The Cube Litening AERO C:68X Pro 2027 bike featured here at Escapa is a road bike designed for racing, maintaining high speeds, and turning every watt into forward momentum. Its C:68X carbon frame combines aerodynamic profiles, light weight, and full integration to deliver outstanding performance in races, fast training sessions, and demanding rides.
This Pro version rounds out its racing package with the SRAM Force AXS E1 electronic drivetrain, an integrated power meter, Newmen Streem 49/54 carbon wheels, and 30 mm Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR tires. The result is a fast, precise bike that’s ready to race from day one.
Lighter and More Aerodynamic C:68X Frame
The Litening C:68X Aero Monocoque frame was developed using computational fluid dynamics simulations and wind tunnel testing. The new construction reduces the combined weight of the frame and fork by approximately 150 grams compared to the previous generation, while also lowering aerodynamic drag by up to 6 watts.
The frame has a claimed weight of 980 grams and features aerodynamically optimized tubes, fully internal cable routing, Flat Mount brakes, a 12x142 mm rear axle, and a universal derailleur hanger (UDH). It also accommodates tires up to 34 mm wide.
C:68X Carbon and Advanced Twin Mold Technology
C:68X carbon is one of Cube’s most advanced materials. It combines selected fibers with a nanoparticle-reinforced resin to achieve a lightweight, stiff, and durable structure.
The Advanced Twin Mold process uses precision inner and outer molds to keep each fiber in the correct position during curing. This allows the carbon density to be adjusted according to the loads on each area, reducing unnecessary material and resulting in a more efficient structure.
Cube IC Aero Integrated Cockpit
The Cube IC Aero carbon Cockpit integrates the handlebars and stem into a single piece to reduce weight, improve front-end stiffness, and minimize drag. Fully internal routing hides cables and hoses, providing a clean, aerodynamic front end.
The system features aerodynamic spacers and an interface for mounting a Garmin bike computer. Additionally, the frame is compatible with Cube’s one-piece integrated cockpits, making it easy to choose the right size.
SRAM Force AXS E1 Electronic Drivetrain
The SRAM Force AXS E1 2x12 drivetrain provides fast, precise, and customizable wireless shifting. Its electronic operation eliminates shift cables and helps maintain a minimalist aesthetic in the Cockpit.
The SRAM Force AXS E1 crankset features a power meter integrated into the spider, allowing you to measure power and analyze performance during training and races. The gearing combination features 50/37-tooth chainrings paired with a 10-36T cassette, offering speed on the flats and a wide range to tackle climbs.
SRAM Force AXS Hydraulic Brakes
The SRAM Force AXS E1 HRD hydraulic disc brakes offer powerful, progressive, and controllable stopping power. The 160 mm rotors front and rear provide consistent response on descents, fast corners, and in varying weather conditions.
Their Flat Mount design enhances integration with the frame and maintains the bike’s aerodynamic lines.
Newmen Streem A.49/54 Carbon Wheels
The Newmen Streem A.49/54 carbon wheels feature a differentiated profile of 49 mm on the front wheel and 54 mm on the rear. This combination aims to balance front-end stability with greater aerodynamic efficiency at the rear.
The wheel set features through-axles, Center Lock mounting, and Tubeless Ready compatibility. The front wheel has 21 spokes and the rear has 24, offering a construction geared toward speed and race performance.
Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR 30 mm
The Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR 700x30C tires provide an excellent combination of speed, grip, and comfort. Their Tubeless Ready construction allows for tire pressures tailored to the rider’s weight and the Terreno, improving contact with the road and reducing the risk of pinch flats.
The frame accommodates tires up to 34 mm wide, allowing you to prioritize aerodynamics with narrower tires or increase comfort and stability on uneven roads.
Comfort Flex Seatpost
The Litening C:68X Aero Comfort Flex seatpost combines an aerodynamic profile with controlled flex. According to Cube, this construction provides approximately 10% more comfort than a conventional seatpost, helping to absorb some of the vibrations generated by the road surface.
It’s paired with the Acid Nuance SLT Carbon saddle, a lightweight option designed to maintain a sporty riding position during prolonged rides.
