New Van Rysel aluminium frame (AF) with variable thickness to lighten the frame as much as possible. Aluminium is the perfect material for getting a good balance of propulsion and comfort. The frame has an endurance geometry (EDR) which allows you to tackle long distances with maximum comfort. We have chosen to leave the cables on the outside of the frame for easier maintenance and replacement of cables and housings. The frame is UCI-approved
