But beyond the name, quite a lot of this prototype has been reshaped. The first thing we would possibly surmise is that Cube is keeping the Litening name for this dramatically redesigned road race bike, thanks to the Litening TE labels painted on the prototypes’ toptubes. So I got a bit of a closer look at the new bike… tucked in hidden behind the current Litening, which I rode when it debuted back in 2019… Prototype Development & Testing c.
