How it started.
“Develop a faster and more aerodynamic time trial bike than the competition!”
This short target was the project brief from our colleagues at Van Rysel, setting a clear but ambitious goal.

Van Rysel XCR
Using Swiss Side’s proven development approach, rooted in Formula One motorsport and fine-tuned with yearlong experience in cycling aerodynamics, with profound Computational Fluid Dynamics studies (CFD-simulation), stiffness-to-weight simulations (FE-simulation) as well as wind tunnel testing, it was ensured that all aspects of bike performance were met. With Swiss Side’s promise to deliver real world performance, the Van Rysel XCR was designed having the world's fastest UCI time trialists in mind, whilst in parallel providing an uncompromised platform for a triathlon version.
The XCR triathlon bike is the result of an outstanding partnership. It is the culmination of our expertise at Swiss Side, developed in partnership with Van Rysel to redefine what's possible in triathlon bike performance. It represents the ultimate fusion of aerodynamics, engineering mastery, and passion for speed.Together with Van Rysel’s engineers, we set out to craft a bike that delivers unparalleled performance to every athlete who rides it - not only Denis Chevrot, 2-times winner of the IM European Championship.
Based on rigorous internal and external testing, the XCR stands among the most aerodynamic bikes in its category, making it an unforgettable experience on every ride.
