Cube Litening Aero C:68X Race 2027 Bike

Here at Cube we love a challenge, so building a race bike that's as aero as possible within UCI rules is exactly the kind of thing that we relish. And here's the result: the Litening AERO frame. Built with our 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 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 you need to race, faster.

When your bike's frame is built from premium Cube C:68X® carbon, you might as well shout about it. That's why the Litening AERO C:68X Race's carbon'n'chrome finish with white decals on a classic matte black background wears its high-tech weave proudly. Backed up with race-proven components and a design that's as aero as it can be within UCI regulations, it's your guarantee of blisteringly quick performance out on the road.
