Cube Litening C:68 SLT Super Record Carbon Road Bike 2016

This is a two-wheeled machine that sets new standards in both looks and performance.

With beautiful looks and state-of-the-art carbon technology the Litening C: 68 SLT features innovative tube shapes and Cube's Monocoque Advanced Twin Mould production technique.

This unique design reduces the weight of the frame to a sensational 850 grams and increases both stiffness and comfort.

It's also equipped with a dynamic C: 68 full carbon fork, with the slim legs allowing the rider to steer accurately through the tightest gaps whilst also offering incredible vibration absorption. For this range-topping SLT model, Cube opted the legendary Campagnolo Super Record.

Mavic's Ksyrium Pro Carbone SL wheelset is a perfect match, buzzing over the Tarmac with their unique combination of superb aerodynamics, strong acceleration and incredibly low weight.

This exceptional perfectionists' bike with is finished off with superior carbon Syntace finishing components and an exclusive Fi'zi: k Antares R3 carbon saddle. Improving on perfection? It can't be done.

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, Cube has the ability to 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: Full Di2 Integration can be achieved by fitting the Dura Ace Di2 battery completely within the frame. The Shimano junction box can be 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 employs this surface treatment technology mainly to save weight.
