CUBE LITENING AIR C:68X SLT road bike - carbon/rainbow 2024
There are many ways to go faster, but saving weight and creating as little wind resistance as possible are two of the most effective. With the innovative Litening AIR C:68X we took all of our UCI-compliant aero design experience, then put it on a diet. The result is a bike that's as light as it is slippery through the air. And that makes it really, really fast.
The Litening AIR C:68X SLT takes the UCI rulebook on weight and frame design and transforms it into an ultralight, aero-sleek carbon race machine whose very essence is speed. From the carbon-spoked, carbon-rimmed Newmen Advanced wheels to the super-light Schwalbe Aerothan inner tubes and carefully honed frame tube profiles, every detail is focussed on shaving seconds. Shimano's range-topping Dura-Ace Di2 components – with built-in 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?
An aero 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 C:68X, we worked with Team Wanty 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 6.6kg bike, but it's still slippery through the air 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!
