Van Rysel FCR review: The best value aero helmet on the market right now?

Van Rysel has hit the ground running this year. The Decathlon-owned brand now sponsors the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale team, providing them with Van Rysel bikes and a range of the brand’s kit and equipment. The team has generated a positive buzz this year for creating a successful and more budget-friendly WorldTour level bike, and the brand’s clothing and helmets don’t break the bank either. 

I’m looking at the Van Rysel FCR helmet here, the brand’s performance aero road helmet and the model ridden in WorldTour races like the Tour de France. It’s comfortably one of, if not the cheapest helmet used at the top level, coming in at £89.99 / €100. There is also a MIPS equipped model available in Europe for €120, as well as a few other budget models in the range.
