The Van Rysel EDR CF Ultra is an ultra-ready machine with comfortable geometry and a lightweight frame, but what really sets it apart are the details: 38mm tyre clearance, clean dynamo routing up front, and all the mounts you need for a big day out.

And then there’s the special race build from ultra-endurance rider, Victor Bouscavet – aero bars for multiple hand positions, a magnetic hydration mount for rough descents, battery lighting for "short" 1,000km races, and full frame bags.

Watch the video above for all of the juicy details!

Jack Luke is the digital editor at BikeRadar and has been utterly obsessed with riding and bike tech for his whole life. Jack can primarily be found whizzing about at a moderate pace on his array of road bikes from his home in Bristol, but his greatest passion is for cycle touring, bikepacking and ill-advised gravel-flavoured long-distance hike-a-bike-peppered adventures. Jack is also interested in fixed-gear bikes, tandems and anything else that’s a wee bit weird. With a near-encyclopedic knowledge of cycling tech – ranging from the most esoteric retro niche to the most cutting-edge modern kit – Jack takes pride in seeking out stories that would otherwise go unreported. After years spent working in bike shops, and as a photography technician and tutor, Jack joined BikeRadar in 2016. He’s now responsible for shaping the overall output of BikeRadar, editing, planning and – when he gets the chance – writing content for the site.
