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 7.2kg 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!
As aero as possible, as light as possible and fully UCI-compliant: that’s the Litening AIR C:68X Race. Built around our ultra-light carbon chassis, we started with Shimano’s Ultegra Di2 components and a power meter-equipped chainset.
Newmen Streem Climbing 35/38 wheels shod with Continental Grand Prix 5000 tyres get your power down to the road. And the light, comfortable full carbon fork complements the exceptional performance of the C:68X® carbon frame. It’s ready to race. Are you?
