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.

What’s the main obstacle to going faster? Air. The Litening Aero C:68X Pro’s sleek, wind tunnel-tested frame is fully UCI-compliant but also cuts through the air like a hot knife through butter. There’s no better way to improve your performance and work your way through the peloton to the podium.

We won’t tell you about all the countless hours we put into computer fluid dynamics and wind tunnel testing to build the Litening Aero C:68X SLX. Because all you need to know is that its sophisticated, carbon, UCI-compliant frame and cutting-edge components will help you shave minutes and seconds off your race times.

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 2×12 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…
