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!
This is what pure speed looks like. The Litening AERO C:68X Pro's C:68X® carbon frame, honed to perfection to make it as slippery as possible through the air and as light as possible on the scales, is just the start. Sram's Force AXS 2x12-speed gears – with power meter – transfer your efforts at the pedals to a pair of 30mm Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR tyres wrapped around a Newmen Streem Allround 49/54 wheelset. Matching Sram Force AXS hydraulic disc brakes mean you can brake harder, later... for even more speed. And a CUBE IC Aero One-Piece Carbon Cockpit is also designed to save weight and watts. Ready to race?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.
