It’s an impressively light bike for the money with good kit, but some spec choices and relatively old-school geometry make it less versatile than some of the competition.
Van Rysel EDR CF frameset
The EDR CF’s frameset is full carbon and sports a handsome gold-fade paint-job that gives the bike a premium feel belying its price-tag.
Claimed weights are 1,020g for the frame and 340g for the fork (including paint), again very respectable numbers for a bike in this price bracket, where much of the competition features significantly heavier aluminium frames.
The overall shape of the bike is quite traditional, with a gently sloping top tube and no dropped seatstays.

With options to suit a range of budgets, GRX mechanical offers dependable performance and useful compatibility with Shimano’s road drivetrains.
GRX isn’t exactly one single groupset in its own right, but rather it’s a range of components that sits alongside Shimano’s road groupsets. There aren’t GRX equivalents for every road component at every level, so GRX-equipped bikes will often mix different levels of components.
As a reminder, the GRX naming system works like this:
RX400 series: 10-speed Tiagra-equivalent
RX800 series: 11-speed Ultegra-equivalent with mechanical and Di2 variants
This review will focus on more-or-less the cheapest possible 2×11-speed mechanical setup with RX600 levers, but I’ll discuss the alternatives, and why you might consider going up or down the range.
