Road Bike Carbon Men with damages in paintwork

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 racing bike professional. No other bike offers as much scope for improvements in detail as the racing bike. Carbon components are used to improve stiffness and weight by a few percentage points. Even more compact frames, even more sporty seating positions and perfectly tuned equipment should bring out the best. Previously reserved only for paid professionals, these bikes are now available to the ready public. Climb up and experience the rush of speed!
