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.

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.

At CUBE we know that every second counts. That’s why, with the Litening AERO C:68X Race, we’ve built a UCI-compliant race bike around a frame that’s reduced drag by 30% – and fitted a crankset with a power meter. Newmen Advanced wheels feature aero profiles with a shallower profile at the front to reduce the effect of crosswinds. Shimano’s Ultegra Di2 2×12 transmission is sleek, wide-ranging and incredibly reliable. And matching Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes allow you to go even faster, because you can brake later. No doubt about it – it’s fast.
