X-LAB by XDS.
Engineered in-house.

Road and gravel bicycles shaped by vertically integrated manufacturing, precision testing and development at WorldTour level.

Performance bicycles by XDS

Control from material to complete bike.

XDS describes a vertically integrated approach spanning raw materials, carbon and alloy production, moulding, assembly and testing. X-LAB is its performance range, developed for road, gravel and off-road use.

01

In-house engineering

Frame development and manufacturing remain connected, allowing design, production and testing to inform each other.

02

Precision production

Automation, alignment checks and quality-control systems aim to deliver repeatable construction at scale.

03

Race feedback

The XDS Astana WorldTour relationship provides a demanding environment for product development and validation.

Why vertical integration matters.

XDS says its manufacturing capability includes carbon fibre, aluminium and magnesium processing, alongside moulding, curing, alignment and testing. Keeping these stages connected can shorten feedback loops and make production control more consistent.

Materials

Carbon lay-up and alloy choices are selected around weight, stiffness, durability and the intended ride.

Manufacture

Controlled moulding, curing, machining and assembly turn a design into a repeatable production bicycle.

Testing

Laboratory checks and real-world riding help identify whether the finished platform meets its design purpose.

Technology still needs the right rider match.

Geometry, size, position, components and intended use remain essential when choosing between models.

Current performance range

Start with what you want the bike to do.

Model ranges evolve. These short summaries explain the current positioning rather than replacing a test ride, fit assessment or full specification check.

AD9

Aero race

The flagship aerodynamic road platform, developed around speed, integration and race-level responsiveness.

AD8

Accessible aero

Race-inspired aerodynamics and handling in a platform intended to work across fast group rides, training and events.

RT9

Lightweight climbing

A low-mass road platform focused on climbing response while retaining the stiffness and control required for descending.

RS7

Balanced road

A versatile road-bike option combining responsive handling with greater consideration for longer-distance usability.

Race-tested development

From WorldTour feedback to the weekend ride.

X-LAB is used by the XDS Astana WorldTour Team, exposing bicycles and components to professional racing, high-speed handling, climbing, travel and repeated service demands.

That environment can accelerate development, but a professional race bike is not automatically the best choice for every CSD member. Comfort, fit, maintainability and the roads you ride still count.

Buy the purpose—not the podium.

Use race development as evidence of engineering effort, then choose the model and setup that fit your own riding.
