There are fast bikes, and then there's the Litening AERO C:68X Orbit. UCI-compliant and built to carve a tunnel of pure pace through the wall of air ahead, it's as single-minded about performance as you are. A C:68X® carbon frame and fork combo that's 150g lighter and 4 to 6 watts more efficient than before is a great start. We added our one-piece IC Aero Max Cockpit, for a super-efficient ride position. Selected 28mm Pirelli P Zero™ Race SL R tyres, wrapped around light and aero Newmen Streem Aero/Sprint 60/66 Vonoa carbon wheels. Added Sram Red AXS hydraulic disc brakes for fingertip speed control. And finished off with a power meter-equipped Sram Red crankset connected to Sram Red XPLR AXS 1x13 gears, for perfect power delivery. Maximum velocity, perfected.
Frame description
Here at CUBE we love a challenge, so building a race bike that's as aero as possible within UCI rules is exactly the kind of thing that we relish. And here's the result: the Litening AERO frame. Built with our premium C:68X® carbon material and designed with extensive use of Computer Fluid Dynamics and real-world wind tunnel testing, it's now lighter and faster than ever. Around 150g lighter than before for frame and fork, to be precise. And reduced drag to the tune of between 4 and 6 watts. Those are differences you can see in your results. With a CUBE IC Aero Max Cockpit, redesigned aero seatpost, clearance for up to 34mm tyres, a future-proof UDH rear end and full compatibility with all CUBE one-piece cockpits, it's got everything you need to race, faster.
