XDS X-LAB RS7 - Carbon, Power Meter, $2,099
Power Meter City
4 de septiembre de 2026
At $2,099, the XDS X-LAB RS7 delivers a full carbon frame and fork, 50 mm carbon wheels, a Shimano 105 mechanical drivetrain, and a Branta spider power meter—making it one of the strongest values we’ve seen in a carbon road bike.
In this video, Josh covers everything you need to know before buying the RS7, including its components, race-focused ride, integrated carbon cockpit, tubeless-ready wheels, power meter, sizing, included accessories, and potential drawbacks. He also compares the $2,099 mechanical build with the $2,899 Shimano 105 Di2 version.
The RS7 is stiff, fast, and impressively equipped for the price. However, the integrated cockpit can make fit adjustments more involved, the stock tires are fairly basic, and the bike’s sizing runs a little small. If you need help choosing a size or deciding between the mechanical and Di2 builds, our team is happy to help.

Cons
- Los neumáticos son de una marca algo genérica de XDS y el reseñador recomienda cambiarlos
- Los neumáticos vienen con cámaras de aire de fábrica; la conversión a tubeless requiere hacerlo uno mismo y añadir sellante
- Las lecturas iniciales del medidor de potencia eran extrañas debido a un suavizado de datos incorrecto, pero se corrigió mediante la actualización de software versión 116
