Decathlon’s Van Rysel product line offers everything from full road bikes to cycling accessories to help you take your fitness or performance goals to the next level. In this review we’ll specifically be looking at the mid-tier Van Rysel RoadR 520 road cycling shoes. With a retail price of only $149 the Van Rysel RoadR 520 shoes offer a composite carbon sole and single ATOP dial closure system. Decathlon markets the shoes toward “regular cyclists looking for excellent support without the rigidity of a full carbon sole.” The Van Rysel 520 shoes are only offered in a sleek black color with ventilated upper and sole to help air cycle through. One of the unique features of the shoes is the fact that they are also dual-cleat compatible with holes for both 2 bolt cleats such as Shimano SPD and popular 3 bolt cleats like Shimano SPD-SL or Look Keo setups.
The Decathlon Van Rysel RoadR 520 road cycling shoes are mid-tier cycling shoes that combine an affordable price point with a dial closure system. Currently, Decathlon only offers the shoes in a single black color with minimal white Van Rysel logos along the sides. While the color choice may lack the pop found on shoes like the DMT KR0, the black color scheme looks high-end and pairs well with nearly any cycling kit. You’ll also find a vertical reflective stripe on the back for additional nighttime visibility. The upper material is listed as a Polyurethane and Polyester blend with a perforated front section and smooth rear. It’s a soft and flexible construction that can stretch around your feet. There is additional built-in structure for the toe and heel cup to provide more support and rigidity while pedaling.
In terms of the closure system, the Van Rysel RoadR 520 has a single ATOP dial with a bottom Velcro strap. The ATOP dial is the more affordable variation of BOA dials and offers the same micro tightening adjustment system. The main difference between the dial designs is that the ATOP dial can’t be pulled to release tension, instead you rotate it to do a full tension release. While it’s not quite as sleek as the current generation BOA Li2 dials with micro-loosening capabilities, the dial is easy to operate with a nice textured finish. The cable is routed through two levels to adjust the upper fit while a separate Velcro strap on the bottom can be used to fine tune the fit. In practice, we’ve found the Velcro strap to have little effect on the fit which is why some shoes like the DMT KR3 shoes have eliminated them entirely.
