CUBE Litening AERO C:68X SLX (2026)

CUBE Litening AERO C:68X SLX

The Litening AERO C:68X SLX's blend of low weight, long-haul comfort and wind tunnel-tested aerodynamics gives you a head start that's both UCI-compliant and enough to make a tangible difference to your results. A Newmen Streem Aero/Sprint 60/66 Vonoa wheelset wrapped with 28mm tubeless-ready Continental Grand Prix tyres combines aerodynamic design with light weight. Meanwhile Sram's Red 2x12 wireless AXS groupset puts a wide gear range and awesome stopping power at your fingertips – and, with its integrated power meter, you're on top of your performance at all times. Put it all together with carbon comfort and 30% reduced frame drag, and it's a great recipe for helping you 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® 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.
