Van Rysel has rapidly evolved from a low-cost brand to a legitimate performance cycling entity, sponsoring a WorldTour team and launching high-end bikes like the new RCR-F. This bike is specifically designed for aerodynamics, showcasing the industry's shift back to specialized models. After a thorough test of the RCR-F alongside its predecessor, the author found it to be superior in execution, although its extreme geometry could deter recreational cyclists, thus positioning it primarily for professional use.

In the last three years, Van Rysel has gone from an unknown brand to sponsoring a WorldTour squad and launching a second top-end road bike.
The RCR-F has been tested in races and is designed as an out-and-out aero bike, distancing itself from the previous 'one bike to rule them all' approach.
I believe the RCR-F is a better bike than its predecessor, but its low front end may restrict its market appeal.
