Rules are rules. A race bike needs to conform in order to qualify for UCI-sanctioned races. But designing a frame that's significantly more slippery through the air, without breaking the rules? That's completely legit. The Litening C:68X's lightweight carbon chassis - built with our premium C:68X material - was designed with extensive use of Computer Fluid Dynamics and real-world wind tunnel testing. The result is a significant 30% reduction in drag, in a fully UCI-compliant frame that elegantly integrates fork, stem, handlebar and seatpost. It's also extremely comfortable, power meter-ready and has clearance for tyres up to 28mm. But most of all, it's very, very fast.

System weight tableAt CUBE we understand that every second counts. It's the reason that, with the Litening C:68X Race, we've built a UCI-compliant race bike around a frame that's reduced drag by 30%. Newmen Advanced STREEM wheels feature aero profiles with a shallower profile at the front, to reduce the effect of crosswinds. Shimano's new Ultegra Di2 2x12 transmission is sleek, wide-ranging and incredibly reliable. And matching Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes allow you to go faster, because you can brake later. No doubt about it: it's quick. Are you up for it?
