XLAB USA – Aerodynamic Hydration & Storage for Cyclists

Founded in 1993 by aerospace designer and former triathlete Craig Turner, XLAB USA is based in Escondido, California—near the heart of triathlon culture in nearby San Diego

What They Do:
XLAB designs and manufactures aerodynamically optimized hydration, nutrition, and repair storage systems for bicycles. Their product line includes hydration carriers, bottle cages, multisystem mounts, and more—crafting each item with a focus on both functionality and aerodynamics

Why It Matters:

  • Their products are trusted by elite athletes, contributing to multiple World Championship wins—estimates range from 24 up to 30 titles

  • They embrace aerospace-grade design and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis to deliver products that slash drag and boost performance

  • Unlike many competitors, XLAB assembles and quality-checks their products in the U.S., ensuring top-tier craftsmanship
