The Decathlon-AG2R team finally unveiled Van Rysel's new pneumatic car, the FCR, for the first time in the second stage of the Tour de France. Both Sam Bennett and Oliver Nathan used the new car on Stage 2, however, its big debut is likely to be on the flat track of Stage 3.
There are no details yet on when the new car will be launched, and there is not even an official comment, so let's take a closer look at the new car.
In the growing trend of "all-around race road bikes", the new Van Rysel FCR is clearly a pure pneumatic car. The entire car features large, aerodynamic thick tubes, riser cutouts, wide chainstays, forks and seat tubes, and the most aerodynamic stem washers ever seen in a long time (probably ever).
The new car inherited the FCR name. Although as early as 22 years, Van Rysel showed the current FCR ("More than Urdicathlon Road Bike New Product Launch") at the press conference, but because it was not officially launched in the mainland market, its presence was relatively low.
From this point of view, the FCR's stout tube shape is very noticeable. The fork shoulders are not as flared as the RCR.
The headtube styling doesn't seem too narrow, which is often a key indicator of the aerodynamics of the entire frame. But there are exceptions to everything, because...
It may actually look narrow enough because of the smoky camouflage livery. In addition, its leading edge appears to be slightly profiled, potentially reducing the high-pressure zone at the front of the head tube. Finally, take a look at the back part of the head tube. Van Rysel has clearly put some thought and testing into the design of this frame.
In the memory of a Western journalist, the handlebar washer of the new car was the longest and sharpest he had ever seen.
Also impressive is the new one-piece handlebar, which has a very wide upper handlebar shape and a drop-shaped section on the bottom.
However, the fork shape is still relatively normal in front of the pile of "dragon slayer" general pneumatic forks.
In front of those huge pneumatic bottom bracket shapes, the bottom bracket also doesn't seem so big. The BB86 specification is still used.

FCR的座管显然比后面RCR的更黑更粗。
The FCR's riser styling is similar to that of the RCR, but it is noticeably much "fatter".
