CHALLENGING
GRAVITY

Riding and racing bikes is fun, so we channelled that youthful spirit with the Litening AIR C:68X frameset's graphic'n'white colour scheme. A plain white base and simple graphics highlight its serious underpinnings, whilst splashes of bold and unexpected colour hint at the playfulness inherent in just riding. Really. Really. Fast. Oh, those serious underpinnings? Our premium C:68X® carbon, crafted into an ultralight and super-efficient frame that tips the scales at 799g for a medium size. Because we really are serious about helping you get the best from your training.

LITENING AIR C:68X

A race bike should, of course, be as light as possible. Lower weight is better for climbing, sprinting and, importantly, just generally going faster. Which is, after all, what it's all about. So the Litening AIR C:68X frameset takes everything we learned from working with pro team riders, and condenses it into an aero-enhanced frame that's also incredibly light and efficient. At around 799g for a mid-sized frame it's seriously light, but it's also comfortable for long days in the saddle. Supplied complete with IC Aero Cockpit, seatpost and a Newmen Streem Allround 49/54 wheelset, you'll be able to see the difference in your results.

Sleek, light and with a profile that cuts through the air as efficiently as possible, the one-piece carbon IC Aero Cockpit features a 125mm drop and 72mm reach combined with -10˚ rise, a 5˚ frontsweep, 6° flare and 2° outsweep. It's the ideal balance between performance and comfort, whether you're racing or training.
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.
When every second counts, you need your bike's geometry to work with you. Our Road Climbing Geometry's short rear centre and emphasis on agile handling ensures that every fraction of a watt you put into the pedals propels you forward, no matter how steep the gradient. Because gravity sucks, and we're on your side...
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...
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.
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.
