As aero as possible, as light as possible and fully UCI-compliant: the Litening AIR C:68X Race ticks all the boxes, so you can perform better. Built around our ultra-light C:68X carbon chassis, we began by fitting Shimano's ultra-reliable Ultegra Di2 components and power meter-equipped chainset. Newmen Streem Allround 49/54 wheels shod with 30mm Continental Grand Prix 5000 S tyres get your power down to the road. And the light, comfortable full carbon fork complements the exceptional performance of the C:68X carbon frame. It's ready to perform. Are you?Frame descriptionAn aero bike that reduces wind resistance is great, but a race bike should also – of course – be as light as possible. So, with the Litening® AIR, we worked with Team Intermarché-Wanty to develop a frame from our premium C:68X carbon that combines the best of both worlds. At around 799g for a mid-sized frame it's svelte enough to easily build a UCI-compliant 7.3kg bike, but it's still slippery through the air and comfortable for long days in the saddle. The overall weight saving on a classic road bike is a difference you can clearly feel – and see in your results!
The Litening AIR C:68X SLT takes the UCI rulebook on weight and frame design and translates it into an ultra-light, aero-sleek carbon race machine whose very essence is speed. From the carbon-spoked, carbon-rimmed Newmen Streem Climbing 35/38 Vonoa wheels – shod with 28mm Conti GP5000 S-TR tyres – to the carefully honed frame tube profiles, every detail is focussed on shaving seconds. The new aero carbon cockpit improves your performance even further, by up to 8 watts. And Shimano's range-topping Dura-Ace Di2 components – including a crankset with built-in power meter – transfer your power to the road and bring you safely to a stop. There's fast, and there's very rapid indeed. Guess which one this bike is?Frame descriptionAs we're fond of saying here at CUBE, it's all about the detail. The Litening® AIR is already an exceptionally light, exceptionally rapid frame. We worked with the pro riders on Team Intermarché-Wanty to make it so: around 799g for a mid-sized frame, and capable of being built into a 6.6kg race-ready bike that's fully UCI-compliant. But for the SLT version we wanted to go one better, so we developed a new one-piece carbon cockpit that's even more aero than before, saving up to 8 watts. It also provides a convenient mount for your bike compute, so you can keep track of just how much faster you're able to ride...

Speed is everything in racing, which is why the Litening AIR C:68X Pro combines an incredibly light frame with aero design. But that's just the start. Sram's Force AXS electronic 2x12 gears deliver your power to the road – and the built-in power meter means you can keep an eye on exactly how much effort you're expending. Lightweight Newmen Streem Climbing 35/38 wheels shod with 30mm Continental tyres are fast to accelerate, whilst Sram Force AXS hydraulic disc brakes give you the power you need to brake late and hard. Put it all together, and you'll be posting new personal bests right off the line.Frame descriptionAn aero bike that reduces wind resistance is great, but a race bike should also – of course – be as light as possible.

If you're aiming for the podium, you need more than just strong legs – you need the fastest equipment: the Litening AIR C:68X Pro. This race machine features an ultralight and aerodynamic frame with an integrated cockpit. Your job? Simply let the Newmen Streem Climbing 35/38 wheels roll. The Sram Force 2x12 groupset, including a built-in power meter, ensures flawless shifting, while the hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in all weather conditions. Looking for a bike that will help you cross the finish line first? This is your choice.
When we set out to design a true racing bike, we had exactly the Litening AIR C:68X SLX in mind. Optimized for minimal air resistance, high comfort on long rides, and an ultralight weight. With a frame weighing just 799 grams (size M), this UCI-approved race partner is the one you’ve always dreamed of. The Sram Red AXS groupset, including an integrated power meter, ensures seamless shifting and powerful braking. Newmen's carbon Streem Climbing 35/38 aero wheels, combined with fast Continental Grand Prix 5000 tires, let you roll effortlessly. The ultimate race bike? That judgment is up to you.
When you're racing to win – or even just to improve your performance – every second counts. With the Litening AERO C:68X Race, we've built a UCI-compliant race bike around a frame that's reduced drag by 30%, so you can claw back those marginal gains. The Shimano Ultegra crankset with a built-in 4iiii dual-sided power meter means you can keep an eye on your performance. Newmen Streem Allround 49/54 wheels feature aero profiles and are shod with tubeless-ready 28mm Continental Grand Prix tyres. Shimano's Ultegra Di2 2x12 gears are wide-ranging and incredibly reliable. And matching Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes allow you to go even faster, because you can brake later. No doubt about it – this bike is rapid.Frame descriptionRules are rules. A race bike needs to conform in order to qualify for UCI-sanctioned races. But designing a frame that's significantly more slippery through the air, without breaking the rules? That's completely legit. The Litening® AERO lightweight carbon chassis – built with our premium C:68X material – was designed with extensive use of Computer Fluid Dynamics and real-world wind tunnel testing. The result is a significant 30% reduction in drag, in a fully UCI-compliant frame that elegantly integrates fork, stem, handlebar and seatpost. It's also extremely comfortable and has clearance for tyres up to 28mm. But most important of all, it's very, very fast.

Not all race bikes are created equal. The Litening C:68X SLX's blend of low weight, long-haul comfort and wind-cheating aerodynamics gives you a head start that's entirely UCI-compliant. A Mavic Cosmic SLR 45 wheelset combines wind-cheating design with light weight, while Sram's Red 2x12 wireless AXS groupset puts a wide gear range and awesome stopping power at your fingertips. Carbon comfort, 30% reduced frame drag and fastidious attention to detail means there's no better way to break free of the bunch...Frame descriptionRules are rules.

Stand barefoot with your heels against the wall. Place your feet about 6 inches apart.2. Grab a book and place it between your legs, with the short side of the book against the wall. Press the book up against your crotch, mimicking the idea of a bicycle saddle.3. Measure the length from the top of the book to the floor, the distance you measure is your inseam.
Low air resistance makes any road bike better. But low weight does the same. So, what if you could have both? The fully UCI-approved Litening AIR C:68X Race makes no compromises. Not when it comes to the frame and fork made from the extremely high-quality C:68X carbon. And also not when it comes to the components. Like the Shimano Ultegra Di2 drivetrain and Newmen Streem Climbing 35/38 wheels with fast Continental Grand Prix 5000 tires. This bike is ready for competition. Are you?
