The AD9 is designed for serious cycling enthusiasts and racers who know what they want from a race-oriented bicycle. It prioritizes aerodynamic efficiency, low weight, stiffness, and responsive handling.
Its aggressive geometry is best suited to riders who value performance and speed over a relaxed, upright riding position. It is particularly well suited to racing, fast group rides, and high-intensity training.
Yes. The AD9 arrives partially assembled and can be completed using the written assembly guide and assembly video.
Because the AD9 uses high-performance carbon components and an integrated cockpit, correct alignment and torque are essential. If you are unfamiliar with bicycle assembly or do not have the appropriate tools, we recommend professional assembly and a complete safety inspection before riding.
The AD9 has a maximum total load capacity of 220 lbs (100 kg). This includes the rider and everything carried on the bike, such as clothing, water bottles, tools, accessories, and other equipment.
Exceeding this limit may affect handling, braking performance, and the structural integrity of the bicycle or its components.
Yes. The AD9 is available as a frameset for riders who prefer to create a custom build.
Other major AD9 components, including the integrated cockpit, Branta power-meter crankset, and wheelsets are also available for purchase. Availability and pricing may vary, so contact an authorized X‑LAB dealer for assistance.
Most local bicycle shops can perform routine AD9 maintenance, including drivetrain service, brake adjustments, wheel service, and general safety inspections.
For warranty claims, proprietary replacement parts, cockpit changes, power-meter service, or major customization, we recommend working with an authorized X‑LAB dealer.
The AD9 supports tires up to 32 mm wide. This gives riders the flexibility to choose between narrow race-focused tires and wider options that provide additional comfort and grip.
Actual tire width can vary depending on the tire model, rim width, and inflation pressure. Always verify adequate clearance around the frame, fork, and brakes after installation.
Yes. The AD9 frame is compatible with most wired and wireless electronic groupsets from SRAM and other major drivetrain manufacturers.
A groupset conversion may require compatible shifters, derailleurs, brakes, cassette, chain, crankset, freehub body, bottom bracket, wiring, and related hardware. A qualified mechanic should confirm the complete parts list before beginning a conversion.
Yes. The AD9 uses a Universal Derailleur Hanger, commonly known as UDH.
This standardized design makes replacement hangers easier to source and helps provide consistent derailleur positioning. Following an impact, the hanger and derailleur alignment should be inspected before riding.
Yes. The AD9 integrated cockpit supports standard two-bolt, under-handlebar computer and combination mounts. A basic computer mount is included with the bike.
Before attaching a computer, light, or camera, confirm the mount’s load limit and use the correct hardware. Accessories should not be clamped directly to areas of the carbon cockpit that are not specifically approved for clamping.
The AD9 can accommodate up to a 56–43T configuration with a 2x drivetrain or up to a 68T chainring with a 1x drivetrain.
Compatibility depends on the selected drivetrain and components. Chainring clearance, chain length, derailleur capacity, and gearing compatibility should be confirmed by a qualified mechanic.
Yes. X‑LAB offers 18 width-and-length combinations for the AD9 integrated aero cockpit, allowing riders to select a setup that better suits their fit and riding position.
Availability may vary. Because changing the cockpit can require disconnecting and rerouting hydraulic brake hoses, we recommend having an authorized X‑LAB dealer handle selection and installation.
Yes. The Branta carbon power-meter crankset is offered in multiple crank lengths for purchase.
The best crank length depends on the rider’s measurements, fit, flexibility, pedaling style, and intended use. An authorized X‑LAB dealer or professional bike fitter can help determine the appropriate option.
Yes. In addition to the standard 52–36T chainrings, X‑LAB offers a compact 50–34T configuration and a race-oriented 54–40T configuration.
The compact option provides easier climbing gears, while the larger option supports higher gearing for racing and fast riding. Although the chainrings use a standard 110 BCD pattern, their shape is designed to integrate with the Branta power meter, so compatibility should be confirmed before purchase.
Yes. Both the rims and original tires supplied with the AD9 are tubeless-ready, and tubeless rim tape is already installed.
Tubeless valves and sealant must be purchased separately. After conversion, verify that the tires are properly seated and remain within the pressure limits specified by both the tire and wheel manufacturers.
