XDS, the parent company that makes X-Lab bikes, is probably the biggest bike brand you’ve never heard of. Although, in recent years with the sponsorship of XDS-Astana and a breakout into the WorldTour, this is less of a true statement than it used to be. Much like Giant and Merida, XDS makes bikes for Western brands, and while I am not at liberty to tell you for which brands, there’s every chance that it made your bike.
