Description
CUBE LITENING AIR C:68X RACE LIQUIDRED 50 cm
As aero as possible, as light as possible and fully UCI-compliant: that's the Litening AIR C:68X Race. Built around our brand-new ultra-light carbon frame, we started with Shimano's Ultegra Di2 components and a compact chainset. Newmen Advanced wheels shod with Continental Grand Prix tyres and super-light Schwalbe Aerothan tubes get your power down to the road. And the light, comfortable full carbon fork complements the exceptional performance of the C:68X carbon frame. It's ready to race. Are you?
Frame description
An aero bike that reduces wind resistance is great, but a race bike should also – of course – be as light as possible. So, with the brand-new Litening Air C:68X, we worked with Team Wanty 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 it's still slippery through the air 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!
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.
