The Van Rysel RCR-X Tri Ultegra Di2 Bike is Van Rysel's first dedicated triathlon platform, and the development story behind it sets appropriate expectations. Built in collaboration with Swiss Side — the aerodynamic engineering firm behind some of the most wind-tunnel-validated equipment in professional cycling — the RCR-X Tri progressed through 14 prototypes before reaching production. Two-time European Ironman champion Denis Chevrot contributed to the design process. At $8,499, the resulting bike ships with Swiss Side Hadron² wheels, Shimano Ultegra Di2 shifting, Dura-Ace TT levers, an integrated power meter, and a purpose-built nutrition and storage system — a specification that consistently outpaces what competing brands offer at this price point.

The frame is 100% high-modulus carbon fiber, developed with stiffness targets that reflect the specific demands of long-distance triathlon. Measured stiffness is 225 N/mm at the bottom bracket and 151 N/mm at the head tube — figures that translate to efficient power transfer during sustained efforts and stability in the aero position over Ironman-length distances. The RCR-X Carbon fork was refined through the same CFD and wind tunnel development as the frame itself. In head-to-head wind tunnel testing at 45 km/h, the XCR Tri saved 3.4 watts compared to the fastest competing triathlon bike tested when both ran 80mm front and rear wheels — a margin that accumulates meaningfully across a 180-kilometer bike leg.

Geometry is designed around the demands of long-course triathlon racing. A 79° seat tube angle positions the rider aggressively over the pedals — loading the posterior chain efficiently for power output while preserving the hip flexors for the run. Reach measurements of 380mm (XS) to 444mm (XL) paired with low stack heights place the rider in a competitive aero extension without requiring extreme flexibility. The Van Rysel carbon aerobar and base bar system provides meaningful stack and reach adjustability via spacers, and the two-screw platform attachment simplifies disassembly for travel.

The drivetrain is a deliberate mixed specification. Shimano Dura-Ace R9180 TT/tri levers handle shifting from the aero extensions — the top-tier choice for triathlon ergonomics and tactile precision — while Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8150 derailleurs manage the 52/36 chainrings and 11-34T 12-speed cassette. The Shimano Ultegra R8100 crankset includes an integrated power meter, a tool central to pacing long-course triathlon and typically an additional purchase at this price level. Shimano Ultegra R8170 hydraulic disc brakes handle stopping front and rear.

The wheel specification is among the most compelling aspects of this build. Swiss Side Hadron² Ultimate wheels ship with the bike — a 625 (62.5mm depth) at the front for crosswind manageability and an 800 (80mm depth) at the rear for maximum aerodynamic efficiency. This asymmetric pairing is the same strategy used by professional triathletes at championship distances. Continental Aero 111 TLR 700x26 runs up front; Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR 700x28 at the rear — a tire combination optimized for both rolling resistance and aerodynamics. The frame's integrated storage system covers race-day nutrition logistics: a bento box holds up to six gels, a toolbox above the bottom bracket stows a flat repair kit, a trash box handles wrapper disposal, and two bottle mounts position hydration between the aerobars and behind the saddle.

Design Benefits

  1. Swiss Side co-development across 14 prototypes: CFD and wind tunnel refinement delivered a verified 3.4-watt aerodynamic advantage over the fastest competing triathlon bike tested at 45 km/h — a margin that compounds over long-course race distances.
  2. High-modulus carbon stiffness targets: 225 N/mm at the bottom bracket and 151 N/mm at the head tube translate sustained power efficiently and keep the front end stable during deep-position efforts at race speed.
  3. Asymmetric Swiss Side Hadron² wheel pairing: 62.5mm front and 80mm rear depths balance crosswind stability with maximum aerodynamic efficiency — the same wheel strategy used by professional triathletes at championship distances.
  4. Integrated power meter included: The Shimano Ultegra R8100 crankset ships with a built-in power meter — essential for long-course pacing and included in the base build at no additional cost.
  5. Purpose-built race-day storage: Bento box, toolbox, trash box, and two bottle mounts are integrated into the frame, eliminating aerodynamically costly external add-ons while covering nutrition and mechanical needs for six-plus hours of racing.

