ABOUT THE CUBE LITENING C:68X SLT

You've put in the miles, done the hours and measured the results. You're ready to race. Aiming high. Which means you'll need a bike that won't hold you back. Have you met the all-new Litening C:68X SLT? You should, because it's going to redefine your expectations of what's possible from a race bike. As you'd expect from one of our range-topping machines, we've selected only the best components - including Sram's awesome new wireless Red AXS groupset and DT Swiss ARC 1100 DICUT 62 carbon wheelset.

But that's only part of the story. Because, building on all the experience gained from developing Cube's wind-cheating Aerium bikes, our engineers used advanced Computer Fluid Dynamics to examine every part of the frame, both individually and collectively, in detail. Then, using the results of these tests, they tested every stage of the development process - from 3D-printed prototype to final production version - in the wind tunnel. The result is a frame that's astonishingly aerodynamically efficient, with 30% lower drag than before thanks to a seamless structure integrating chassis, fork, stem, handlebar and seat post. With minimal cross-wind susceptibility and full UCI approval, it's a race bike that's going to be making waves in pelotons around the world. Clearance for 28mm tyres, power meter compatibility and with provision for multiple bottle positions, it's the not-so-secret weapon that'll give you the advantage you need to break away from the pack.
