Cube's 2027 bike portfolio goes big on value and includes the most affordable Tour de France race bike yet

Cube Litening Aero C:68X 2027 road bike.

When Van Rysel launched the RCR Pro, it garnered plenty of attention as the most affordable bike in the professional peloton. And now it has some fresh competition. Cube’s 2027 collection features the redesigned Litening Aero C:68X, which was ridden by the TotalEnergies team in this year’s Tour de France.

With the range starting at under £5,000, and a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2-equipped model retailing at £7,499, it makes a strong bid for the most affordable ride in the pro ranks.
