Power and versatility are two inspiring elements every cycling enthusiast looks out for in electric gravel bikes. Combining these features, the new Decathlon Van Rysel E-GRVL AF MD e-bike has entered the market, bringing another level of efficiency to the electric gravel bike range. This exciting addition was introduced at the Velofollies event, sitting along with other models.
The Decathlon Van Rysel E-GRVL AF MD is designed to appeal to those seeking robust performance and adaptability. It comes equipped with a mid-mounted 250W Brose Drive T Mag motor that offers a commendable torque of up to 70Nm. This power is managed through four select modes that riders can adjust via handlebar controls, allowing for a personalized and comfortable ride.
When it comes to distance, the 500Wh battery won’t disappoint. It promises to power your journey with assistance for up to 150 km (approximately 240 miles), ensuring you have enough support for even the most ambitious rides.
Decathlon’s commitment to versatility shines with the bike’s thoughtful pairing of DT Swiss HG 1800 Spline wheels and Michelin Power Gravel tires measuring 700×47. This combination secures both reliability and comfort across various terrains. And with an SRAM Apex 12-speed groupset, transitions between gears are smooth, providing an optimum biking experience.
Additional attributes that add to the bike’s appeal include integrated front and rear lights, enhancing visibility and safety. For long-distance riders, there’s an optional range extender battery to push the boundaries even further. Plus, the e-bike features a color TFT display for easy monitoring of your ride stats, and Bluetooth connectivity is available for syncing with the Decathlon Ride app, offering valuable journey insights.
The e-bike’s structure is built for a range of cyclists, with its 6061 aluminum frame and carbon fork, and is set to be available in seven sizes. As of now, sizes ranging from XS to L are accessible for purchase, with availability varying in different regions. The medium-sized model has a manageable weight of around 18 kg (approximately 40 lbs), favorable for both transportation and maneuverability.

While slightly more costly in the Netherlands at €3,549.99, it is also listed for £3,499.99 in the UK, though at the time of publishing it is out of stock in this region.
