Cube Litening Review
There is just one color scheme for the Cube Litening – green and black on the carbon fiber frame. The frame has a nice, beefy bottom tube, a sturdy looking lower bracket, and very slim seatstays. An Ultegra gearing system does its job exceptionally well.
Overall, the Litening has one goal – to find the perfect balance between comfort and speed. It actually comes very close to this, simply by having a nice, compact frame with a decent amount of flex to it. The bike makes use of 25mm Schwalbe One tires, which we actually prefer because it means that the bike can be ridden with lower pressure in the tires.
The seatpost also emphasizes on being slim at 27mm. This look pretty great when placed next to the large, fat bottom tube. However, the frame and the bike in general are very well designed, especially in terms of aerodynamics.
The Litening is able to zoom along most roads with ease, as the frame emphasizes on being lightweight and durable at the same time. It is a lot of fun to ride, with very little to complain about.
+Pros:
- Great design and colors
- Good gearing and components
- Aerodynamic features
- High speed with good comfort
-Cons:
- Handlebars tend to drop a little more than necessary
The Verdict
A lightning fast bike with the capacity to do anything you ask it to without question. The Cube Litening is a bicycle that has little in the way of bad and a whole lot of good.
We had a ton of fun during our review of the Cube Litening, and came out of it with the conclusion that this bike is a responsive, stable and well-designed machine that can have its moments, although rare.
Built from Cube’s in-house C:68X carbon, this super-fast and impressively lightweight road bike soars across the asphalt with superb strength and stability and unrivalled aerodynamics. Rigid and responsive in all the right places, the monocoque frame deals brilliantly with the pressures and impacts of pacy riding. Lightweight and Rapid-Rolling, Carbon-Made Road Bike This agile Litening model comes equipped with elite-level components to give you the edge as you fight for the finish line. The Shimano Ultegra Di2 drivetrain and hydraulic disc brake combination lets you ride with unmatched control and composure from start to finish. With a HollowTech II crankset on hand to give a superior pedalling performance, the quality shines through on every inch of this daringly dynamic roadster. Perched on a Newmen Evolution wheelset, no road ride is too intimidating for this quality-built Cube.