Final Take

The Van Rysel RCR-X Tri Ultegra Di2 is one of the most completely specified triathlon bikes at this price. Swiss Side race wheels, an integrated power meter, hydraulic disc brakes, and a full race-day storage system are typically separate purchases on competing bikes in this category — here they're part of the standard build. For athletes targeting their first long-course race or upgrading from an entry-level triathlon platform, the RCR-X Tri delivers serious hardware without requiring a second round of component investment after purchase.

Audiobook conveys message even better than author’s eloquent, precise words in a book
Format: Audiobook, Format: Audiobook
Target audience: non-narcissistic people who have been adversely impacted by pathologically narcissistic individuals. “It’s Not You” is one of those books where the audiobook *greatly* enhances, optimizes & completes the reader’s understanding of the author’s message & information. Read-by-the-author audiobooks have the advantage of having emphases & nuances conveyed as the author intended. And this author verbal communication is highly nuanced & expressive. Ramani Durvasula not only has the credentials, depth of experience & cohesive understanding of pathologies of the human psyche, especially Axis II conditions, she has the rare combination of experience & competency to diagnose & treat both: 1) a) pathological individuals w/narcissistic thought & behavior patterns &/or b) NPD patients meeting diagnostic criteria (“treat” includes attenuate, not necessarily “cure”, esp conditions w/ poor prognosis) 2) those adversely impacted by the damage inflicted on people in the pathological individual’s lives. At the risk of being repetitive, this book is aimed at the 2nd population. In online spaces, Durvasula has been criticized by the 1st population, which is to be expected. Combating, destroying ANY *perceived* criticism is an *expected* part of narcissistic pathology (as well as avoidantly attached individuals, many of whom are also narcissistic). This book is an excellent companion to the solid, publicly accessible online via her videos (free) as well as the modestly priced online healing program. Finding good resources to help those affected by the pathological narcissist is an incredibly challenging task. Rare are the “counselors”, “therapists” & other resources who can truly help make genuine, sustainable substantial headway on the task of recovering from adverse impacts inflicted by pathological narcissists. Ramani Durvasula’s resources are the opposite - practically makes up for wasted time & resources “auditioning” ineffective therapists, reading books, attending group therapies etc. While my personal tool kit for recovery is evolving (as is the science), Durvasula’s material, including “It’s Not You” is a permanent part of my tool kit. As of Nov 2024, additional & complementary resources I’ve found helpful: - “It’s Not You” is a well complemented by: Peter Solerno’s Aug 2024 The Nature and Nurture of Narcissism: Understanding Narcissistic Personality Disorder from the Perspective of Gene - Environment Interaction, a book I purchased for the citations/bibliography & have been delightfully surprised by the writing. . . Solerno & Durvasula are stylistic different in their delivery. I sincerely appreciate both. - Work & online material of Les Carter. - Jackson MacKenzie’s books RIP

Healing from a narcissistic organization/ family member
Format: Hardcover
Dr. Ramani does a excellent job helping victims of narcissistic relationships in this book. As a brown male who was part of an organization and had a family member who had narcissistic tendencies, I needed help returning back to myself. This book helped in every way to become free and heal from these relationships, and not return back to those types of relationships. Thanks for writing this book, Dr Ramani!

Detailed Window to Narcissism
Format: Kindle
This book answered a lot of questions I had about narcissism. I have been on the fence about labeling a certain person in my life as a narcissist, but this book helped me recognize the behaviors that I have seen in this person in my life. I agree with a lot of the author's thoughts about how narcissism effects the people that are hurt by this disorder, but I did not agree in her belief about forgiveness in the matter of dealing with a narcissist. Forgiveness is a hard thing to practice but It does set you free from the heavy things that way a person down. It was also sad to accept the belief that narcissists will never change but in my heart, I believe that it is true. I appreciated her style of writing this book. At times it felt like the author was sitting in my living room and talking directly to me. I also liked how the author explained certain psychological terms in a way that most people could understand. I have read other books on narcissism, but I think this book gave me the best definitions and examples of this hurtful and destructive disorder.

very important book
Format: Kindle
If you are a victim of narcissistic abuse, It’s Not You could be a revolutionary, transformative, healing read. I just finished it and feel a deep gratitude to Ramani Durvasula, PhD for dedicating her life to sharing, as she calls it, “the story of the lion” not the hunter.
