Ultra-Light C:68X® Carbon Race Frame

At the heart of the Litening Air is Cube’s advanced C:68X® carbon frame, weighing approximately 799g (mid-size). This ultra-light construction allows riders to build a UCI-compliant race bike around 7.3kg, giving you a significant advantage on climbs and long-distance races. The lightweight design maximises power transfer, acceleration, and overall efficiency, making it an ideal professional-level road racing bike.


Aerodynamic Design for Maximum Speed

The Litening Air blends cutting-edge aerodynamic shaping with minimal weight to reduce drag and improve efficiency at high speeds. The result is a fast aero road bike that slices through the wind while maintaining the nimble responsiveness required for aggressive racing and fast group rides.


Shimano Ultegra Di2 Electronic Groupset with Power Meter

Equipped with the Shimano Ultegra Di2 Groupset, the Litening Air C:68X Race provides precision electronic shifting, smooth gear changes, and outstanding reliability in all riding conditions. The integrated power meter chainset allows riders to monitor performance metrics and train more effectively, making this an excellent choice for competitive cyclists focused on measurable improvements.

Lightweight Carbon Fork for Comfort and Control

A full carbon fork complements the C:68X frame, offering excellent vibration damping and precise handling. This ensures a smooth and controlled ride even on long training rides, sportives, or demanding race courses.


The Cube Litening Air C:68X Race is built for riders who want elite-level performance, lightweight climbing ability, and aerodynamic efficiency in a single race-ready machine. Whether you're chasing podium finishes or personal bests, this bike is designed to help you ride faster than ever.
