There are various ways to eke more speed out of a race bike, but for the Nuroad C:62 SLX, we opted to fit a pair of Zipp's 303 XPLR wheels. Shod with Schwalbe's fast-rolling 45mm G-One RX Pro tyres, their deep rim is designed to provide a measurable aero advantage at typical gravel race speeds. Not content with that, we added an IC Race Cockpit and Sram Force XPLR cranks with a power meter – to ensure you're always in full control. Sram's GX Eagle 1x12 Transmission gets your power to the ground and puts the perfect ratio at your fingertips, and matching Sram Force AXS hydraulic disc brakes help you keep your speed in check. It's the complete race package.Frame descriptionThe Nuroad C:62 frame takes everything we know about building light, responsive carbon frames and repackages it in a format that's perfect for fast gravel riding. An integrated seat clamp and Semi-Internal Cable Routing complement the frame's almost organic appearance, and we added our IC Race One-Piece Carbon Cockpit to ensure you're always in control. The full carbon fork has two carrier mounting positions, while the frame itself is ready to accept mudguards and a rear carrier and has clearance for 50mm tyres (45mm with mudguards). And the overall weight for all this? Just 1,150g for a mid-sized frame. So it's tough, but also extremely light. You can think of it as a gravel express...
The Litening AIR C:68X SLT takes the UCI rulebook on weight and frame design and translates it into an ultralight, super-efficient carbon race machine whose very essence is speed. From the carbon-spoked, carbon-rimmed Newmen Streem Allround 49/54 Vonoa wheels – shod with 28mm Conti GP5000 S TR tyres – to the carefully honed frame tube profiles, Full Internal Cable Routing and IC Aero handlebar, every detail is focussed on shaving seconds. And Shimano's range-topping Dura-Ace Di2 components – including a crankset with 4iiii 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 descriptionA 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 pro peloton riders 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 7.1kg bike, but – with details like Full Internal Cable Routing, careful tube profiles and our IC Aero One-Piece Carbon Cockpit – it's still slippery through the air, incredibly good at translating pedalling into forward progress, 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!
Every second matters, whether you're racing to win or just chasing a new personal best. And that's exactly what we had in mind when we designed the Litening AERO C:68X Race – a UCI-compliant race bike built around a frame and fork that's now 150g lighter and between 4 and 6 watts faster than before. We fitted a Shimano Ultegra crankset with a built-in 4iiii dual-sided power meter, so you can monitor your performance. The Newmen Streem Allround 49/54 wheels are shod with 28mm Schwalbe Pro One Aero 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. More seconds clawed back. Closer to that podium...Frame descriptionHere 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 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.

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 descriptionHere 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.
