2023 Cube Litening Air C:68x SLX Road Bike
Description
When designing a new ultra-light race bike together with Team Wanty, we had a racing machine like the Litening AIR C:68® SLX in mind – extremely aerodynamic, but at the same time comfortable to ride, even on long days in the saddle. With a medium frame size, its frame weighs only about 799 g and thus complies with UCI regulations.
The Shimano Ultegra Di2 circuit with built-in watt meter system takes care of efficient propulsion. And the aerodynamic Newmen Advanced carbon wheels with carbon spokes, Continental tires and ultra-light Schwalbe Aerothan tubes guarantee maximum traction and directional stability, even at top speeds. Conclusion: a thoroughbred racer as written in books! An aerodynamic bike with little air resistance is something fine, of course.
A race bike that also weighs extremely little is even better. In this respect, we worked together with the Wanty team on the development of our brand new Litening AIR C:68X®. The super slim frame made of our high-quality C:68X® carbon composite material combines the best in terms of aerodynamics and low weight.
With a medium frame size, it only weighs around 799 g – the perfect basis for the set-up as a 6.9 kg lighter, UCI-compliant racer. It goes without saying that the chassis is extremely streamlined and, above all, super comfortable to ride over long distances. The total weight saving of 480 g compared to a fully equipped bike is clearly noticeable. Try it out and your best time is within reach!
