Cube Litening C:68 SL Dura Ace Road Bike
The frame comes perilously close to breaking the magic 850g-weight barrier and with Cube's choice of the finest components - including the entire Dura Ace Di2 groupset and a Fulcrum Racing 44 Aero wheelset - there's practically no room for future upgrades! If you want to be the best, there's no room for compromise.
The Litening C: 68 SL frame Cube uses the latest C: 68 carbon technology, optimised frame tube shapes, and Cube's C: 68 Monocoque Advanced Twin Mould production process.
The stretched geometry creates an incredibly efficient riding position for rapid forward progress, but keeps the handling agile.
Also included is Cube's Litening C: 68 fork, which combines the best possible comfort, incredible steering precision, and a very low weight.
Only the very best is good enough for the Litening C: 68 SL.
That's why Cube chose Shimano's fully integrated electronic Dura Ace group with 2x11 transmission driven through a 52x36T chainset. Rider contact points from the FSA SL-K cockpit and Selle Italia Flite saddle mounted on a carbon post combine superb ergonomics and excellent comfort, even on the longest race stages.

As with the Twin Mould technology, precise inserts are used to ensure extra strength at high-stress frame points. This combination offers maximum control over fibre orientations during the lay-up and production process.
The Advanced Twin Mould high-tech carbon manufacturing process translates to outstanding product safety and quality together with optimum weight and stiffness characteristics C: 68 Carbon Fibre Technology: Cube's highly innovative new C: 68 carbon fibre technology allows us to build better bikes than ever.
Typically, carbon fibre frames are around 60% carbon fibre, with the rest being the resin that bonds the fibres together. By distributing carbon fibres evenly, we can make thinner layers within the frame and reduce the amount of resin.
The result is a range of frames with 68% carbon fibre, lower weight, higher stiffness and more fun Integrated Cable Routing: Internally routed cables offer many advantages.
Cables are protected from dirt for longer life, weight is saved thanks to the absence of external housing and the bike has a clean, sleek appearance X12 Through Axle: In this system, a cone is used to form a play-free connection. It is only necessary to tighten the axle from one side. The wheel is positioned by an insert in the right-hand dropout, which is then secured by a bolt.
The main advantages of the Syntace system are quick and simple changing of the wheel, reliable position of the brake disc and higher stiffness of the rear of the bike.
This allows the assembly to be made lighter than a conventional through-axle Full DI2 Integration: Through the full Di2 Integration the Dura Ace Di2 battery is completely fitted within the frame. The Shimano junction box is placed aerodynamically in the stem, which makes charging and servicing a lot easier as it can be done via the junction in the stem.
Another distinct feature is that it can be easily dismounted and mounted for transporting the bike.
Wet Paint Surface: On polished, brushed aluminium and all HPC frames, the logos and graphics are applied in multi-layer wet paint. Cube use this surface treatment technology mainly to save weight.
