This Strata Grey\/Black version combines the AD8’s race-focused frame with Shimano 105 Di2 electronic shifting, carbon wheels and an integrated power meter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt shares the AD9’s frame design and geometry, using Toray T800 carbon to bring that aerodynamic platform into a different build. If you are looking for a responsive road bike that feels at home when the pace lifts, the AD8 is worth a closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eToray T800 Carbon Frame and Fork\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe AD8 uses a Toray T800 carbon frame and fork with aerodynamic shaping developed for fast road riding.

The shift controls communicate wirelessly with the system, while the derailleurs draw power from the central Di2 battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 52\/36T chainrings provide plenty of gearing for faster riding, while the 11–34T cassette offers a useful lower gear for longer climbs. It is a practical combination for bunch rides, training and hilly road events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes provide controlled braking in changing weather.

X-LAB lists a claimed wheelset weight of 1,330 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMichelin Pro 5 700 × 28C tyres provide a performance-focused starting point for training and bunch rides. X-LAB states that the AD8 frame has clearance for tyres up to 32 mm, giving you the option to choose a wider road tyre for extra comfort on coarse chip seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eActual clearance can vary with the tyre and rim combination. Check the measured tyre width and leave appropriate space around the frame and fork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIntegrated Carbon Cockpit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Branta integrated carbon handlebar and stem keeps the front of the bike tidy.

In Sunspot Red\/Black, this version pairs the AD8’s race-focused frame with Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic shifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt shares the AD9’s frame design and geometry, using Toray T800 carbon to bring that aerodynamic platform into a different build. If you are looking for a responsive road bike that feels at home when the pace lifts, the AD8 is worth a closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eToray T800 Carbon Frame and Fork\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AD8 uses a Toray T800 carbon frame and fork with aerodynamic shaping developed for fast road riding. Its race-focused geometry puts you in a position suited to riding on the drops, climbing out of the saddle and holding speed on open roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn aero-profile carbon seatpost and integrated carbon cockpit give the bike a tidy finish.

The shift controls communicate wirelessly with the system, while the derailleurs draw power from the central Di2 battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShifts are made with a light press of the controls, which is useful when your hands are tired at the end of a long ride or when you need to change gear while holding the drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltegra hydraulic disc brakes provide controlled braking in changing weather. They are a good match for fast descents and regular riding on New Zealand roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCarbon Wheels and 28 mm Tyres\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AD8 is paired with Branta C45 UL carbon wheels with carbon spokes. Their 45 mm profile suits fast road riding without going as deep as a dedicated flat-course race wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichelin Pro 5 700 × 28C tyres provide a performance-focused starting point for training and bunch rides. X-LAB states that the AD8 frame has clearance for tyres up to 32 mm, giving you the option to choose a wider road tyre for extra comfort on coarse chip seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActual clearance can vary with the tyre and rim combination.

This Team Replica model brings the XDS Astana look to a complete build with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, Branta carbon wheels and a power meter already fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt a claimed 6.82 kg in size L, the AD9 is light for an aero road bike. It is designed to be quick on open roads, responsive out of corners and rewarding when the road turns uphill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWind-Tunnel-Tested Carbon Frame\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe AD9 uses the same frame platform raced by the XDS Astana team. X-LAB developed its aerodynamic tube shapes using computational fluid dynamics and wind-tunnel testing, with the aim of reducing drag when speed matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe carbon frame and fork are paired with an aero-profile carbon seatpost and an integrated carbon cockpit. The result is a clean-looking race bike with the positioning and handling expected from a performance-focused road frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShimano Dura-Ace Di2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShimano Dura-Ace Di2 provides electronic shifting through a 2 × 12-speed drivetrain. The shift controls communicate wirelessly with the system, while the derailleurs draw power from the central Di2 battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 52\/36T chainrings provide plenty of gearing for faster riding, while the 11–34T cassette offers a useful lower gear for longer climbs. It is a practical combination for a race bike that will also be ridden on hilly training routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDura-Ace hydraulic disc brakes and 160 mm rotors provide controlled braking for fast descents and changing weather conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBranta Carbon Power-Meter Crankset\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Branta carbon crankset includes a power meter, allowing you to measure effort, follow structured training and pace longer events without buying a separate unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePower data is useful for more than racing.

Michelin Pro 5 700 × 28C tyres provide a performance-focused setup for training, racing and weekend bunch rides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe AD9 frame has a stated maximum tyre clearance of 32 mm, giving riders the option to choose a wider road tyre for extra comfort and grip.

Dura-Ace Di2, carbon wheels and a power meter are already included, so there is no immediate need to change major components before getting out and riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 52\/36T and 11–34T gearing is a useful combination for New Zealand roads. You retain the gearing for a fast bunch ride while still having a lower option for longer climbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFit is the part we would pay particular attention to. The integrated cockpit looks great, but changing its dimensions is more involved than swapping a conventional stem.

