Cube Litening Air C:68X Race
Cube Litening Air C:68X Race
Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- The frame weight of 7.4 kilograms makes this bike agile and light.
- As the aerodynamic frame construction lowers drag, cycling at higher speeds requires less power.
- The tubeless-ready carbon wheels and tyres increase comfort and reduce the risk of getting a flat tyre.
- The stiff carbon construction may transfer vibrations more strongly on poor road surfaces but does increase direct power transfer.
- The use of specific integrated cockpit parts makes replacing or customising these less easy but allows the bike to have clean aerodynamic lines.

The Cube Litening Air C:68X Race bike combines a lightweight and aerodynamic frame with a powerful and accurate electronic shifting system. This road bike offers a balanced mix of speed and control, making every ride feel smooth and efficient. With high-quality components and a sleek design, it is suitable for those who value both performance and comfort.
Frame and geometry
The frame of the Litening Air C:68X road bike is made using Advanced Twin Mold technology and aero-weight optimised tubes. This combination results in a stiff and lightweight frame that reduces drag without compromising on stability. The geometry makes for high steering responsiveness and a comfortable riding position, suitable for long distances and high speeds. Full internal cable routing contributes to the bike's sleek appearance and protects the cables from the elements and other external hazards.
Groupset and brakes
The bike is equipped with Shimano's Ultegra Di2 12-speed electronic groupset, which provides accurate and instant gear shifting action. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes offer consistent stopping power in various conditions, enhancing control in dry as well as wet weather and on descents. With a wide range of 11-34 teeth on the cassette, riding flat stretches and hilly routes comfortably is absolutely possible.
Other parts for excellent performance
The Cube Litening Air C:68X features a tubeless-ready Newmen Streem carbon wheelset with Continental Grand Prix 5000 S-TR tyres with Kevlar. These tyres offer high grip and rolling comfort on different road surfaces. The aero-optimised cockpit with integrated cable routing and a Garmin mount allows for easy attachment of accessories without interfering with aerodynamics. The carbon seatpost with comfort flex and the lightweight ACID Nuance SLT saddle further increase riding comfort.
