CUBE Litening AERO C:68X SLX

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 Details

Rules 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 C:68X's 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, power meter-ready and has clearance for tyres up to 28mm. But most of all, it's very, very fast.
