China Cycling - Astana's new bike! X-LAB AD hands-on: Chinese bikes in the World Tour!

Astana have confirmed their name change to XDS Astana for 2025, and they will be riding XDS' X-LAB frames... but... what is the bike like in flesh? XDS recently had a press event for the team and the bikes here in China, but, I never got an invitation. Nevertheless, there are XDS bike shops everywhere in China, so I just went down to my local bike shop to check it out.
