About The XDS RS7 Carbon Shimano 105 Di2 Road Bike
The XDS RS7 Carbon is a performance road bike built around a full carbon frame and fork paired with a Shimano 105 Di2 electronic groupset, aimed at riders who want race-oriented handling without paying race-bike prices. It's positioned as an entry point into performance carbon road riding — either a first “real” bike for an athletic rider moving up from a hybrid or entry-level machine, or an upgrade path for a rider who wants electronic shifting and hydraulic disc brakes without stepping up to a higher groupset tier.
What sets the RS7 apart in its category is its integrated power meter crankset — built by Branta with 52-36T chainrings and Apple Find My anti-theft tracking built into the crank, a combination not commonly found at this price point. The bike transmits live power data via ANT+ to compatible head units and fitness apps, with Bluetooth pairing to the X-LAB Bikes app. 32c tire clearance and a 100x12mm thru-axle fork give it a slightly more forgiving stance than a pure crit bike, while an aero cockpit and aero seatpost keep it visually and functionally road-race oriented.
Who It's For
-
Riders moving up from an entry-level or aluminum road bike who want carbon frame stiffness and electronic shifting
-
Athletic newcomers to road cycling who want a genuine performance bike as a first purchase, not a fitness hybrid
-
Riders who want on-bike power data without buying a separate power meter
-
Riders chasing the lightest possible build, or who need tire clearance beyond 32c, should look at a different model
What to Look For
-
Confirm your shop stocks the RS7-specific derailleur hanger — it's not a universal design and is sourced through X-LAB
-
Weigh whether 52-36T chainrings with an 11-34T cassette suit your terrain; the frame accepts up to 56-43T 2x or a 66T 1x if your needs change
-
Check computer-mount compatibility — the aero cockpit uses a standard 2-bolt under-bar mount, and a basic mount is included with the bike
Key Features
The frame is built from Toray T800 carbon, with a matching Toray T-700 carbon fork — grades chosen for a stiffness-to-weight balance suited to a performance road platform, in a build that comes in at 8.49 kg (18.67 lbs) in size L. The fork's 100x12mm thru-axle adds front-end steering precision compared to a quick-release design.
Shifting runs on a full Shimano 105 Di2 electronic groupset — RD-R7150 rear derailleur, FD-R7150 front derailleur, and ST-R7170 shifters — which delivers consistent, push-button shifts that hold up under load better than a mechanical system at this level.
Braking comes from Shimano BR-R7170 hydraulic disc calipers on SM-RT70 rotors (160mm front, 140mm rear), giving more consistent stopping power in wet conditions than rim brakes.
The Branta C50 wheelset rides on stainless steel spokes, wrapped in Branta R332 700x32C tires — a build that favors durability and everyday ride quality over minimum weight.
The standout piece of technology is the Branta power meter crankset, which reads power directly at the crank, transmits via ANT+ to head units and fitness devices, and includes Apple Find My integration for theft recovery — a combination rarely offered on a bike in this class.
Rider Intent Summary
-
Biggest strengths: electronic Shimano 105 Di2 shifting, hydraulic disc brakes, and an integrated power meter at a budget-conscious price
-
Tradeoffs: a proprietary, non-universal derailleur hanger sourced through X-LAB, and a build kit (wheels, cockpit, saddle) from Branta rather than a name-brand component group
-
What makes it different: a crank-based power meter with Apple Find My anti-theft tracking, uncommon on a bike at this price point
Victory's Take
We think the RS7 is a smart pick for a rider who wants electronic shifting and real power data without paying for a higher groupset tier — just know the derailleur hanger is proprietary, so we'd rather set that expectation now than have it surprise you later. At Victory Bicycle Studio, we're happy to fit you on one and walk through the power meter setup before you ride away.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the bike packaged and how long does delivery take?
All bikes are securely packaged to ensure that damage doesn't occur during shipping. All parts of the bike are padded and if needed, zip tied to minimize or eliminate movement inside the box. Once a bike is handed to the shipping company (usually Fedex or UPS), depending on your location, delivery will range from 1 day to 8 days. If you do choose the option for Professional Assembly or White Glove Delivery, this can add anywhere from 2 days to 5 days to the lead time.
Can I finance the purchase of my new bike?
