Van Rysel RCR
Racers who want Van Rysel. EDR if you need stack.
Van Rysel's race road bike — the WorldTour-adjacent Decathlon racer. Low, stiff, and surprisingly close to a Tarmac-class stack/reach if you size carefully.

Van Rysel's race road bike — the WorldTour-adjacent Decathlon racer. Low, stiff, and surprisingly close to a Tarmac-class stack/reach if you size carefully.
Fast road riders who want Orbea aero. Orca if you care more about weight.
Aero Orbea race bike. Deeper tubes than Orca, same size run so many riders can twin the two on stack/reach.
Racers who want BMC aero without a full time-trial bike.
The aero-leaning Teammachine. Race position with more wind-cheating than SLR. New in the mid-2020s catalog window.
Racers who like Cannondale's handling and want the serviceable frame. Synapse is the taller sibling; SuperX is the CX/gravel race cousin.
The fourth-generation EVO keeps the third generation's geometry but goes lighter, slipperier, and back to a threaded BSA bottom bracket. Same fit as the 2020–2022 bike, easier to live with.
