywhere.
Best GC video to date!!!! Awesome job buddy👍👍👍👍 That being said, that road is horrifying!! YOUR A BEAST! We should hang out 🤣
Thank you GC for that. Well done. I ride that section once in a while too, live in Miami. Been riding a 2016 Fuji SL 2.1 since 2018. Put some Zipps on and she’s a goer. Tried to up my game with a like new S-works SL7 Red. But it wasn’t any faster than the Fuji. I ride for one hour at 20.5 mph. 62 yo and that’s as fast as I can go. I really tried to make the SL7 go faster than the Fuji. Even put spandex shorts on. Ended up selling it. Just wasn’t impressed. Thought it would be faster. Still want a new all rounder though. The RCR looks pretty sweet. Saw it on stage 4 of the Tour de Romandie today and looked it up. Appreciated your honest take. Sounds like the one for me. 👊
thanks so much for all of that and also yes this bike is super nice
I have a feeling that the partnership will be with Cofidis.
They already have a partnership with them on the kits.
So they already are partners with each other.
I do like that Van Rysel/Decathlon are building more serious bikes now though.
That will give people more options.
So it is a good thing.
They also make a tiny bit lower spec version caller FCR.
partnership made with AG2R for the bikes, set to be confirmed later in the year.
It will be AG2R
Good review nice to see you on the bike 😊
You just may have hacked the entire cycling internet with the truthful and candid nature of this video. Thank you. Hookless though... Unnecessary.
hookless comes spec with the bike, but the overall experience was a nice bike, and I tried to be as transparent as possible with this
Really nice to see Decathlon lunching their TARMAC VAN RYSEL SL7 at a cheap pricing point
Yeah exactly
yeah. if you can buy it. here its so difficult to find it in stock
Nowdays, most bikes look the same.
Love the production! Really refreshing to the earlier iPhone footage :) And f*ck your size, nobody is here to blame you
Interesting departure to the normal videos, would like to see more like this.
Love the production quality matey
I appreciate it
You should do more of these style of reviews. This was great!
I wil try my best to do more of these for sure
😮It's only me or camera work improved?? great video, waiting for more reviews 👍
Awesome new video style. Keep it going !!!
boom! thats how you review bikes!!! another level! good job @gcperformance!!!
Thank you so much!!!
Upping the photography and production game! Decathlon bikes are interesting and the one shown looks slick.
thanks somuuch!!
I'm 69 y.o. your height...a little over 6' only 176 lbs. I think I could hold your wheel in the draft. 🙂
Thanks for the review. Looks to be a nice bike.
PS. as to your position, it looks right to me and I have been riding for decades. Don't believe you need a longer stem or more drop. Body angles look perfect. You have good form on the bike.
yea I made it work on here, the drop was a little high and I went a little lower on the seat then I would prefer, but it worked out great, felt over the cranks and felt comfortable
That price is crazy. Love how the videos keep getting better and better
Yes, 5000 dollars for a bike is madness. U can buy a motorbike for that.
@@the.communistyou can buy a crappy motorbike for that price. Want a motor bike that can race at a high level? You're not gonna get one for under $100k😂
@@veganpottertheveganYeah but you could get a pre-owned fun and fast motorbike to commute on or as a daily ride...I mean it's just silly the prices of bicycles. The principles of them are all the same and haven't changed much in the last 10 years, let alone the last 100.
Price increases year on year by hundreds of £££ due to some minor frame or component tweak that saves .3 of a watt. I'd rather save the money than get the speed savings lmao. It's improvements designed for success in sport competing at the highest level where prestige and money all hang in the balance. Just throwing your money away buying expensive bikes as an amateur rider.
@@statosphereonline2008 and you can get an even cheaper used bicycle without the abhorrent emissions that even fuel efficient mopeds have
I see you have decided to show yourself. You look baller with that gold chain tho... Lol... I hope this is how your future videos will look like. It's really good.
Its doesn't seem to be "confirmed confirmed", but very probable that it will be AG2R. During the Tour Eurosport Germany presented it as a fact. And AG2R will apparently get Decathlon as a Co-Sponsor next year.
I've looked all over for this bike but don't see them available for sale yet? Glad to know it holds up to the chatter.
Can't forgive you got that uneven gap between the stem/bar clamp @2:20 my OCD just wont let me 🤣 sick bike GC. Looks like a solid choice for big/tall riders.Too many good bikes on the horizon right now, we going to get a full review of that winspace bike?
Great content, the bike looks a lot like the Venge
thanks a lot about your video. great bike
Hello friend. Very good review. Im intrestin in buyin this bike but dont know which size choose. Im 5.11 and im thinking about M or L . Which to choose?
Interesting bike. Triban 520 was my first road bike and I did not like the fact that Decathlon provided no support. Their motto was: take it to your bike shop. Well I like working on my bike and my preference would be to get the frameset but i rather doubt decathlon will offer that option for this bike
I have a Triban 500 and Decathlon here in Canada has provided good services. They have an in-house bike shop will a small team of full time mechanics, and provide a full suite of repair and maintenance services. OK, most of the bikes they do maintenance on can be called "leisure bikes" so they probably service a lot less high end road bikes than the average LBS.
