A 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 pro peloton riders 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 – with details like Full Internal Cable Routing, careful tube profiles and our IC Aero One-Piece Carbon Cockpit – it's still slippery through the air, incredibly good at translating pedalling into forward progress, 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!

It's appropriate, really, that our lightweight, aero-enhanced speed machine should feature a liquidblue'n'crisscross colour scheme – the grid pattern hints at both contour lines and the underlying C:68X® carbon structure. But it's the detail that really matters. Built to break out and lead, this is the bike that you've earned through hours of road miles. It's ready whenever you are.