Yes. Simply select the Shop Pay Installments option which will allow you to buy now and pay later. Shop Pay Installments is powered by Affirm. If you would like to determine your spending limit, simply download the Shop app or the Affirm app on your smartphone and after you create an account on one of these apps, the app will let you know what is your spending limit.
Can I return the bike if it doesn't suit my needs?
Our return process is as follows. The customer is responsible for the return label ($150). Once the returned bike arrives at our warehouse, our team will inspect it and make sure it is in new condition and undamaged. Once we verify, we will process the return and issue a refund to the original payment method on file. To clarify the amount refunded, it would just be the amount of the bike (and tax if applicable) less the $150 shipping label that we provided, but the original shipping is not refunded. So if the original bike cost $4,500 and shipping was $150 (so you paid $4,650), you would be refunded $4,350 (the $4,500 less $150 for the return label) assuming the bike was returned in new and un-used condition and within the 30 day return period.
What does the warranty of my new bike or product cover and what is the warranty period?
Depending on the bike or any product, different companies have different warranty policies. If you do ever have an issue with your bike or any product, simply email us at online@victorybicyclestudio.com and we will assist with any warranty issues and clarify the warranty for the affected product.
Can I have my bike serviced at any bike shop?
Typically, to avoid any issues with your warranty, you should bring your bike to a certified mechanic or bike store for that bike (i.e. if you have a Trek bicycle, you should bring the bike to be serviced to a local bike store that is an authorized Trek dealer). If you need assistance, simply email us at online@victorybicyclestudio.com and we can direct you to a certified dealer of your bike.
Do you ship bikes internationally?
We unfortunately do not ship bikes outside of the 48 contiguous states of the United States. We do recommend for international customers to open (or use a current account) account with a freight forwarding company. If you use a freight forwarding company located in the U.S., make sure to put your billing address for a dedicated credit card as the same address as the freight forwarder so that you don't have any credit card or payment method issues).
Once you do this, simply place an order with us and we can ship to the U.S. address as long as the credit card doesn't get rejected. Once the freight forwarder has the box/order/shipment, you would instruct them to then ship to you in your home country and they would charge you their own shipping charge to ship to your international address.
Do you offer free shipping?
We do offer free shipping on non-bike orders over $100. We do not offer free shipping for bicycles unless it is a one time promotion. Generally, bike shipping will cost $150 and that covers just the shipping of the bike with no assembly. If you were to bring that bike to your local mechanic or bike store, you would pay them their assembly fee. If you choose our Professional Assembly option for $200, our service technicians would assemble the bike before shipping and then re-pack the bike safely for transit. When you receive the bike you would attach the front wheel, attach the seatpost/saddle, and raise the handlebars and clamp them. Those three items do have to be detached to minimize or eliminate the chance of damage in transit.
How much does shipping cost?
For orders of parts, accessories, apparel, etc. on orders under $100, shipping is a flat rate of $9.99. Regular bike shipping without assembly is $150, bike shipping with Professional Assembly is an additional $200 (so $350 in total which includes the $150 of regular shipping). Our White Glove Delivery option is $699 and that will cover the assembly of the bike and our White Glove Delivery partner delivering your dream bike to your front door, ready to ride!
How can I track my order?
When you place your online order, you will receive an instantaneous email update with your order number and order details, and shortly after, you will receive a follow up order email with the tracking number for your order. If you still need assistance with your order, feel free to email us at online@victorybicyclestudio.com and we will respond asap.
What happens if my package arrives damaged?
If your package arrives damaged, email online@victorybicyclestudio.com with pictures of all angles of the box and pictures of the damaged product and we will work with you to either send a new replacement asap and coordinate return (or re-imburse you for labor or costs incurred to fix the issue at your local bike store).
Are pedals included with the bike?
If you do not see pedals in the bullet point product specs on the product page, the bike does not come equipped with pedals. Many manufacturers do not spec bikes with pedals, so they are often purchased separately.
If I only pay the $150 for bike shipping, can I assemble the bike on my own?
Victory Bicycle Studio highly recommends that you bring your bike to your local certified bike store for the brand of the bike that you purchased. If you do attempt to assemble the bike and damage occurs, this may result in your warranty not being honored. For that reason, we do highly recommend to select our Professional Assembly option for $299.
