Road Bike Carbon Men

When we set out to develop a new ultralight race bike with Team Wanty, the Litening AIR C:68® SLX was 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. Shimano Ultegra Di2 with built-in power meter handles stop and go duties, while carbon-spoked Newmen Advanced carbon aero wheels – shod with Continental tyres and ultralight Schwalbe Aerothan tubes – help keep the rubber side down even as the speed increases. The ultimate race machine? You decide.

Frame and equipment

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 brand-new Litening AIR C:68X®, we worked with Team 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 6.6kg 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!

For whom is the Cube Litening AIR C:68X SLX suitable?

For the ambitious racer. Bikes from this category are a serious competition and regularly find themselves on the podium. The large selection of equipment variants, geometries and frame concepts serve every need, from the comfort-oriented touring cyclist to the dogged competitor. The light and extremely rigid frames transport every milli-watt of power directly into the bottom bracket and ensure uncompromising feed. The high-quality components ensure low-maintenance fun for everyone and women.
