Highlights
The Litening AERO C:68X SLT won't let you down. From its wind tunnel-tested, UCI-compliant, carbon aero frame – painted in a distinctive solareclipse'n'carbon colour scheme – to its ultra-reliable components and built-in power meter, it's an uncompromisingly fast bike that's built with just one thing in mind: getting the absolute best performance out of you
C:68X Carbon fiber technology
Combining all our expertise from carbon frame building into the ultimate material, C:68X® carbon uses the optimum blend of fibre and nano particle-infused resin. Precision Advanced Twin Mold manufacturing means we can avoid bonded sleeves or inserts, too. It's the new benchmark for light, stiff and strong.
Full Internal cable routing
Full Internal Cable Routing takes the clutter of external cables and consigns it to the past. We started from scratch, designing frame and handlebars to accept gear and brake cables internally so that nothing interrupts the bike's clean lines. It's neater, it's more aero, it protects cables from damage and it reduces maintenance. All the wins.
UCI Compliant
If you want to race, there are rules. We know that, which is why all our road race bikes that could be used for racing are fully compliant with UCI regulations on bicycle design and construction. We've created a full range of high performance machines that follow the rules, so you can just concentrate on your performance.
One-piece Carbon Cockpit
Weight matters when you're chasing every fraction of a second. That's why our one-piece carbon cockpit has been carefully designed to mimic the range of riding positions available with a traditional stem and handlebar combo, but with a substantial weight saving. Light, strong and elegant, it's another way of making every watt count.
Aero Optimized Geometry
Air sucks, and that's why Aero Optimized Geometry matters. Developed with a combination of wind tunnel testing, Computer Fluid Dynamics and feedback from athletes, it's our way of ensuring you can get the best possible performance out of you and your bike. Stable when you need it, agile when it counts and above all very, very fast.
Bike Computer Mount
We know that you want to keep track of your performance stats. It's important, which is why we designed a neat, unobtrusive mount for your bike computer. Now you can record and access data wherever you ride, safe in the knowledge that your device is securely mounted and out of harm's way.
Advanced Twin Mold
With CUBE Advanced Twin Mold process we use two precisely manufactured forms for our C:62®, C:68® and C:68X® carbon frames. The first form is to ensure an accurate layup. The second, inner form keeps every individual fibre precisely where it needs to be while the frame cures. The result is a significantly lighter, stronger frame, with fibre density tailored to anticipated loadings at specific points.
Specification
Frame Description
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 aerodynamic 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 using extensive Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and real-world wind tunnel testing. The result is a significant 30% reduction in drag, in a fully UCI-compliant frame that integrates fork, stem, handlebar, and seatpost seamlessly. It’s also extremely comfortable, power meter-ready, and offers clearance for tyres up to 28mm. But most of all, it’s very, very fast.
