There are fast bikes, and then there's the Litening AERO C:68X Orbit. UCI-compliant and built to carve a tunnel of pure pace through the wall of air ahead, it's as single-minded about performance as you are. A C:68X® carbon frame and fork combo that's 150g lighter and up to 6 watts more efficient than before is a great start. We added our one-piece IC Aero Max Cockpit, for a super-efficient ride position. Selected 28mm Pirelli P Zero™ Race SL R tyres, wrapped around light and aero Newmen Streem Aero/Sprint 60/66 Vonoa carbon wheels. Added Sram Red AXS hydraulic disc brakes for fingertip speed control. And finished off with a power meter-equipped Sram Red crankset connected to Sram Red XPLR AXS 1x13 gears, for perfect power delivery. Maximum velocity, perfected.

Frame

Here at CUBE we love a challenge, so building a race bike that's as aero as possible within UCI rules is exactly the kind of thing that we relish. And here's the result: the Litening AERO frame. Built with our premium C:68X® carbon material and designed with extensive use of Computer Fluid Dynamics and real-world wind tunnel testing, it's now lighter and faster than ever. Around 150g lighter than before for frame and fork, to be precise. And reduced drag by up to 6 watts. Those are differences you can see in your results. With a CUBE IC Aero Max Cockpit, redesigned aero seatpost, clearance for up to 34mm tyres, a future-proof UDH rear end and full compatibility with all CUBE one-piece cockpits, it's got everything you need to race, faster.
