Concept bike FTP²

Much like concept cars that foreshadow the future of the automotive world, the concept bike FTP² is a true rolling laboratory, unconstrained by current industrial standards.

Its name embodies its promise: FTP². The goal is not to erase effort, but to magnify it. The system acts as a force multiplier that doubles the rider's FTP, transforming every watt produced into propulsion capable of shattering conventional limits.

FTP²

Masterpiece of collaboration

This machine is the result of total synergy. While the heart of the propulsion relies on the most powerful MAHLE engine kit available, the soul of the bike is pure VAN RYSEL. From the handmade carbon layup to the custom electronic integration, the internal teams (design, composites, electronics) controlled every step. It is not merely an assembly of parts, but a collaboration of experts orchestrated by VAN RYSEL to build what was previously deemed impossible.

Beyond the showroom

Unlike traditional concept bikes meant only for display, the FTP² is alive. It rides, reacts, and performs. Every system, from the lighting signature to the propulsion, is fully operational. It stands as a tangible prototype, built to withstand the constraints of extreme speed on the asphalt rather than just looking good on a podium.

FTP²

Multiplied power

The concept integrates a unique version of the most powerful kit developed by partner MAHLE. Initially designed for mountain biking, this motor is driven by specific software developed to manage this raw power on the tarmac. The system does not merely assist the rider but multiplies the input effort by up to four. The athlete transforms into a superhuman engine.

Aerodynamic stability

To master such speeds, aerodynamics becomes the absolute guarantee of safety. The frame, the head tube, and the unique two-part fork were entirely designed internally, produced directly from the factory molds. They utilize NACA profiles to smooth airflow. Integration is total: the battery and motor disappear into the frame's aero volumes to offer imperturbable handling.

The cockpit: total command center

This is where internal engineering makes perfect sense. The cockpit fully centralizes the machine's piloting for flawless ergonomics. The rider controls gears, assistance modes, and even the micrometric tightening of shoes directly from the handlebar, a world premiere. This configuration ensures the rider never has to let go of the bars, guaranteeing maximum reactivity and perfect safety.

The technological legacy

FTP² is a laboratory. The innovations validated on this prototype will not remain confidential. The aerodynamic integration of the battery, the fork design, and the integrated lighting signature prefigure the standards for future VAN RYSEL road bikes. What is extreme today will be the norm tomorrow.
