Hi all. I recently bought the Van Rysel Ultra CF, and I love it. It’s has the 105 R7000 group set. Does anyone know if it has a short or medium cage derailleur on the rear. Would like to add a bigger cassette on the back than the 11-28 it comes with (I live in a mountainous area).
Thanks!

Is it this one?  If so, on the Decathlon site, under 'VAN RYSEL RCR 900 CF CARBON ROAD BIKE, BLACK - 105' and 'Detailed information' it says: Shimano 105, R700 11 mechanical speeds.
The 105 offers the same precise indexing as the Ultegra and Dura-Ace groupsets.
The derailleurs feature an all-new design. The front derailleur has a guide combined with a new spring mechanism that ensures smooth shifting between chainrings.
The rear derailleur now sports the same tried-and-tested mechanism found on the Dura-Ace groupset (cassette with 32 teeth max. for high-mountain cycling).That would make it the medium cage.  |

Thanks! I saw that, but the medium cage is meant to have a max of 34, which makes me think that’s a copy/paste job, so not certain enough to trust it!!

Yeah, don't worry. Its the medium - Go for it!
You could also do what I do - Put different chain rings on the front. I'm a grinder, so like the 52. But I need help up hills, so I have a 34 small chainring (You are only supposed to have a difference of 16 between small and big, but 52/34 does work). On the back I run an 11-34 (with a 105 R7000 medium derailleur on one bike). So, with 34-34 I can get up most things! :-)
