CUBE LITENING AERO C:68X RACE carbon roadbike - timeline - 2023
Features of CUBE LITENING AERO C:68X RACE:The Litening C:68X Pro is proof that a race bike can be UCI-compliant, comfortable, light... and very, very slippery through the air. No compromise. With its Computer Fluid Dynamics-designed chassis, Newmen STREEM wheelset and Sram Force 2x12 gears, you'll not find a more aerodynamically efficient bike in the peloton. A Comfort Flex seatpost and wider tyres keep things comfortable for the long haul, so you can perform at your best. And powerful Sram Force hydraulic disc brakes add stopping power so you can go faster, for longer.
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.
A GREAT RACE BIKE CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. THE LITENING AERO C:68X RACE COMBINES CUTTING-EDGE, UCI-COMPLIANT AERODYNAMICS WITH PROVEN RACE GEOMETRY AND A SELECTION OF COMPONENTS THAT MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY WATT YOU PUT IN. WE EVEN FITTED A POWER METER, SO YOU CAN TRACK YOUR PERFORMANCE.