It also uses a Universal Derailleur Hanger, making the hanger standard easier to identify when sourcing a replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntegrated routing gives the finished bike a clean front end, but it makes planning the cockpit and brake hoses important.

This version comes in the distinctive Laboral Kutxa Team Replica finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade with Toray T1100 carbon, the AD9 combines aerodynamic frame shaping with race-focused geometry.

X-LAB lists a claimed frameset weight of 1.58 kg in size M without the headset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat figure is for the frameset, not a complete bike. The finished weight will depend on the frame size and the components used for your build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuild It Your Way\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe AD9 is sold as a frameset rather than a complete bicycle. That gives you the freedom to choose your preferred electronic groupset, wheels, saddle and finishing components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eX-LAB states that the frame is compatible with most wired and wireless electronic groupsets from major drivetrain brands. It also uses a Universal Derailleur Hanger, making the hanger standard easier to identify when a replacement is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame uses a T47 bottom bracket for a 29 mm crank spindle. Check the required bottom bracket against your chosen crankset before beginning the build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntegrated routing gives the finished bike a clean front end, but it makes planning the cockpit and brake hoses important.

Starting with a frameset lets you put the budget into the wheels, groupset and cockpit that matter to you instead of replacing parts from a complete bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Laboral Kutxa finish is a good reason to choose this version, but fit comes first. Aero frames and integrated cockpits can make later adjustments more involved, so it is worth checking stack, reach, handlebar width and stem length before committing to the build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are transferring components from another bike, bring us the details.

X-LAB lists a claimed frameset weight of 1.58 kg in size M without the headset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat figure is for the frameset, not a complete bike.

It also uses a Universal Derailleur Hanger, making the hanger standard easier to identify when sourcing a replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntegrated routing gives the finished bike a clean front end, but it makes planning the cockpit and brake hoses important.

Starting with a frameset lets you put the budget into the wheels, groupset and cockpit that matter to you instead of replacing parts from a complete bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFit comes first. Aero frames and integrated cockpits can make changes more involved, so it is worth checking stack, reach, handlebar width and stem length before committing to a build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are moving parts over from another bike, bring us the details.

For mixed-surface riding, gravel events and exploring further from sealed roads, it is a practical build with very little that needs changing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Chain Reaction?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProfessionally assembled, tuned and safety checked\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrakes professionally checked and bedded in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShimano Di2 system checked and configured\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePower meter checked and paired where required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGear adjustment and drivetrain setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTyre pressures initially set for the rider and intended terrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpert sizing and setup advice\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplete bike handover and feature walkthrough\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinance and WorkRide options available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVisit Chain Reaction at \u003cstrong\u003e4–218 Moorhouse Avenue, Christchurch\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Shimano 105 is a groupset we are happy to see on a bike intended for regular use, and the included power meter is a useful extra if you want to get more out of your training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 32 mm tyres and room for wider rubber are particularly welcome on New Zealand roads. They give you options if comfort matters more than running the narrowest tyre possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the carbon RS7, the RS5 uses an aluminium frame and aluminium wheels and has a higher claimed weight.

Add Shimano 105 mechanical shifting and hydraulic brakes, and you have a build that makes sense for someone who wants to ride and train without immediately changing components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 32C tyres are a good choice for New Zealand roads, where coarse chip seal can make a narrow-tyred race bike feel harsh. The 52\/36T chainrings still give the bike a performance focus, though riders regularly taking on very steep climbs may want to consider whether that gearing suits their legs and local routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur main fitting consideration is the integrated cockpit.

It combines Shimano 105 Di2 electronic shifting with Branta C45 wheels and a power meter already fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinished in Angel Wing White, the RS7 has a performance-focused riding position without being limited to racing.

