Lightweight, Proven Performance

The flagship AD9 is an aero race bike designed for speed, efficiency and WorldTour competition. It uses advanced Toray T1100 and M40X carbon fiber with aerodynamic shaping tested in the wind tunnel at Silverstone in the UK. Riders get aggressive race geometry, integrated cockpit design and stable handling at high speeds. The AD9 has proven its performance as the race bike of the XDS Astana WorldTour team. The AD8 uses the same geometry and aero frame shape, just with a more economical T800 carbon fiber type and components.

Top Level Components

XDS X-LAB bikes come equipped with the latest Shimano groupsets, with the AD9 almost exclusively built with DURA-ACE components. Alongside it, the AD8 offers a more accessible performance platform while still focusing on speed and modern road design with Shimano 105 components. Both come off the shelf with a Branta power meter crankset, a critical tool for effective training and race day analytics. Together, the AD9 and AD8 show XDS X-LAB’s focus on race performance, while keeping the price point from becoming stratospheric.

Gravel Adventures

Along with the AD9 and AD8, XDS X-LAB also offers the GT8, a full carbon gravel bike. It combines wide tire clearance, carbon wheels and multiple accessory mounts for true all around performance. This setup handles everything from racing to backcountry adventures. It also includes a power meter crankset as standard, so you can track your effort on every ride.

Warranty

XDS backs its X-LAB frames, forks and Branta carbon wheelsets with a lifetime warranty once registered. This is on-par with the best warranty support available.
