XDS X-LAB AD8 in Starlight Blue/White. $4,499.
Hot take: this is the best-looking paint in the lineup and not as many people order it. Everyone goes black. The blue and white in person is a different bike.
Same aero frame shape and geometry as the AD9 that XDS-ASTANA races on the WorldTour, in T800 carbon. Shimano 105 Di2, Branta C45 UL carbon wheels with carbon bladed spokes at 1,330g, Michelin Pro 5 tires, and a Branta carbon power meter crankset — dual-sided, measured at the spider.
16.33 lb in a size L. UDH hanger, T47 threaded bottom bracket, UCI approved. Lifetime warranty on the frame, fork and wheels with registration.
