Decathlon sells many bicycles, but it’s clear they’re not satisfied with that: they’ve taken their star model in the road e-bikes line, one designed by the popular Van Rysel brand, and applied an unusual price cut—going from 2,799 euros (which was already a good price) to just 1,540 euros for the Van Rysel E-EDR AF Apex AXS.
In fact, it’s quite difficult to find a non-motorized road bike with the same level of equipment as this E-EDR AF at that price, which adds even more value to Decathlon’s move...
High-quality frame and motor
The frame is made of aluminum, with highly refined finishes that elevate the perceived quality of this E-EDR AF Apex AXS above the 2,799 euro mark.... so now, at 1,540 euros, this bike is a true luxury. The fork, on the other hand, is constructed from carbon fiber and features a unique trait: since it was also designed for the gravel model, threads have been included to secure bikepacking equipment, giving this bike much greater versatility than any other road model.
The engine is a Mahle X35 wheel hub motor, with power suitable for lightweight models (40 Nm), and the advantage is that thanks to the brand’s app, we can make adjustments to the different power delivery modes.
The battery has a capacity of 250 Wh and, according to the manufacturer, can provide up to 100 km of range in optimal conditions. This E-EDR AF Apex AXS comes equipped with Decathlon’s BC900 display, a comprehensive cycle computer (with mileage counter, GPS, etc.) that can interact with the bike to show information about battery status or the selected power delivery mode. Incidentally, the compact motor, limited battery capacity, and well-designed frame contribute to the Van Rysel E-EDR AF Apex AXS weighing only 14 kg (in size M).
Electronic transmission
The rest of the components are quite basic, which is typical for a bike aimed at introducing people to the e-road world. The brakes are hydraulic and manufactured by SRAM itself, but the wheels are aluminum ones from Decathlon, as are other components such as the saddle, fork, handlebars, and drivetrain. In short, it’s a bike without any major flaws (especially for 1,540 euros). Well, one flaw we can point out: it’s a stock model, so sizes might be running low, meaning you need to act quickly.
