When every second counts - whether it's towards a podium finish or a personal best - you need a bike with uncompromising attention to detail. That's where our Litening C:62 Race comes in. The stunning performance of its stiff, light carbon frame matched with the unrivalled reliablity of Shimano's Dura Ace components means you'll extract the maximum possible performance from every pedal stroke, time after time.

Frame: These days everyone has a carbon frame in their range - but not all carbon frames are created equal. The C:62 chassis uses our Monocoque Advanced Twin Mould technology, which enables our engineers to use the minimum possible material where it matters most. The result is a frame that's incredibly stiff, light, strong and durable - but also surprisingly comfortable. It's the perfect match for our CUBE CSL C:62 Litening carbon fork, which quietens road vibrations while providing uncannily accurate steering. And the handling, as you'd expect from a performance bike, is exemplary: stable when you need it, lithe and agile when you're pushing your limits.

Features: The devil really is in the detail. That's why you'll find premium quality components like Selle Italia's Flite MG saddle and a CUBE Wing Race carbon handlebar, alongside Mavic's stiff, light and strong Ksyrium Elite wheelset. These are the icing on the cake; the main meal, of course, is a full complement of Shimano's new-for-2017 Dura Ace components. With an 11 speed 11-28 tooth cassette and 52/36 tooth chainrings, it offers an exceptional gear range and the kind of flawless reliablity that you'd expect from the groupset that finds its way into many pro pelotons.
