2024 Van Rysel FCR Ultegra Di2 test review Build quality
The Van Rysel FCR Ultegra Di2 2024 has a good overall build quality, the frame is well made, the availability of sizes is decent, while it is a shame that the color range is really limited, as are the assemblies.
2024 Van Rysel FCR Ultegra Di2 test review Frame
The Van Rysel FCR Ultegra Di2 22024 has a nice frame where everything is well made, such as the new aerobar, the internal cable routing.
The weight of the frame, with the Shimano Ultegra Di2 assembly, is around 8.0 kg, not a little in absolute terms, in line with the price of the bike.
Ultimately the quality/price/weight ratio is good, but it's not all the bargain it may seem at first glance...
However, its "scenic effect" is assured...
2024 Van Rysel FCR Ultegra Di2 test review Assemblies
The Va Rysel range allows everyone, or almost everyone, to have access to the Van Rysel FCR Ultegra Di2 2024.
The build quality is good.
2024 Van Rysel FCR Ultegra Di2 test review Comfort
Ride comfort is one of the aspects in which the Van Rysel FCR Ultegra Di2 2024 can be considered a valid racing bike.
It's not a granfondo bike, but compared to other aero bikes it's a bike you can ride for a long time without major problems.
It clearly remains a stiff and uncomfortable bike in absolute terms, but nothing compared to other competitors.
2024 Van Rysel FCR Ultegra Di2 test review Guide
The Van Rysel FCR Ultegra Di2 2024 is a high performance bike.
Light enough, comfortable, it is also easy to ride, not very nervous, always easy to handle, but precise, easy to ride on bumpy roads and downhill.
Also easier to manage when braking.
In short, a frame that is very easy to use, in all conditions.
2024 Van Rysel FCR Ultegra Di2 test review Performance
The new Van Rysel FCR Ultegra Di2 2024 is undoubtedly a high performance bike, rigid, aerodynamic, perhaps not very light.
Excellent performance on plains and hills.
Very good even uphill.
It's clearly not a pure climbing bike, but it holds up well.
As an aero bike it is less rigid than other competitors, but more versatile.
We don't see it as ideal as a frame for a gran Fondo made by an enthusiast.
Downhill, nothing to say, it goes very fast.
An aero bike slightly different from the main competitors, less rigid, but safe and comfortable.
It loses something in terms of flatness, but gains it in comfort.
It can be an ideal choice in races with a lot of flat terrain and some difficult climbs, on these routes it is very competitive.
2024 Van Rysel FCR Ultegra Di2 test review Pros and cons
The 2024 Van Rysel FCR Ultegra Di2 has proven to be a competitive and well-intended aero racing bike.
It goes very well in long races, with a lot of flat terrain, but also with some nice climbs.
On these routes it is a competitive racing bike, combining excellent performance on the flat with good performance uphill.
Good ride comfort for the type of bike.
The versatility of use is valid, it is not just a flat bike.
The defect? It doesn't weigh much and in the end, for what it weighs, it doesn't cost much either.
It has valid performance, but in line with other competitors of similar weight and slightly higher price.
In the end the price advantage diminishes considerably.
In the end it is not the fastest aero bike, nor the lightest ever.
A compromise that may satisfy many, but be a disappointment to many others.
