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
You\u2019ve clocked up the kilometres and fine-tuned your training \u2013 now it\u2019s time for competition. The Litening AERO C:68X SLT is the bike for you. Built around our C:68X\u00ae aerodynamic carbon frame, which is even lighter and more efficient, it\u2019s fitted with a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 2\u00d712-speed drivetrain paired with a Dura-Ace crankset featuring a 4iiii power meter, for precise gear changes at the touch of a finger. A pair of Newmen Streem Aero\/Sprint 60\/66 Vonoa wheels, with a lower profile at the front, offer predictable handling combined with aerodynamic performance, even in windy conditions. The 28 mm tubeless-compatible Schwalbe Pro One Aero tyres offer rapid acceleration and the grip you need. The powerful and progressive Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 hydraulic disc brakes allow you to brake later and maintain your speed for longer. Finally, its light weight and lasting comfort ensure optimal performance, hour after hour.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Litening AERO C:68X SLT gives a glimpse of its potential to wreak havoc in time trials thanks to its iridescent decals, but the innocuous appearance of its slate-grey, prismatic base colour is merely a disguise. Beneath its understated exterior lies a core forged from our top-of-the-range C:68X\u00ae carbon, optimised for aerodynamics and lightness, and fitted with race-proven components. It\u2019s a true wolf in sheep\u2019s clothing.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":31174,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[1766],"product_cat":[1747,1746,1756],"product_tag":[117],"class_list":["post-31173","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
