Our Story
XDS began nearly three decades ago in a small workshop with a handful of engineers who all shared one idea:
bicycles should be engineered with total control, from raw materials to the final torque check. At the
time, many brands were increasingly outsourcing their production, but our founders believed that precision
and consistency could only come from doing everything in-house.
In the end, this design philosophy paid off. That small workshop has grown into one of the world's leading
carbon-fibre producers, crafting more than 8 million bicycles a year. Today XDS supports riders across 50
countries, with 5 global factories, 190 distributors, 3,000+ retailers, 14,000 employees and over 300
international patents.

A Rare,
Unified Process.
What sets X-LAB apart is its complete control over every stage of the process. The same team oversees
everything from the very first design mock-up to the final product inspection.
This unification brings a rare concentration of capabilities into one place: carbon engineering, alloy
fabrication, developing each component, scaling the operation and the final precision tests. Standards are
always maintained because everything is built in-house.
Focused Research & Development
XDS designs, engineers and manufactures over eight million bicycles each year. Within these vertically
integrated labs is where X-LAB was born, as a focused R&D program reimagining what modern performance
bikes ought to be when powered by decades of advanced carbon and alloy expertise.
We are here to expand the sport of cycling by making the ownership experience simpler, the product story
clearer and the ride itself impossible to forget. Welcome to your new favourite ride.

Built for Riders and Retailers
XDS bikes are designed for the people who rely on them. Athletes, commuters, families and retailers who
need consistency they can trust.
We've built the entire model to empower dealers and retailers to succeed. Bike shops are the invaluable
touch points for riders of all levels, which is why X-LAB is and will always remain dealers first.
Moving Forward
The world needs bicycles more than ever. As cities evolve and technology advances, XDS will continue refining the way bikes are built. Lighter materials, smarter engineering and manufacturing that never compromises.
