The CUBE Litening AERO C:68X Race is a purebred UCI-compliant aero race bike engineered for riders who measure performance in seconds and watts. Built around CUBE’s premium C:68X carbon chassis, its advanced aerodynamic shaping has been refined through extensive CFD analysis and wind tunnel testing to deliver a claimed 30% reduction in drag without compromising race legality.
Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12 electronic shifting provides crisp, reliable gear changes under load, while the Ultegra power-meter crankset gives real-time performance data to support structured training and racing. Deep-section Newmen Streem Aero wheels, powerful Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes and fast-rolling Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR tyres complete a package designed to go faster everywhere, from breakaways to final sprints.
