However, I’d say the ride wasn’t as harsh as it had the potential to be. ![]() I did find that the bike transmitted a noticeable amount of feedback from the road, which I would attribute to the sheer amount of carbon in the areas directly below both the seatpost and cockpit. This, the brand claims, helps minimise the amount of resin required, which reduces weight. Spread-tow is a weave known for its high stiffness-to-weight because it needs less resin to bind it than other fibre weaves.Ĭube also says the frame is made using ‘twin-mould technology’ – two solid moulds instead of inflatable bladders. The lacquer helps reveal Cube’s layup techniques, one of which is the use of spread-tow carbon to help construct the fork and bottom bracket and head tube junctions. This is the fourth-tier model in the range but it uses the same frame as the top-tier one.Ĭube claims a 980g frame weight thanks to its use of an updated blend of six types of carbon fibre. The bike’s 7.87kg weight, though pretty chunky, is reasonable for the price, and is made possible by the high-quality frame. Luckily the Litening’s extreme looks, which hark back to classic aero bikes, don’t recreate the heavy and harsh ride attributes of those old designs. The time refining the Litening’s shape has definitely been well spent. Considering the depth of the bike’s tubes, Cube has done an admirable job of keeping the frontal profile small.ĭespite fully internal cable routing, the Litening’s head tube is elegantly scalloped in between the headset bearings, the tops of the bars are dramatically squashed and elongated, and the fork legs and crown are exceptionally svelte. The bike is as stiff as it looks and feels quick, generating the impression that it can keep accelerating way beyond the point at which most bikes hit their peak. While most modern aero bikes are being toned down, the Litening harks back to a time when speed was the only priority. It looks ready to tear up the road, to a degree that almost makes me nostalgic. If it were a person, it would have a mohican and wear leather mitts with spikes on the knuckles. To buy the Cube Litening, visit Tredz here. This bike is so shapely – apparently pushing UCI frame regulations right up to their limit in several places – it looks as though Cube has placed a block of carbon in a force 10 gale and simply allowed the wind to carve it into shape. ![]() So when I got up close and personal with the Litening and was able to properly appraise its exotic-looking C:68X carbon layup and extreme tube profiles, I have to say I was taken aback.Ĭube claims the frameset is the product of 100 hours in the wind-tunnel and 1,000 hours of computational fluid dynamics, and I can believe it. I’ll admit that my view of Cube has always been as a brand that makes good-value bikes rather than high-performance ones. ![]()
