The Van Rysel RCR-X Tri Ultegra Di2 Bike is Van Rysel's first dedicated triathlon platform, and the development story behind it sets appropriate expectations. Built in collaboration with Swiss Side — the aerodynamic engineering firm behind some of the most wind-tunnel-validated equipment in professional cycling — the RCR-X Tri progressed through 14 prototypes before reaching production. Two-time European Ironman champion Denis Chevrot contributed to the design process. At $8,499, the resulting bike ships with Swiss Side Hadron² wheels, Shimano Ultegra Di2 shifting, Dura-Ace TT levers, an integrated power meter, and a purpose-built nutrition and storage system — a specification that consistently outpaces what competing brands offer at this price point.

The frame is 100% high-modulus carbon fiber, developed with stiffness targets that reflect the specific demands of long-distance triathlon. Measured stiffness is 225 N/mm at the bottom bracket and 151 N/mm at the head tube — figures that translate to efficient power transfer during sustained efforts and stability in the aero position over Ironman-length distances. The RCR-X Carbon fork was refined through the same CFD and wind tunnel development as the frame itself. In head-to-head wind tunnel testing at 45 km/h, the XCR Tri saved 3.4 watts compared to the fastest competing triathlon bike tested when both ran 80mm front and rear wheels — a margin that accumulates meaningfully across a 180-kilometer bike leg.

Geometry is designed around the demands of long-course triathlon racing. A 79° seat tube angle positions the rider aggressively over the pedals — loading the posterior chain efficiently for power output while preserving the hip flexors for the run. Reach measurements of 380mm (XS) to 444mm (XL) paired with low stack heights place the rider in a competitive aero extension without requiring extreme flexibility. The Van Rysel carbon aerobar and base bar system provides meaningful stack and reach adjustability via spacers, and the two-screw platform attachment simplifies disassembly for travel.

The drivetrain is a deliberate mixed specification. Shimano Dura-Ace R9180 TT/tri levers handle shifting from the aero extensions — the top-tier choice for triathlon ergonomics and tactile precision — while Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8150 derailleurs manage the 52/36 chainrings and 11-34T 12-speed cassette. The Shimano Ultegra R8100 crankset includes an integrated power meter, a tool central to pacing long-course triathlon and typically an additional purchase at this price level. Shimano Ultegra R8170 hydraulic disc brakes handle stopping front and rear.

The wheel specification is among the most compelling aspects of this build. Swiss Side Hadron² Ultimate wheels ship with the bike — a 625 (62.5mm depth) at the front for crosswind manageability and an 800 (80mm depth) at the rear for maximum aerodynamic efficiency. This asymmetric pairing is the same strategy used by professional triathletes at championship distances. Continental Aero 111 TLR 700x26 runs up front; Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR 700x28 at the rear — a tire combination optimized for both rolling resistance and aerodynamics. The frame's integrated storage system covers race-day nutrition logistics: a bento box holds up to six gels, a toolbox above the bottom bracket stows a flat repair kit, a trash box handles wrapper disposal, and two bottle mounts position hydration between the aerobars and behind the saddle.

Design Benefits

  1. Swiss Side co-development across 14 prototypes: CFD and wind tunnel refinement delivered a verified 3.4-watt aerodynamic advantage over the fastest competing triathlon bike tested at 45 km/h — a margin that compounds over long-course race distances.
  2. High-modulus carbon stiffness targets: 225 N/mm at the bottom bracket and 151 N/mm at the head tube translate sustained power efficiently and keep the front end stable during deep-position efforts at race speed.
  3. Asymmetric Swiss Side Hadron² wheel pairing: 62.5mm front and 80mm rear depths balance crosswind stability with maximum aerodynamic efficiency — the same wheel strategy used by professional triathletes at championship distances.
  4. Integrated power meter included: The Shimano Ultegra R8100 crankset ships with a built-in power meter — essential for long-course pacing and included in the base build at no additional cost.
  5. Purpose-built race-day storage: Bento box, toolbox, trash box, and two bottle mounts are integrated into the frame, eliminating aerodynamically costly external add-ons while covering nutrition and mechanical needs for six-plus hours of racing.

Final Take

The Van Rysel RCR-X Tri Ultegra Di2 is one of the most completely specified triathlon bikes at this price. Swiss Side race wheels, an integrated power meter, hydraulic disc brakes, and a full race-day storage system are typically separate purchases on competing bikes in this category — here they're part of the standard build. For athletes targeting their first long-course race or upgrading from an entry-level triathlon platform, the RCR-X Tri delivers serious hardware without requiring a second round of component investment after purchase.

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

Ok so I never write reviews but this book was so good I felt the need to write this. Firstly your introduced to Huntyr you see her closed off hard core badass than towards the end you see the most subtle change and growth it’s amazing and the enemies to friends to lovers was just perfect, AND THE TWIST AT THE END GOT ME GOOD! You see one spicy scene the whole book but it doesn’t even MATTER BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. I’ve read 85 books in 2023-2024 so far and I’m pround to say this is my all time favorite. I’m so excited to read more of Emily Blackwoods books, this was my first time reading one of hers and I’m glad I did because HOLY!! Well done Emily well done

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!
