XDS Advanced 600

XDS Advance 600 (2022)

The Advanced Pro 600 is part of XDS’ latest E-bike range. Even though their previous range was very good, you can see that these guys have stepped up significantly - both in value and performance.

In this preview, we’ll cover all the important stuff you need to know before deciding if the new Advance Pro is a bike that will suit your lifestyle.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Advanced Pro will suit the rider who wants a tame mountain bike or a bike that is slightly more versatile and robust than a hybrid.

You plan on riding rail trails and bike paths, as well as gentle off-roading. The Advance 600 is suitable for sealed bike paths, dirt and gravel terrain.

And your focus is on making commutes, family and general fitness rides much more enjoyable.

THE FRAME

Is made from aluminium. But, you see, XDS are masters of making high-end aluminium (and carbon) frames - for themselves and other brands, globally.

The Advanced 600 uses XDS’ top-of-the-range aluminium material called X6. All tubes have been heavily manipulated to reduce weight and increase stiffness. Then you get a bunch of high-end frame features like a tapered head tube. This significantly increases the frame stiffness and delivers better handling. With the added weight of the motor and battery, anything that delivers more frame stiffness is going to be excellent for overall bike handling.
