With a price tag of 7599 EUR, this bike offers a combination of aerodynamics, lightweight construction and precise shifting performance.

The frame of the Litening AERO C:68X SLT consists of the Litening C:68X® Aero Monocoque Advanced Twin Mold Technology, which ensures aero-optimised tubes and complete internal cable routing. This design not only contributes to aerodynamic efficiency, but also to a clean and tidy appearance. The frame supports flat mount disc brakes and is designed for a permissible total weight of 115 kg, while the bike itself weighs just 7 kg.

Braking performance is provided by the Shimano Dura Ace BR-R9270 hydraulic disc brake system with flat mount (160/160), which enables reliable and powerful braking manoeuvres. Shifting is provided by the electronic Shimano Dura Ace Di2 RD-R9250-D with 12 gears, complemented by the Shimano Dura Ace Di2 FD-R9250-F front derailleur. These components offer precise and fast shifting performance, which is particularly advantageous in intensive riding conditions.

The bike's fork, the Litening C:68X® Aero, is also aerodynamically optimised and features integrated cable routing and flat mount disc brakes. The bottom bracket is the Shimano SM-BB71-41B with 86 mm press fit, while the crankset is the Shimano Dura Ace FC-R9200-P with power meter and Hollowtech II technology, equipped with 52x36T chainrings. The sprocket consists of the Shimano Dura Ace CS-R9200 with a gradation of 11-30T and the drivetrain is completed by the Shimano CN-M9100 chain.

The ACID Bartape RD handlebar tape and the ACROS headset (top integrated 1 1/8", bottom integrated 1 1/4") provide additional comfort and control. The tyres are Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless Easy in size 28-622, which are mounted on the Newmen Advanced SL R.50/65 Streem Carbon wheelset.

The saddle of the Litening AERO C:68X SLT is the Natural Fit Nuance SLT Road Carbon, which is mounted on a Litening C:68X® Aero seatpost with Comfort Flex. The saddle is clamped using the CUBE Full Integrated Aero Clamp, which ensures seamless integration and an aerodynamic shape.

All in all, the Cube Litening AERO C:68X SLT prizmblue'n'black offers an impressive package of aerodynamic efficiency, lightweight construction and high-precision components that is suitable for both ambitious racers and passionate hobby riders.
