Not all race bikes are created equal. The Litening AERO C:68X SLX’s blend of low weight, long-haul comfort and wind-cheating aerodynamics gives you a head start that’s entirely UCI-compliant. A Newmen Streem Aero/Sprint 60/66 Vonoa wheelset combines aerodynamic design with light weight, while Sram’s Red 2×12 wireless AXS groupset puts a wide gear range and awesome stopping power at your fingertips – complete with integrated power meter, so you’re in full control. Carbon comfort, 30% reduced frame drag and fastidious attention to detail mean there’s no better way to break free of the bunch..
Frame description
Rules are rules. A race bike needs to conform in order to qualify for UCI-sanctioned races. But designing a frame that’s significantly more slippery through the air, without breaking the rules? That’s completely legit. The Litening AERO C:68X’s lightweight carbon chassis – built with our premium C:68X® material – was designed with extensive use of Computer Fluid Dynamics and real-world wind tunnel testing. The result is a significant 30% reduction in drag, in a fully UCI-compliant frame that elegantly integrates fork, stem, handlebar and seatpost. It’s also extremely comfortable and has clearance for tyres up to 28mm. But most of all, it’s very, very fast.
