Lightweight frame with advanced carbon technology
Significant aerodynamic efficiency improvements
Stiff and direct handling for fast acceleration
Aggressive and distinctive aero styling
High-quality build spec for the price
Firm ride quality may not suit all riders
Proprietary components limit adjustability
Some models come with less optimal wheel and tyre specs
Move over oil slick, Cube’s Limited Edition Litening C:68X is more like rainbow slick.
BikerumorIt’s a bike that wants to be ridden fast.
Cycling WeeklyThe Litening is nothing short of badass. If it were a person, it would have a mohican and wear leather mitts with spikes on the knuckles.
