X-LAB is the in-house performance bicycle line by XDS, which has quietly become the world’s largest and most vertically integrated bicycle manufacturer and the largest maker of carbon fiber frames, supplying many of the top brands in cycling and mobility.
Today, XDS is quiet no more.
XDS launched X-LAB in April 2026 as the global consumer brand to take the industry by storm. Three decades of experience building exceptional bicycles have culminated into a unique line of road, gravel, electric, city, hybrid, and soon mountain bikes that riders and shops can’t stop talking about.
X-LAB is the new inflection point for the category.
We launched in April 2026 with a full lineup across road, gravel, city, fitness, e-bike, and soon mountain categories, with validation from the highest and most demanding levels of the sport through the XDS Astana Team and a rapidly growing network of dealers.
Our ambition is not simply to sell more bikes. It is to make great bikes more integrated, more accessible, and better supported through the independent shops and communities that grow cycling and bring in new riders.
That is what makes this moment exciting.
Joining X-LAB means shaping a company with unmatched production scale, real engineering R&D depth, and the confidence to earn trust… one rider, one dealer, one product, and one market at a time.

X-LAB is the performance bicycle brand by XDS, the world’s largest and most vertically integrated bicycle manufacturer.
Built on over three decades of engineering, manufacturing, and mobility expertise, X-LAB was created to rethink what a modern performance bike should be. Our approach is simple: design the bike as a complete system, not as a collection of sourced parts.
From carbon frames and wheelsets to cranksets, power meters, electric motors, sensors, and software, X-LAB is powered by the full technical depth of XDS and the Branta in-house component platform. This gives us the ability to engineer more of the ride experience from the inside out, delivering elite performance, smarter integration, and stronger value from day one.
X-LAB bikes are built for road, gravel, city, fitness, mountain, and electric mobility, with technology proven from everyday commutes to the WorldTour-level racing by the XDS Astana Team.
We believe performance cycling should be more accessible, more integrated, and better supported. That is why X-LAB is building a dealer-first global platform that gives riders access to the full cycling experience while supporting the local shops that make our communities stronger.
Built in the lab. Proven on pavement and beyond.