I think they are working on this, from the team member I spoke with they are aiming to have beter customer relations, and also retail stores around every area as well, so I can not speak on this first hand but I know they want to get into a bigger market and have better cstomer service
Think also van rysal, across from them, is an aerodynamic facility they used for testing. If I remember from another TH-cam post upon the launch of this bike
yes they are working hand in hand with them to make a nice aero bike, and seems to do a really good job on it
Mate! The production 🎉
Thank you so much for enjoying it!!!
you truly put some work in on that bike!! look at the handlebar tape😭jk
It came like that lol
Excellent video. I would say the medium frame suits you well.
I wouldnt mind this bike if they gacve it to me lol, but if i was too buy a bike I would go 56 and lower the spacers in the front
How’d you film this? Great job.. DJI drone?
Oops, just saw link for videographer.. I’ll check his site. You anywhere near Sarasota, btw?
Interesting bike. Uping the production Grant 👌
That was an awesome video!!! Love A1A 😊
:)) thanks so much!!!
Grant - one question? How many bugs did you get in your eyes?
But - that was super watching you comment (@ just above z2!) on the bike. Good job on finding a camera assistant too!
Haha I got 3 gnats in my eyes no lie
Nice to see the dad bod in full.. just like me 🙂
Really hope you guys will get the cheaper NCR CF model in the US as well. I got mine for 2400 euros with rival etap
Cool ride! what`s the weight of the bike?
I wonder, do you love the look of the bike because it closely resemble the bike you usually sell at your shop?
hahaha alot of bikes look like this design. now this one more then others but yea I do like the this shape of the bike
Hi
Vanrysel waranty is 5 years fot the carbon frame .
Good ride
Very throrough and open, combined with your knowledge. What more could you want ina review.
"Im not your Crit racer, im not your cycling coach" 🤣
The quality looks super crisp + great review 🤝🏼
thank you for this great video
Thank you so much for enjoying it
Just a note did your shoes cat the front wheel in tight turns
maybe you wouldn‘t the bars while being in the drops if you had a longer stem / a bigger size frame?
I'm coming down this peak Hurricane season and attempting to steal every Kom' from Miami to Melbourne.
hell yea!!! come on down
GC Performance, that chain around your neck, is that Shimano, Campy, or SRAM
ceramicspeed ;)
It's interesting you say the flex is almost none coming from a big man that's awesome
yes it is very stiff bike i really enjoy this bike
how would you compare this to the elves falath evo?
Looks like a SL7. More shops should be doing reviews like yours.
Thank you very much!!!
you upped your game!
Thank you thank you!!
Hi, can you tell me how the bike handles on fast down hills. Is it estable.
Is nice bike dont get me wrong but if you really want spend that crazy amount of money for road bike , for 7000$ if you properly search and buy frame , parts separately you can built bike with dura ace or sram red with decent wheels (hooked) on it . Nice video by the way.
Cam guy is fast too! 😂
Ebike recording
Decathlon is our goto sports store in Europe particularly in France. They have a reputation for creating own in house brands and products. Normally very good price quality. For the high end bikes the issue is imo mostly snob value as there is limited resale market due to roadies buying mainstream brands.
All road racing bikes frame designs now are the result of computer calculations, so they all almost look the same, and with the same other components, give almost similar ride feeling. I’ve ridden some of my friends’ road bike, aside from groupset, I couldn’t tell the difference of ride feeling between those bikes. So, if you wonder which bike brand you should choose, pick the one you like the most, either your budget, favorite brand, or the most beautiful looking frame / paint according to you.
The problem with Van Rysel is they are not available in all the countries, and even if they do, it’s extremely hard to get one.
yea I think they are working to get that way
My local Decathlon is by an IKEA and a Costco. It's a great day out for the family 👪😂
Mr GC, “HI” from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺. The bod looks fine to me mate. Some riders look like they were born on a bike and some look like they’re giving birth to a bike. I am the latter 😂 but no one can beat me downhill, NO ONE!!
Hahahaa I love it!!!
@@GCPerformance18 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
In europe , it's not the only model, they have a lot of models !
Whats your height and inseam again?
Wow do you have a production team now? Reminds me of a David Arthur video
just a really good guuy who helps me out
Never in stock here in europe. Looks nice though.
Dude...don't apologize for having a real Man size bod. Use rode bike riders come in all shapes and sizes. Keep up the awesome content!
BTW...#2! not as good as first but I'll take sloppy seconds.
:) thanks so much friend!! I appreciate that, hard sometimes to for me to see myself on a bike and compare it to the racers we see on the screen.....
Good review, thanks! :)
Would you personally go for the Rival model (Rival, Zipp 303S) for 4200€ or the one you tested (Force, Zipp 404 Firecrest) for 4800€?
all day the force, the force is a nicer group and also a nicer power meter and the wheels are much nicer, I dont get how the price is not thaat much different the force model is the way better buy
@@GCPerformance18 Thank you, appreciate it! I hope the Force model is available soon.
Guess I'm the only one who prefers his old style of telling you the edit without actually doing the edit. OG GC.
:) this comments makes me feel good lol those are more to come, once more bikes come out
🔥bike, 🔥 review
Looks like a rebranded S-Works Tarmac SL7 to me... :D
