Last week Rose released a XLITE UNLTD Classified limited edition designed together with Marcel Kittel.

Cycling was his life, career, and daily battle: Marcel Kittel is a 14-time Tour de France stage winner, the best German sprinter and an investor in Classified.  Today, he rides his bike to enjoy himself and wants to pass on this attitude to other cyclists.

Together with Rose he developed a bike that meets his current expectations. A bike made for ultimate fun. From full sprint to fully relaxed. This means pro Level specs and a super clean look. 

The former professional road cyclist appreciates being able to ride more relaxed tours now, while still remaining true to his principles: “When I feel like it, I just 
sprint.” For him, it's all about combining performance and relaxation. From now on, he would like to convey this attitude of life to the cycling-enthusiastic community. He focuses on the fun of biking and “not taking everything so seriously”. The bike meets his expectations exactly – a clean look in the colour “supersonic grey”, pro specs and, for a bit of fun, there is a sticker with Marcel's snack table that can be individually stuck on.

The bike comes equiped with a 1x Shimano Dura Ace Di2 drivetrain in combination with Classified Powershift Technology and our flagship R50 carbon aero wheels. 
The bike will impress with lighting-fast gear changes, optimised ergonomics and absolute reliability to make the lucky rider faster than ever before.

The hawk eyed fans might already have spotted the bike at our 2023 Eurobike stand, where it was definitly an attraction. 

Discover the full story of the bike in the video below.
