Optimise Your Ride with the Litening AIR C:68X Aero Bike

If you're searching for a race bike that combines ultra-lightweight design with exceptional aerodynamics, look no further than the Litening AIR C:68X. Collaborating with Team Wanty, Cube have crafted this frame from an advanced C:68X® carbon, achieving an impressive weight of just 799g for a mid-sized frame. This allows you to easily build a UCI-compliant bike weighing as little as 6.5kg. Enjoy the perfect blend of speed and comfort for those long rides, with noticeable performance improvements.

Performance-Driven Design

The Litening AIR C:68X SLT is engineered for competitive cyclists who demand the best. This bike seamlessly integrates low weight with aerodynamic efficiency, full UCI compliance, and a suite of race-proven components, ensuring you can perform at your peak. The striking liquidlava 'n' black frame finish adds a touch of style to your ride.

Advanced C:68X Carbon Fibre Technology

Cube C:68X® carbon technology represents the pinnacle of carbon frame construction. This cutting-edge material combines an optimal mix of fibres and nano-particle-infused resin. Thanks to a Precision Advanced Twin Mould manufacturing, Cube have eliminated bonded sleeves and inserts, setting a new standard for lightweight, stiffness, and strength.

Streamlined Internal Cable Routing

Say goodbye to cluttered cables. Cube's full internal cable routing system keeps your bike's lines clean and aerodynamic. Designed from the ground up, the frame and handlebars accommodate internal gear and brake cables, protecting them from damage while minimising maintenance. It's a win-win for both aesthetics and performance.

Road Climbing Geometry for Optimal Performance

With a Road Climbing Geometry, every pedal stroke counts. Featuring a short rear centre and agile handling, this design maximises your energy output, allowing you to conquer steep gradients with ease. Cube are here to help you overcome gravity’s challenges.

UCI Compliance for Serious Racers

For competitive cyclists, adhering to regulations is crucial. The Litening AIR C:68X SLT is fully compliant with UCI standards for bicycle design and construction, allowing you to focus solely on your performance without any worries.

One-Piece Carbon Cockpit for Weight Savings

When every second matters, weight reduction is essential. Cube's one-piece carbon cockpit mimics the versatility of a traditional stem and handlebar combo while significantly reducing weight. It's light, strong, and stylish, perfect for maximising every watt.

Integrated Garmin Mount for Performance Tracking

Stay on top of your performance stats with an unobtrusive Garmin mount. Designed for secure placement, this feature allows you to record and access your data effortlessly, keeping your focus on the ride.

Innovative Advanced Twin Mould Process

Cube's Advanced Twin Mould process utilises two precision-engineered forms for their C:62®, C:68®, and C:68X® carbon frames. The outer mould ensures accurate layup, while the inner mold keeps fibres perfectly positioned during curing. The result is a lighter, stronger frame tailored for performance.
