X-LAB

X-LAB-Compatible Components

X-LAB focuses on race-first road bikes from XDS, built for riders who chase aero speed and sharp handling. AD9 stands out as the flagship aero road machine for fast flats, crosswinds, and full-gas sprint finishes. Then AD8 keeps aero speed within reach for hard club racing, while RS9 pushes an all-round race build for climbs and attacks.

Framesandgear supplies X-LAB Direct Derailleur Mounts for RS8, RS9, AD8, and AD9 frames. Additionally, CNC machining cuts Aluminium (7075) to keep the mount strong and light. Consequently, the hanger controls derailleur alignment for consistent shifting. Moreover, multiple finish options allow for customisation.

Product Types

Direct Derailleur Mounts

Direct Derailleur Mounts connect the rear derailleur to the X-LAB direct-mount interface. Therefore, the frame mount faces fix the hanger position at the dropout. In addition, the direct-mount layout removes the need for extra links at the derailleur. As a result, the drivetrain keeps a compact, clean layout.

Key Features & Advantages

Framesandgear machines every X-LAB mount from Aluminium (7075). Additionally, CNC machining supports proper derailleur alignment. Equally, each mount weighs 13 g.
