CUBE LITENING AERO C:68X RACE ROAD BIKE 2025 BLACKLINE

The fastest, sleekest way to cut through the air on two wheels is here.

At CUBE we know that every second counts. That's why, with the Litening AERO C:68X Race, we've built a UCI-compliant race bike around a frame that's reduced drag by 30% – and fitted a Shimano Ultegra crankset with a built-in power meter, so you're always in the picture. Newmen Streem Aero/Sprint 60/66 wheels feature aero profiles with a shallower profile at the front to reduce the effect of crosswinds. Shimano's Ultegra Di2 2x12 gears are wide-ranging and incredibly reliable. And matching Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes allow you to go even faster, because you can brake later. No doubt about it – it's fast.
