Cube Litening AERO C:68X SLX oceanfibre´n´prizm
Product information "Litening AERO C:68X SLX oceanfibre´n´prizm"
The Litening AERO C:68X SLX's blend of low weight, long-haul comfort and wind tunnel-tested, UCI-compliant aerodynamics gives you a head start that is sure to make a tangible difference to your results. A Newmen Allround 49/54 Vonoa wheelset wrapped with 28 mm Continental Grand Prix 5000 S-TR tyres combines aerodynamic design with low weight. Meanwhile, Sram's Red 2x12 wireless AXS groupset puts a wide gear range and awesome stopping power at your fingertips – and, with its integrated power meter, performance can be monitored at all times. Put it all together with a frame and fork set-up that's 150 g lighter and up to 6 watts more efficient than before, and it's a great recipe for helping you break free of the bunch.

FRAME: CUBE Litening AERO C:68X Pro
Here at CUBE, a challenge means building a race bike that's as aero as possible within UCI rules, exactly the kind of thing that drives the development of the Litening AERO frame. Built with 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. Around 150g lighter than before for frame and fork, to be precise. And reduced drag by up to 6 watts. Those are differences you can see in your results. With a CUBE IC Aero Max Cockpit, redesigned aero seatpost, 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 needed to race, faster.

Technologies
Flex seatpost
The Flex seatpost noticeably reduces vibrations and bumps, offering around 10% more comfort than a conventional seatpost. At the same time, its aero profile ensures optimum efficiency.
C:68X® Carbon Fibre Technology
C:68X® carbon technology combines extensive expertise in carbon frame construction with an optimal blend of carbon fibres and resin-infused nanoparticles. Thanks to the precise Advanced Twin Mold manufacturing process, there is no need for bonded sleeves or inserts. The result: an exceptionally light, stiff and durable chassis.
Integrated seatpost clamp
With its minimalist design, the integrated seatpost clamp blends seamlessly into the understated frame design whilst saving a few grams in weight. The result is a clean, uncluttered look combined with optimised performance.
Full internal cable routing
With full internal cable routing, all cables run inside the frame and handlebars. This ensures a clean look and uninterrupted lines, improves aerodynamics and protects the cables from damage. At the same time, it reduces the need for maintenance.
UCI-compliant
All road bikes designed for racing fully comply with UCI guidelines in terms of design and construction. This means they are designed for competition use in accordance with the rules, allowing riders to focus fully on achieving maximum performance.
Aero-Optimised Geometry
Extensive wind tunnel testing, complex CFD analyses and feedback from athletes form the basis of Aero Optimised Geometry. It reduces drag and combines high speed with stable yet agile handling.
Cycle computer mount
The clean, unobtrusive mount holds the cycle computer securely and firmly in place on the bike. This ensures that performance data remains visible at all times and can be reliably recorded and accessed.
UDH
The Universal Derailleur Hanger allows for easy replacement of the derailleur hanger and, as a standardised component, is compatible with all drivetrains. In the event of hard impacts to the rear derailleur, the derailleur hanger can move backwards, thereby protecting against chain jams. At the same time, it optimises gear changes.
Advanced Twin Mold
The Advanced Twin Mold process utilises two precision moulds. The first ensures an exact lay-up, whilst the inner core holds each individual fibre in its intended position during curing. The result is a particularly lightweight and stable chassis with a specifically tailored fibre density at high-stress nodes.
