The dated CNY 21,980 mainland China market report remains an aggregated dealer-market report, not verified Current purchase route checkout.

50% Cheaper than Specialized? The First US-Designed Chinese Gravel Bike

A US gravel ride review of the X-LAB GT8 with Shimano GRX Di2, compared with a Specialized Diverge and Santa Cruz Stigmata.

VeloVeloVelo · 2026-04-08. The review bike was collected from a new XDS dealer in Portland; no payment is stated. Disclosure basis.

Takeaways

  • Fit check1:23Clearance is 55 mm (it ships with 45 mm tires); geometry is conventional, short and tall endurance gravel with a 70 mm bottom-bracket drop that made fast loose corners harder work.
  • Ride impression2:44The frame is notably compliant on gravel at low pressure; the seat-cluster junction looks like a compliance feature but he was told it is mostly aesthetic.
  • Price at publication6:06US$3,200 with electronic shifting, carbon wheels, seatpost and cockpit, UDH, in-frame storage and a power meter; 19.44 lb (about 8.8 kg) without pedals.
  • Build note7:58A size-M comes with a sensible 39 cm bar, threaded bottom bracket and fully internal routing with an optional external head-tube port; there is no frameset-only option.
  • Measured8:33Against dual-sided Garmin pedals the XDS crank power meter read about 8–10 W high but tracked changes consistently.

How Is This So Cheap? - X-LAB GT8 Gravel Bike

An April 2026 first look at a borrowed size M X-LAB GT8 with 1×12 GRX Di2, Branta carbon wheels and 45 mm tyres, covering a weigh-in, measured wheel and crank weights, sizing, storage, warranty and the US price.

CADE Media · 2026-04-08. CADE Media borrowed the size M bike after XDS offered it and says it was not paid, did not keep the bike and XDS had no control over the video. The description names Garmin as a channel sponsor. Disclosure basis.

Takeaways

  • Measured1:46The borrowed size M, with 1×12 GRX Di2 (42T, 10–51T), Branta 45 mm carbon wheels and 45 mm Continental Terra Trail tyres set up tubeless, weighed 8.83 kg as shown.
  • Price at publication3:14One model at US$3,199 RRP at publication, with US sales tax extra by state; CADE found the electronic shifting and carbon wheels well ahead of similarly priced Canyon Grail or Specialized options.
  • Support4:30X-LAB said 2026 international sales would run through country distributors and dealers as well as direct sales, with a two-year warranty on parts and a lifetime warranty on carbon framesets.
  • Finish and faults5:10Finish was excellent: bolts threaded cleanly with no paint overspill. The demo bike lacked the down-tube storage bag, which X-LAB said comes with retail bikes.
  • Build note5:47Living with it: 55 mm tyre clearance, a round 27.2 mm seatpost for dropper options, an external seat clamp, extra bottle bosses and a separate bar and stem, but some internal routing, and proprietary headset spacers tie you to X-LAB's stem.
  • Fit check7:12Six sizes, XS to XXL, with crank, stem and bar sizes scaling; the size M has 39 cm flared bars. Free swaps were planned only for premium road models, so GT8 buyers would order other sizes through dealers.
  • Fit check8:37The size M suited the 5 ft 9½ in presenter and felt about the size of his small Scott gravel bike. The frame is compact with a sloping top tube, so he advises checking geometry charts or getting a fit first.
  • Measured10:08On a Park Tool DS-2 scale the 44 mm deep, 28 mm internal hooked wheels weighed 726 g front and 860 g rear and ran true with even spoke tension; the 170 mm power-meter crank weighed 839 g. The chain is SUMC, not Shimano.
