Cube Litening AERO C:68X SLX Goblin´n´yellow

Tinkering is CUBE’s passion – and with the CUBE Litening AERO C:68X SLX they have lived this passion to the fullest. The bike was developed with the help of complex CFD analysis and wind tunnel testing, which means: its ingeniously designed, UCI-compliant frame and innovative components were designed for extreme speed. For that one crucial hundredth of a second advantage!

Featherweight and UCI-compliant carbon road bike: the CUBE Litening AERO C:68X SLX

Not all race bikes are created equal. The Litening C:68X SL’s blend of low weight, long-haul comfort and wind-cheating aerodynamics gives you a head start that’s entirely UCI-compliant. A Mavic Cosmic SLR 45 wheelset blends wind-cheating design with light weight.

Thanks to the Sram’s Red 2×12 wireless AXS groupset, speed fans benefit from a wide gear range and awesome stopping power at the touch of a fingertip. Carbon comfort, 30% reduced frame drag and fastidious attention to detail means there’s no better way to break free of the bunch.

FRAME CUBE Litening C:68X SLX

Rules are rules – and they’re not always meant to be broken, because 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 CUBE’s 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.

Technologies

Advanced Twin Mold
CUBE’s Advanced Twin Mold process for the C:62®, C:68® and C:68X® carbon frames uses two precisely manufactured forms. 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.

C:68X® Carbon Fiber Technology
Combining CUBE’s entire 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 eliminates bonded sleeves or inserts. It’s the new benchmark for light, stiff and strong.

Full Internal Cable Routing
Full Internal Cable Routing takes the clutter of external cables and consigns it to the past. CUBE has 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!

UCI compliant
Rules are rules – and they’re not always meant to be broken, because a race bike needs to conform in order to qualify for UCI-sanctioned races. CUBE knows that, which is why all of their road race bikes that could be used for racing are fully compliant with UCI regulations on bicycle design and construction. CUBE has created a full range of high performance machines that follow the rules, so you can just concentrate on your performance.

AERO Optimized Geometry
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 CUBE’s 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.

Garmin Mount
CUBE knows that you want to keep track of your performance stats. It’s important, which is why they designed a neat, unobtrusive mount for your Garmin. Now you can record and access data wherever you ride, safe in the knowledge that your Garmin unit is securely mounted and out of harm’s way.

One Piece Carbon Cockpit
Weight matters when you’re chasing every fraction of a second. That’s why CUBE’s 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.
