X-LAB AD8

Pure Racing DNA, Refined for the Real World.

Welcome to Espresso Bicycle Repairs. If you measure your rides in efforts, not excuses, the X-LAB AD8 is ready to be your next upgrade. Inspired by the WorldTour-proven AD9, the AD8 brings elite aerodynamic performance to a wider range of serious riders. Delivering responsive handling, high-speed efficiency, and the unmistakable feel of a true race platform, it's the essence of X-LAB speed—engineered for the real world.

The Espresso Bicycle Repairs Take

We love the AD8 because it delivers top-tier geometry without the halo-bike price tag. It shares the exact same frame design and geometry as the flagship AD9, meaning you get the identical race-bred aerodynamics and handling characteristics proven at the highest level of the sport. By utilizing Toray T800 carbon fiber and outfitting it with the workhorse reliability of Shimano's 105 Di2 groupset, the AD8 hits the perfect sweet spot for solo tempo days, fast group rides, and local races.
