Welcome to X-LAB

XDS designs, engineers, and manufactures over eight million bicycles every year, entirely in-house. X-LAB was born inside these vertically integrated labs as a focused R&D program, reimagining what a modern performance bike should be when it's built on decades of advanced carbon and alloy expertise.

Our mission is simple: expand the sport of cycling by making the ownership experience easier to understand, the product story clearer, and every ride impossible to forget. This is performance engineering built for real riders — welcome to your new favorite ride.

X-LAB by the Numbers

A Rare, Unified Process

Behind every X-LAB bike is a rare concentration of in-house capability: carbon engineering, alloy fabrication, wheel and component development, scalable automation, and precision testing — all under one roof. Because it's built in-house from start to finish, quality and performance aren't ambitions. They're the baseline.

What sets X-LAB apart isn't scale alone. It's the ability to control every detail, at every stage, from the first design decision to the final inspection — a level of manufacturing precision most performance bike brands simply can't replicate.

Riders and Retailers First

X-LAB is built for every kind of rider — the pro racer chasing the finish line, and the newcomer buying their first serious bike since childhood.

That's why we built our entire model to help dealers and retailers succeed. Bike shops are the touch point that connects riders to the sport, and without them, cycling can't grow. X-LAB was created to be, and will always remain, dealer-first.

The Branta™ Advantage Belongs to X-LAB

Branta™ is XDS' in-house componentry brand, directly engineering the speed, acceleration, stiffness, control, power, and efficiency of every X-LAB bike.

Born from XDS' manufacturing scale and decades of technical depth, Branta brings Tier 1 supplier-level rigor in-house — components that most competing brands are forced to source externally.

The Art and Science of In-House Componentry

Branta engineers wheelsets, cranksets, integrated power meter systems, electric motors, suspension systems, and proprietary software — the core performance systems of every bike, developed alongside the frame and tuned across the entire platform.

Not trend-driven. Not spec-sheet decoration. Every Branta component is built for structural integrity, real-world riders, and complete-bike performance.

Featured Branta Systems:

• Branta ULR Carbon Wheelsets — Raced at the elite level with the Spanish UCI Women's ProTeam Laboral Kutxa–Fundación Euskadi. 1,230g full wheelset weight, 50mm aero rim profile, ceramic bearings, and a titanium alloy planetary ratchet for wheels that accelerate fast, hold their line, and transfer power cleanly.
• Branta Built-In Power Meter Cranksets — Direct-drive, disc-spider measured, and IPX7 waterproof, engineered for stiffness, low weight, vibration control, and efficient power transfer — with the power meter built into the system from the start, not bolted on later.
• Branta X800 Mid-Drive Motor — High-torque, whisper-quiet, and thermally optimized. At just 4 lbs (1.8 kg), the X800 delivers up to 95N·m of peak torque at nearly half the weight of leading industry motors.
