With the Van Rysel E-EDR AF APEX, Decathlon is further expanding its range of electric bikes with, for the first time, an ultra-light model intended for the road. Available in two versions, men’s and women’s, it is particularly well equipped. Offered at a very aggressive price, around €600 cheaper than equivalent models from other brands, and with a maximum range of 160 km; it should particularly appeal to lovers of long walks.
Mountain bike, longtail, cargo… Decathlon continues to expand its range of electrically assisted bicycles. The latest addition, under the Van Rysel brand, the E-EDR APEX electric road bike has all the ingredients of the success of its predecessors: quality equipment, a very competitive price and the no-surprise guarantee offered by the Decathlon network. throughout the territory.
This electric road bike has a range of 160 km
Offered in two different versions, men’s and women’s, these differing only in a few variations, the new electric road bike offered by Decathlon is particularly light. It manages to stay under 14 kg thanks to its aluminum frame and equipment chosen for their weight/performance/price ratio.
The fixed battery is fully charged in 5 hours
First of all, on the propulsion side. The Mahle X35 motor is housed in the rear wheel. It benefits from three assistance modes. It is connected to the BC900 GPS computer (pairable to the Decathlon Connect application) which will provide you with all the information necessary for its management. The non-removable 250 W/h battery will give you a range of up to 100 km, or even 160 km if you use the extender. Optional, this external battery connects to the main battery from the start of the outing and supplies it as it discharges.
The electric road Van Rysel has been tested for six months
We know that the range announced by electric bike manufacturers is sometimes very optimistic. But in the case of this electric Van Rysel, Decathlon has chosen transparency and precision. A panel of testers rode for more than six months in different conditions of elevation, temperature but also with different levels of assistance to test the real capabilities of this electric road bike.
In the end, this gives, in the model presentation sheet, driving profiles which will allow you to assess the suitability of the Van Rysel E-EDR AF APEX with your own uses.
Are you like Marc, a heavy driver (8,000 km/year)? Plan for 120 km of autonomy on a route with an elevation gain of 1,000 meters achieved at an average of 24.7 km/h using levels 1 or 2 of assistance. Are you more like Sandrine, an occasional cycle tourist (2000 km/year) who lives in the mountains? Count on 65 km of autonomy with the help of the extender, on a journey accumulating 1,600 meters of positive altitude difference permanently supported by level 3 of electrical assistance.
An electric road bike at a very attractive price
On the road, the electric road Van Rysel is comfortable and versatile. With less than 14 kg on the scale, a 100% carbon fork and an endurance-style aluminum frame, it is agile and lively (liveliness being directly correlated to that of the cyclist). Well served by its SRAM APEX 12S single chainring transmission, it is very easy to use. In addition to the weight saving offered by this configuration, the 12-speed cassette is particularly interesting whatever the driving conditions.
On the braking side, the SRAM APEX hydraulic disc brakes, with 160 mm discs at the front and rear, live up to the ambitions of this versatile road e-bike. Combined with 32 mm wide tires, they offer more progressive and more powerful braking than hydromechanical brakes, and therefore an immediate feeling of security.
Available in different frame sizes, this road bike will adapt to all body types.
Priced at €2,800 in its two versions, Decathlon’s new electric road bike is ultimately very attractive. Offered 500 or 600 € cheaper than other major brands, with equivalent performance and equipment. This is an opportunity for road cyclists who want a versatile, yet high-performance model.
