An Post-Chainreaction unveils new bikes and kit for 2016

The new kit looks absolutely fantastic, with a new shade of green and the addition of striking blue giving it a great lift.

Sean Kelly’s An Post-ChainReaction team has released these first photos of its new-look kit and new bikes for the road racing season ahead.

The main changes to the kit are a deeper shade of green and striking blue panels on the shorts and jerseys; both of which combine to create a bigger impact look.

The new bikes are built around full carbon Vitus Vitesse Evo framesets, with the team moving to Campagnolo groupsets.

“We’re delighted to have recently extended our sponsorship with An Post-ChainReaction for the next two seasons,” said Vitus brand manager Simon Cordner.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome and indeed thank our co-sponsors for their support this season.

“It’s an exciting time of year for us as we launch the new race bike and I’m looking forward to seeing the team start their race calendar next month.”

The team’s wheelsets for 2016 are supplied by Vision while FSA completes the build kit with k-Force light and SLK components.

Selle Italia supplies the saddles and bar tape while Speedplay supplies the riders’ pedals and Michelin their tyres.