Exceptionally Low Weight.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe X-LAB RT9 is a high-performance carbon road bike built for racing, climbing and fast road riding. Its Toray T1100 + M40X carbon frame is paired with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 electronic shifting, a power-meter crankset, an integrated carbon cockpit and Branta C50 ULR carbon wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt a claimed 6.20 kg in size L, the RT9 is exceptionally light for a complete disc-brake road bike. It suits riders looking for immediate acceleration, efficient climbing and precise handling without needing to plan an expensive list of upgrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eToray T1100 + M40X Carbon Frameset\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RT9 uses a high-grade Toray T1100 + M40X carbon frame with a matching Toray T1100 carbon fork. Its low weight and race-focused geometry create a responsive platform for climbing, sprinting and fast changes of direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA conventional 27.2 mm carbon seatpost allows useful adjustment and helps take some of the sting out of coarse road surfaces. The threaded BSA bottom bracket is also a practical inclusion, making servicing more straightforward than many press-fit systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSRAM UDH compatibility provides a widely supported replacement derailleur-hanger standard, while 12 mm thru-axles help maintain accurate wheel and brake alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShimano Dura-Ace Di2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShimano Dura-Ace R9200 Di2 provides fast and consistent electronic shifting through a 2 × 12-speed drivetrain. The wireless shift controls keep the cockpit tidy, while the derailleurs are powered by the central Di2 battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 52\/36T crankset and 11–34T cassette give the RT9 a useful balance of high-speed gearing and manageable climbing ratios. This makes it suitable for road racing and fast bunch rides without committing the rider to an excessively tall traditional race cassette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDura-Ace hydraulic disc brakes provide controlled braking in wet or dry conditions. A 160 mm front rotor supplies additional heat capacity and braking leverage, while the 140 mm rear rotor helps keep weight down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIntegrated Power Meter and Apple Find My\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Branta carbon crankset includes an integrated power meter, allowing riders to measure training effort, pace longer events and track performance without purchasing a separate crank or pedal system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApple Find My technology is also built into the crankset, providing an additional way to locate the bike through a compatible Apple account and device. This is a useful security feature, but it does not replace a quality physical lock when the bike is left unattended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBranta C50 ULR Carbon Wheels\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Branta C50 ULR wheelset uses carbon rims and carbon spokes with ceramic bearings. Its 50 mm rim depth provides an aerodynamic profile for racing and fast road riding while remaining suitable for rolling and hilly courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMichelin Pro 5 700 × 28C tyres provide a sensible balance of speed, grip and everyday road comfort. The frame has a maximum recommended tyre clearance of 700 × 30C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIntegrated Carbon Cockpit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Branta integrated carbon cockpit combines the handlebar and stem into a clean, lightweight unit. Handlebar width and stem length vary by frame size to provide more suitable proportions across the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn integrated cockpit offers a tidy front end, but it also provides less adjustment than separate handlebars and stems. We recommend confirming the frame size, handlebar width and stem length before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSelle Italia SLR Boost Saddle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA Selle Italia SLR Boost saddle with carbon rails completes the lightweight build.

Riders wanting a more upright position, greater tyre clearance or extra comfort for rough roads may be better suited to an endurance road bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Thoughts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe headline figure is the 6.20 kg claimed weight, but the RT9 is more than a light frame with inexpensive parts added to meet a price. Dura-Ace Di2, carbon-spoked C50 wheels, an integrated carbon cockpit, power meter and carbon-railed saddle make this a properly high-level build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 52\/36T gearing and 11–34T cassette are also a sensible combination. There is enough top-end gearing for racing, but the 34T largest sprocket makes the bike more manageable on long or steep climbs than a close-ratio race cassette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFit deserves careful attention. The integrated cockpit limits easy stem and handlebar changes, while the short crank lengths are quite different from those traditionally supplied on road bikes. That may suit riders looking for improved cornering clearance and a more open hip angle, but it should be considered as part of the complete bike fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a rider wanting a very light race bike with top-level electronic shifting and a power meter already fitted, the RT9 offers an impressive specification straight out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrameset\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e XDS carbon, Toray T1100 + M40X construction, SRAM UDH compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFork:\u003c\/strong\u003e XDS Toray T1100 carbon, 12 × 100 mm thru-axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottom bracket:\u003c\/strong\u003e Threaded BSA for 29 mm spindle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeatpost:\u003c\/strong\u003e XDS carbon, 27.2 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDrivetrain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShift levers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano Dura-Ace ST-R9270 Di2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront derailleur:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano Dura-Ace FD-R9250 Di2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear derailleur:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano Dura-Ace RD-R9250 Di2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrankset:\u003c\/strong\u003e Branta carbon power-meter crankset\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChainrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52\/36T\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrank spindle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29 mm aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecurity technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated Apple Find My\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCassette:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano Dura-Ace CS-R9200, 12-speed, 11–34T\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano CN-M9100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBrakes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrake callipers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano Dura-Ace BR-R9270 hydraulic disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront rotor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano SM-MT900, 160 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear rotor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano SM-MT900, 140 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWheels and Tyres\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheelset:\u003c\/strong\u003e Branta C50 ULR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRims:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon, 50 mm depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpokes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTyres:\u003c\/strong\u003e Michelin Pro 5, 700 × 28C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum tyre clearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700 × 30C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCockpit and Contact Points\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCockpit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Branta integrated carbon handlebar and stem\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeatpost:\u003c\/strong\u003e XDS carbon, 27.2 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Selle Italia SLR Boost with carbon rails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes, Colour and Weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e XS, S, M and L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shadowbox Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClaimed weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.20 kg in size L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSize Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
