LITENING AIR C:68X SLT

LITENING AIR C:68X

The Litening AIR C:68X SLT takes the UCI rulebook on weight and frame design and translates it into an ultralight, super-efficient carbon race machine whose very essence is speed. From the carbon-spoked, carbon-rimmed Newmen Streem Allround 49/54 Vonoa wheels – shod with 28mm Conti GP5000 S TR tyres – to the carefully honed frame tube profiles, Full Internal Cable Routing and IC Aero handlebar, every detail is focussed on shaving seconds. And Shimano’s range-topping Dura-Ace Di2 components – including a crankset with 4iiii power meter – transfer your power to the road and bring you safely to a stop. There’s fast, and there’s very rapid indeed. Guess which one this bike is?

Frame description
A bike that reduces wind resistance is great, but a race bike should also – of course – be as light as possible. So, with the Litening AIR, we worked with pro peloton riders to develop a frame from our premium C:68X® carbon that combines the best of both worlds. At around 799g for a mid-sized frame it’s svelte enough to easily build a UCI-compliant 7.1kg bike, but – with details like Full Internal Cable Routing, careful tube profiles and our IC Aero One-Piece Carbon Cockpit – it’s still slippery through the air, incredibly good at translating pedalling into forward progress, and comfortable for long days in the saddle. The overall weight saving on a classic road bike is a difference you can clearly feel – and see in your results!
