Cube Litening Air C 68X Slx Road Bike MY26
Information
When we set out to develop an ultra-light race bike, the Litening AIR C:68X SLX was exactly what we had in mind. Slippery through the air, comfortable enough to race all day and weighing in at around 799g for a mid-sized frame, it's the UCI-compliant speed machine you've been looking for. Sram's Red AXS gears – with built-in power meter – and brakes handle stop-and-go duties, while Newmen Streem Allround 49/54 Vonoa carbon wheels – shod with 30mm Continental Grand Prix tyres – help keep you in full control even as the speed increases. The ultimate race machine? That's up to you.
Frame description
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, we worked with Team Intermarché-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 6.8kg 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!
