At CUBE, we love a challenge! Designing an ultra-aerodynamic road bike that complies with UCI regulations is exactly the sort of project that gets us excited. Here\u2019s the result: the Litening AERO frame. Built using our premium C:68X\u00ae carbon material and designed using extensive computational fluid dynamics and real-world wind tunnel testing, it\u2019s now lighter and faster than ever. Around 150 g lighter for the frame and fork, to be precise. And a reduction in drag of up to 6 watts. All differences you\u2019ll notice in your performance. With a CUBE IC Aero Max cockpit, a redesigned aerodynamic seatpost, clearance for tyres up to 34 mm, an upgradeable UDH rear hub and full compatibility with all CUBE monoblock handlebar sets, it has everything you need to ride faster.<\/p>\n
There are fast bikes, and then there\u2019s the Litening AERO C:68X Orbit. Compliant with UCI standards and designed to slice through the air at top speed, it\u2019s just as determined to perform as you are. A C:68X\u00ae carbon frame and fork that\u2019s 150 g lighter and up to 6 watts more efficient than before \u2013 that\u2019s already an excellent start. We\u2019ve added our IC Aero Max one-piece cockpit for an ultra-efficient riding position. Selected 28 mm Pirelli P Zero\u2122 Race SL R tyres, fitted to lightweight, aerodynamic Newmen Streem Aero\/Sprint 60\/66 Vonoa carbon wheels. SRAM Red AXS hydraulic disc brakes have been fitted for fingertip speed control. And finally, a SRAM Red crankset fitted with a power metre, linked to a SRAM Red XPLR AXS 1\u00d713 drivetrain, for perfect power transfer. Maximum speed, perfected.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
An exceptionally fast bike deserves an exceptional paint finish, and that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019ve done here. The Litening AERO C:68X Orbit\u2019s \u2018digitalcarbon\u2019n\u2019prizm\u2019 design, with its tech-inspired pattern in matt grey overlaid on a carbon background, is set off by bold, glossy holographic chrome decals. But it\u2019s not just a feast for the eyes. The finish itself is also very lightweight. Because speed demands meticulous attention to detail, and that is precisely what this bike represents\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":31156,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[1766],"product_cat":[1747,1746,1756],"product_tag":[117],"class_list":["post-31155","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-cube","product_cat-bike-cube-2027","product_cat-cube-2027","product_cat-road-bike-cube-2027","product_tag-cube","first","onbackorder","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
