Description
CUBE LITENING AIR C:68X SLT CAR/RAINBOW 50 cm
The Litening AIR C:68X SLT takes the UCI rulebook on weight and frame design and transforms it into an ultralight, aero-sleek carbon race machine whose very essence is speed. From the carbon-spoked, carbon-rimmed Newmen Advanced wheels to the super-light Schwalbe Aerothan inner tubes and carefully honed frame tube profiles, every detail is focussed on shaving seconds. Shimano's range-topping Dura Ace Di2 components – with built-in power meter – transfer your power to the road and bring you safely to a stop. There's fast, and there's very rapid indeed. Guess which one this bike is?
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 6.6kg 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.
