Every second matters, whether racing to win or just chasing a new personal best. And that's exactly what the Litening AERO C:68X Race was designed for – a UCI-compliant race bike built around a frame and fork that's now 150g lighter and up to 6 watts faster than before. A Shimano Ultegra crankset with a built-in 4iiii dual-sided power meter allows performance to be monitored. The Newmen Streem Allround 49/54 wheels are shod with 28mm Schwalbe Pro One Aero tyres. Shimano's Ultegra Di2 2x12 gears are wide-ranging and incredibly reliable. And matching Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes allow you to go even faster, because braking later is possible. More seconds clawed back. Closer to that podium...

Here at CUBE, a challenge means building a race bike that's as aero as possible within UCI rules, exactly the kind of thing that drives the development of the Litening AERO frame. Built with premium C:68X® carbon material and designed with extensive use of Computer Fluid Dynamics and real-world wind tunnel testing, it's now lighter and faster than ever. Around 150g lighter than before for frame and fork, to be precise. And reduced drag by up to 6 watts. Those are differences you can see in your results. With a CUBE IC Aero Max Cockpit, redesigned aero seatpost, clearance for up to 34mm tyres, a future-proof UDH rear end and full compatibility with all CUBE one-piece cockpits, it's got everything needed to race, faster.
