While the RCR-G is designed for gravel racing, the EDR-G is a gravel adventure bike, designed for endurance gravel rides.<\/p>\n<p>The RCR-G takes tech from the RCR-R road bike, with a racy position and aero frameset, and pairs it with 50mm tyre clearance. It&#8217;s priced from \u00a33,000 \/ $5,299.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-b43c25da-99a0-11f1-aa67-7539280ea976-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The EDR-G is taller and slacker and has the mounts and in-frame storage for gravel exploration and ultra-distance riding. The top spec has a 40mm travel suspension fork, while prices start at \u00a32,100.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand\">Cyclingnews<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"rcr-g-gravel-race-bike-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">RCR-G gravel race bike<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-ccc5f1b6-99a6-11f1-8dff-dd9f16f376c9\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2FKfMYiLw3qM9AWgzrQRmS-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2FKfMYiLw3qM9AWgzrQRmS-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2FKfMYiLw3qM9AWgzrQRmS-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2FKfMYiLw3qM9AWgzrQRmS-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2FKfMYiLw3qM9AWgzrQRmS-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2FKfMYiLw3qM9AWgzrQRmS-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The top RCR-G spec is fitted with the same cockpit as the RCR-R road bike <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Van Rysel)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-b43c274c-99a0-11f1-bbd1-25e63a8de1c5\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Van Rysel has worked with its sponsored Decathlon-CMA CGM team to develop its gravel race bike, which it says is inspired by the RCR-R Pro road bike.
