How is a carbon fibre road bike made? We went behind the scenes at the massive XDS Bikes factory in China to see how carbon road bikes and gravel bikes are made.
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (BRAIN) — X-Lab framesets will be available for the first time by the end of the month to its 300-plus U.S. retailers after many have been asking the upstart Chinese brand for that option.
The X-Lab AD8 delivers the same geometry as the WorldTour-raced AD9, plus carbon wheels and electronic shifting, for thousands less than the usual suspects.
Quite nice actually.
Sure, it’s a great value, but how does the X-Lab RS7 all-road bike ride?
We have a selection of exciting products from around the world currently with our reviewers for testing. Highlights include Hong Kong-based Particle’s 994g wheelset, an endurance bike from XDS that comes with a power meter for around £1,000, plus an even fancier version of Brooks’ legendary B17 saddle. Scroll down for a first look at the products currently being put through their paces…
