CHALLENGING
GRAVITY

An aero bike that reduces wind resistance is great, but a race bike should also – of course – be as light as possible. So, with the Litening® AIR, we worked with Team Intermarché-Wanty to develop a frame from our premium C:68X® carbon that combines the best of both worlds. At around 799g for a mid-sized frame it's svelte enough to easily build a UCI-compliant 7.1kg bike, but it's still slippery through the air and comfortable for long days in the saddle. The overall weight saving on a classic road bike is a difference you can clearly feel – and see in your results!

Highlights

When you've put in the hours of training, there are only two things that can hold you back: weight, and wind resistance. With its sophisticated C:68X® carbon frame and UCI-compliant aero credentials, the Litening AIR C:68X Pro is the bike you've been looking for to get you to the front of the group.

Speed is everything in racing, which is why the Litening AIR C:68X Pro combines an incredibly light frame with aero design. But that's just the start. Sram's Force AXS electronic 2x12 gears deliver your power to the road – and the built-in power meter means you can keep an eye on exactly how much effort you're expending. Lightweight Newmen Streem Climbing 35/38 wheels shod with 30mm Continental tyres are fast to accelerate, whilst Sram Force AXS hydraulic disc brakes give you the power you need to brake late and hard. Put it all together, and you'll be posting new personal bests right off the line.

Litening C:68X® Air Monocoque Advanced Twin Mold Technology, Aero-Weight Optimized Tubes, Full Internal Cable Routing, Flat Mount Disc

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.

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...

Weight matters when you're chasing every fraction of a second. That's why our one-piece carbon cockpit has been carefully designed to mimic the range of riding positions available with a traditional stem and handlebar combo, but with a substantial weight saving. Light, strong and elegant, it's another way of making every watt count.

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.
