X-Lab AD9 review: Holds its own against WorldTour competitors, but it isn’t as cheap as you might expect

Mar 2026

Chinese bikes aren't cheap fakes anymore, so get used to paying more and getting more, too

Highs
  • Praise be for gloss paint

  • Wheels work well with the frame

  • Neutral, but pleasing handling characteristics

Lows
  • Can't swap the cockpit at point of sale

  • Harder to get hold of compared to more common brands
