Less noted is that X-Lab is not quite a direct operation: It’s decided to focus on sales through independent bike shops instead of the consumer-direct focus of most new market entrants in recent years. And while the media is focusing on X-Lab’s super light road frames and carbon gravel bikes, the brand’s initial limited product portfolio in the U.S. also includes two sub-$2,000 e-bikes and a $800…
