30 YEARS STRONG

Where has the time gone? From a desire to better service our customers at a fledgling multisport retailer in Encinitas to designing the gear of choice for thousands of age group and professional athletes worldwide. What has kept us focused? Never being satisfied. Always looking to improve. Being faster. Making you faster. Here's to the next 30 years.


XLAB was born in what would become the premier multisport retailer in the world, Nytro Multisport Technology. Athletes were asking for a better way to carry their hydration and nutrition on the bike.

Inspired by Lotus design, the Saddle Wing was our first rear hydration design. Removing the cages from the frame and positioning them behind the rider provided a measureable aerodynamic advantage.

Placing bottles behind the saddle significantly increased the demands on traditional cages. Enter the Gorilla. With 10 pounds of bottle grip; this carbon cage was a true game changer.

The Carbon Wing was the next evolution in rear hydration. Before it was retired in 2021, the Carbon Wing won numerous world and age group championships.

Several years of offering aluminum and carbon bikes culminated in the release of the Avenger TT. A carbon fiber rocket that punched high above its weight.

The start of the #torpedospeed era. The BTA style known as 'Torpedo' became revolutionary in allowing riders to remain aerodynamic while drinking.

The Torpedo bottle, our streamlined, one-piece refillable bottle debuted in 2013.
Its combination of usability and World Championship winning performance made it an instant hit.

Seeing a need to add storage to our Delta series of single bottle rear carriers we introduced our patented Aero Pouch 300.
"...although it’s deceivingly compact, the pouch can fit a tube, tire levers, two CO2 cartridges, a patch kit and an inflator ...and keeps airflow clean behind the rider."

With an eye towards providing the world of gravel and mountain biking with gear designed to get them there and back again, we launched our gravel and mountain bike brand DAWN TO DUSK.

Released in 2024, the Aero Carbon Wing is a leap forward for rear hydration. Combining adjustability and compatibility in one aerodynamic package, the carrier is the fastest system we have ever created.
