A frameset fit for The King.
The Sean Kelly LTD Edition is our flagship road bike designed in collaboration with Vitus brand ambassador Sean Kelly, the most successful Vitus rider in the proud history of the marque and the man regarded by many as the finest Classics rider of all time.
The Sean Kelly frameset has been officially UCI approved for use in ProTour level racing and certifies that the frame and fork meet the shape requirements set out in the UCI regulations.
Our frames are tested to and exceed European safety standards with all frames being certified to CE EN14781 which meets current safety regulations.
Lightweight T700 HM-UD Carbon Frame – 950g Frame Weight
Our lightweight high-modulus uni-directional carbon frames are manufactured using T700 HM-UD carbon to combine light weight and impeccable handling with just the right balance of stiffness and vertical compliance. Complemented by a matching HM-UD carbon fork with tapered steerer for reduced road buzz and precise handling, even on broken surfaces.
The frame features ‘classic’ racing angles and a distinctive black and green livery to reflect the Irish heritage and sporting record of Kelly, who notched 80% of his 193 professional victories astride a bike bearing the Vitus badge, most notably the iconic aluminium-framed Vitus 979 which he rode with distinction in several Tours de France.
