Description
CUBE LITENING AERO C:68X SLT PRIZMBLUE 2023 54 cm
You've put in the miles, honed your training regime to perfection, and now it's time to race. The Litening C:68X SLT is the bike you'll need. Built around our high-tech carbon aero chassis with 30% drag reduction, we fitted Shimano's Dura Ace 2x12 Di2 groupset – with a power meter – so that you have precise gear changes and powerful braking literally at your fingertips. A Newmen Advanced STREEM wheelset with a lower profile up front gives superb handling, even in windy conditions. And the bike's low overall weight and day-long comfort help ensure you'll perform at your peak, hour after hour.
Frame description
Rules are rules. 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 our 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.
Find your size!
Enter your height and inseam below and click on 'Calculate my frame size' to see which size you need. You measure your inseam as follows:
1. Stand barefoot with your heels against the wall. Place your feet about 6 inches apart.
2. Grab a book and place it between your legs, with the short side of the book against the wall. Press the book up against your crotch, mimicking the idea of a bicycle saddle.
3. Measure the length from the top of the book to the floor, the distance you measure is your inseam.
