XDS X-LAB AD8

The XDS X-LAB AD8 is a performance focused aero road bike engineered to bring race proven speed and modern technology to a wider range of riders. Inspired directly by the WorldTour tested AD9 platform, the AD8 shares the same frame design and geometry, delivering elite aerodynamic efficiency and responsive handling in a package built for serious cyclists chasing faster rides, stronger efforts, and greater performance on everyday roads.

Constructed from Toray T800 carbon fiber, the AD8 is designed to strike the ideal balance between low weight, stiffness, and ride responsiveness. The carbon layup has been carefully tuned to provide the sharp acceleration and efficient power transfer expected from a modern aero race bike, while maintaining enough compliance for comfort across long training days and demanding road surfaces. Borrowing the same aerodynamic shaping and race inspired geometry as its flagship sibling, the AD9, the AD8 offers the unmistakable feel of a true race platform without the premium price tag typically associated with top tier superbikes.

Built for riders who measure success in watts, speed, and progression, the AD8 delivers aerodynamic gains that can be felt in real world riding. Whether pushing through solo training efforts, sprinting through fast group rides, or chasing personal bests on familiar roads, the frame’s efficient tube shaping helps reduce drag and maintain momentum at speed. Its balanced handling inspires confidence in corners and technical descents while remaining quick and responsive when accelerating out of turns or surging over climbs.

Performance extends beyond the frame with a premium build kit designed to elevate the riding experience. Shimano 105 Di2 electronic shifting delivers fast, precise gear changes with minimal effort, while the Branta carbon crankset features an integrated power meter for detailed performance tracking and built in Apple Find My anti theft functionality for added peace of mind. Completing the package is the lightweight Branta C45 UL carbon wheelset with carbon spokes, weighing just 1,330 grams to enhance acceleration, climbing response, and overall ride feel.

The X-LAB AD8 is built for riders who want real aerodynamic performance, premium technology, and race inspired handling in a bike designed for the demands of everyday riding.
