Decathlon has unveiled three Van Rysel electric gravel bike models: the E-GRVL AF MD, the E-GRVL AF X30 and the E-GRVL AF X35. While the E-GRVL AF MD features a mid-drive Brose motor with 70 Nm torque, the E-GRVL AF X30 and X35 bicycles use 35Nm Mahle motors. Plus, one model is particularly light at 30.8 lbs (~14.0 kg).

Decathlon has recently revealed a new electric gravel bike, the Van Rysel E-GRVL AF MD at the Velofollies. The gravel e-bike also appears in a catalogue detailing models from various Decathlon brands, which will arrive in the US this year.

The E-GRVL AF MD is powered by a Brose Drive T Mag mid-mounted motor with up to 250W power and 70 Nm torque. According to the catalogue, this is accompanied by a 400Wh battery, Michelin Power Gravel tires, and an SRAM Apex groupset with a 12-speed crankset. The e-bike has an aluminum 6061 frame with a rigid fork made of carbon and weighs 39.7 lbs (~18.0 kg) on average. The US catalogue also reveals the Van Rysel E-GRVL AF X30, with a 250W 40 Nm Mahle X35 rear hub motor and a 250Wh battery. The 12-speed e-bike has an SRAM Apex groupset, this time with Hutchinson Touareg tires. Like the AF MD, this model has an aluminum 6061 frame with a rigid carbon fork, weighing around 30.8 lbs (~14.0 kg).

Also leaked via a support page is the Van Rysel E-GRVL AF X35, with a 35 Nm Mahle X35 rear motor providing three assistance levels. Alongside this sits a 244 Wh battery and a BC900 GPS bike computer showing information about the bike and your journey. The model uses an SRAM XPLR transmission, SRAM brakes and Hutchinson Touareg tires. Again, this is a lighter bike weighing around 32.6 lbs (~14.8 kg). The Decathlon Van Rysel E-GRVL AF MD e-bike will launch in the EU in March for €3,500 (~$3,800); it is unclear when the model will arrive in the US or how much it will cost. Plus, it remains to be seen when the E-GRVL AF X30 and E-GRVL AF X35 electric bicycles will go on sale and at what price.
