Decathlon Recalls Van Rysel Bikes Over a Front Lock Nut Hazard
In October 2026, Decathlon America issued a voluntary recall for 1,150 Van Rysel GRVL AF bicycles that were sold nationwide at REI. The problem is that the front lock nut can loosen over time, which is a significant safety risk because this nut is responsible for securing the front wheel to the axle/frame of the bike.
Why Were These Bikes Recalled?
If the front nut fails, the front wheel can potentially loosen or detach. This could lead to a crash or a loss of steering control. Decathlon’s recall website warns that the problem poses a “fall and crash hazard to riders. No injuries were reported in the recall announcement.
