The Litening AERO C:68X SLX's blend of low weight, long-haul comfort and wind tunnel-tested, UCI-compliant aerodynamics gives you a head start that is sure to make a tangible difference to your results. A Newmen Allround 49/54 Vonoa wheelset wrapped with 28mm Continental Grand Prix 5000 S-TR tyres combines aerodynamic design with light weight. Meanwhile Sram's Red 2x12 wireless AXS groupset puts a wide gear range and awesome stopping power at your fingertips – and, with its integrated power meter, you're on top of your performance at all times. Put it all together with a frame and fork set-up that's 150g lighter and up to 6 watts more efficient than before, and it's a great recipe for helping you break free of the bunch.
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.
