When you're up against the clock and your competitors, speed is all that matters. That's why the Litening AIR C:68X Pro combines an incredibly light, frame with a focus on pedalling efficiency and aero detailing. But that's just the start. Sram's Force AXS electronic 2x12 gears deliver your power to the road – and the built-in power meter means you can keep an eye on exactly how much effort you're putting in. Lightweight Newmen Streem Climbing 35/38 wheels shod with 30mm Continental tyres are fast to accelerate, whilst Sram Force AXS hydraulic disc brakes give you the power you need to brake late and hard. Put it all together, and you'll be posting new personal bests and chasing that podium finish.
Frame
A 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 pro peloton riders 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 7.1kg bike, but – with details like Full Internal Cable Routing, careful tube profiles and our IC Aero One-Piece Carbon Cockpit – it's still slippery through the air, incredibly good at translating pedalling into forward progress, 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!
