You've put in the miles, honed your training to perfection, and now it's time to race. The Litening AERO C:68X SLT is the bike you'll need. Built around our C:68X carbon aero chassis with 30% drag reduction, it features Shimano's Dura-Ace 2x12 Di2 groupset – with built-in power meter – for precise gear changes and powerful braking literally at your fingertips. A Newmen Streem Aero/Sprint 60/66 Vonoa wheelset with a lower profile up front gives superb handling and incredible aero performance, even in windy conditions. Tubeless-ready 28mm Continental Grand Prix 5000 tyres combine rapid acceleration with the grip that you need. And the bike's low overall weight and day-long comfort help ensure you'll perform at your peak, hour after hour.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.
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.

As light as we can make it, built to excel at sprinting and climbing, and fully UCI-compliant: the Litening AIR C:68X Race ticks all the boxes, so you can perform at your best. Built around our ultralight C:68X® carbon chassis, we began by fitting Shimano's ultra-reliable Ultegra Di2 2x12 gears and a 4iiii power meter-equipped Ultegra chainset. Newmen Streem Allround 49/54 wheels shod with 30mm Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR tyres transfer your power to the road, while powerful Shimano Ultegra Di2 hydraulic disc brakes ensure you can safely brake harder and later. And the light, comfortable full carbon fork complements the exceptional performance of the C:68X® carbon frame. It's ready to race. Are you?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!
