ANATOMY
OF SPEED

In racing, every watt saved counts. So we went back to the drawing board with the Litening AERO C:68X frameset, and this is the result: a C:68X® frame and fork combination that's 150g lighter and up to 6 watts faster than anything we've built before. With the IC Aero Max Cockpit there's an additional 1 watt saving, too. Those are differences you can see in your results. It's all done by combining pro peloton experience and feedback with wind tunnel testing and Computer Fluid Dynamics, backed up by stress-testing in our own in-house test lab. We celebrated by giving it a stunning genesisfibre'n'black paint finish whose green hues shift as the light plays over it, combined with a multi-colour fibrous texture for extra impact. Although, to be honest, your competition will barely have a chance to see it...

Creative and technical mastery deserves a special paint finish, so that's what we gave the Litening AERO C:68X frameset. Its genesisfibre'n'black colour scheme shifts hue across the green spectrum as the light changes, coupled with a subtle, multi-colour fibrous texture that complements the frame's almost organic lines. And beneath that? A lighter, faster, more aero, UCI-compliant frame crafted from our C:68X® carbon. Yes, it's quick...

LITENING AERO C:68X

Building a race bike that's as aero as possible within UCI rules is exactly the kind of thing that we relish at CUBE. And here's the result: the Litening AERO C:68X frameset. Crafted with our 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. The frameset package includes a Newmen Streem Allround 49/54 wheelset, CUBE IC Aero Max Cockpit and redesigned aero seatpost. With 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 you need to race, faster.

Our flex seatpost helps take some of the buzz and vibration out of the road surface, making it 10% more comfortable than a regular seatpost – and it also features an aero profile, for the best possible performance.

Combining all our expertise from carbon frame building into the ultimate material, C:68X® carbon uses the optimum blend of fibre and nano particle-infused resin. Precision Advanced Twin Mold manufacturing means we can avoid bonded sleeves or inserts, too. It's the new benchmark for light, stiff and strong.

Our Integrated Seatpost Clamp is all part of our quest to sweat the details, so that you can reap the rewards. Its minimalist design suits the frame's pared-back aesthetic. And, of course, that's important – because why wouldn't you want your bike to look great? But it also saves a few grammes too. And that matters just as much...

Full Internal Cable Routing takes the clutter of external cables and consigns it to the past. We started from scratch, designing frame and handlebars to accept gear and brake cables internally so that nothing interrupts the bike's clean lines. It's neater, it's more aero, it protects cables from damage and it reduces maintenance. All the wins.

If you want to race, there are rules. We know that, which is why all our road race bikes that could be used for racing are fully compliant with UCI regulations on bicycle design and construction. We've created a full range of high performance machines that follow the rules, so you can just concentrate on your performance...

Air sucks, and that's why Aero Optimized Geometry matters. Developed with a combination of wind tunnel testing, Computer Fluid Dynamics and feedback from athletes, it's our way of ensuring you can get the best possible performance out of you and your bike. Stable when you need it, agile when it counts and above all very, very fast.

We know that you want to keep track of your performance stats. It's important, which is why we designed a neat, unobtrusive mount for your bike computer. Now you can record and access data wherever you ride, safe in the knowledge that your device is securely mounted and out of harm's way.

One standard for all: gear hanger replacement made easy thanks to the innovative Universal Derailleur Hanger. With a design that includes some room for pivoting to help prevent chain jams, it improves shifting performance and works with all drivetrains. Best of all, it's a standard part that is available anywhere.

With our Advanced Twin Mold process we use two precisely manufactured forms for our C:62®, C:68® and C:68X® carbon frames. The first form is to ensure an accurate layup. The second, inner form keeps every individual fibre precisely where it needs to be while the frame cures. The result is a significantly lighter, stronger frame, with fibre density tailored to anticipated loadings at specific points.
