The Litening AIR C:68X SLT takes the UCI rulebook on weight and frame design and transforms it into an ultralight, aero-sleek carbon race machine whose very essence is speed. From the carbon-spoked, carbon-rimmed Newmen Streem Climbing 35/38 Vonoa wheels to the carefully honed frame tube profiles, every detail is focussed on shaving seconds. Shimano's range-topping Dura-Ace Di2 components – with built-in 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
An aero 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 C:68X, we worked with Team Wanty 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 it's still slippery through the air 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!
