The aero bike currently used as the primary rig by the UCI WorldTour team
XDS Astana Team
the X-LAB AD9, is reportedly launching domestically this year
It's the same aero bike that won
Stage 13 of the 2026 Giro d'Italia
Not sure how it'll be handled domestically,
but apparently the frame and their in-house components
will come with a lifetime warranty.
Frame weight for size L is 850g.
The thing I was most impressed by while looking into it
is that it supports UDH.
Hoping the complete bike price is good too,
but I really hope the frame + handlebar price comes out reasonable.
