Constructed from advanced Toray T1100 carbon fiber, the AD9 achieves exceptional stiffness while maintaining a finely tuned aerodynamic profile. Every tube shape has been engineered using CFD analysis and wind tunnel validation, ensuring that each surface works to reduce drag, preserve momentum, and maximize power transfer. The result is a bike that doesn’t just fight the wind; it cuts through it with precision.

Proven under the demands of the XDS Astana WorldTour Team, the AD9 brings elite-level performance to every ride. Its fully integrated carbon frameset and aero seatpost are paired with a Branta carbon crankset with integrated power meter, combining cutting-edge performance tracking with innovative features like Apple Find My compatibility for added security. Lightweight Branta C50 ULR carbon wheels with carbon spokes further enhance speed and responsiveness, delivering low rotational weight and aerodynamic efficiency. Finished with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 electronic shifting, the AD9 delivers precise, race-ready performance in a package that meets the highest standards of modern competition.
