Cube Litening Aero C:68X Race Blackline 54 cm frame

If you race to win – or just to improve your performance – every second counts. With the Litening AERO C:68X Race, we've built a UCI-compliant race bike around a frame with 30% less air resistance, so you can regain that marginal gain. The Shimano Ultegra crankset with built-in 4iiii dual-sided power meter ensures that you can monitor your performance. Newmen Streem Allround 49/54 wheels have aerodynamic profiles and are fitted with tubeless-ready 28 mm Continental Grand Prix tires. Shimano's Ultegra Di2 2x12 gears have a wide shifting range and are incredibly reliable. And with the matching Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes you can go even faster because you can brake later. No doubt about it: this bike is blazingly fast. Rules are rules. A race bike must adhere to them to qualify for UCI-approved races. But designing a frame that is significantly smoother in the air, without breaking the rules? That's perfectly legitimate. The Litening® AERO lightweight carbon chassis – built with our premium C:68X® material – is designed with extensive use of Computational Fluid Dynamics and practical testing in the wind tunnel. The result is a significant reduction in air resistance by 30%, in a fully UCI-compliant frame that elegantly integrates fork, stem, handlebars, and seat post. It is also extremely comfortable and offers space for tires up to 28 mm. But most importantly: it is blazingly fast. Frame Material C:68X® Frame Weight 980 g Maximum Tire Width 28 mm
