The Litening AERO C:68X SLX is built around a light, aerodynamic C:68X® carbon frame. The frame and fork were developed using extensive CFD simulations and real-world wind tunnel testing. The result is a 150-gram weight saving over the previous generation and a four-to-six-watt reduction in aerodynamic drag. The integrated aero cockpit, aerodynamic seatpost and fully internal cable routing naturally play their part too. Clearance for tyres up to thirty-four millimetres makes this aero racer extra versatile.
The equipment also focuses on speed and performance. The wireless SRAM Red AXS 2x12 groupset perfectly suits this racer's competitive character, as do Newmen's deep-section carbon Streem Aero/Sprint 49/54 wheels with carbon Vonoa spokes. We have fitted twenty-eight-millimetre Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR tyres, which keep rolling resistance low while providing plenty of grip. Want to break away from the peloton? This is the right tool.
