I only compared the spec, not the actual ride. Spec wise it has 2 more gears (Shimano CS-HG20 9-speed Cassette 11-34T Vs Fit's SRAM PG830 11-30T Bicycle Cassette) , sora full sets Vs Fit's altus Derailleurs & different shifter i think, so i'm all in with that.

yes i managed to fold it inside but it doesn't close up as much as I thought it should be.. a big 'wide V', instead of just 'V' ... have to try again maybe

H2D,
Java Fit -RM1680
XDS AFB630 - RM1200

Difference of RM480. Is it worth to pay the extra to get the Java Fit or save that amount to get the XDS?

i din study both in detail, maybe you should. i believe u will notice the difference.

parts wise i think the difference is not tht much..

most importantly for me is it can fold well..

u should test the seat post, some can't slide down well, even u have release the QR.
if u do it on a dahon, u will understand wht i mean.

same for the handle post as well..

and when it folds it can stand on flat ground.

not sure if this is the latest java fit, but the pics show tht it can fold up nicely? now...

if the xds can do this then ..... biggrin.gif

this pix shows the xds have a stand below the BB...

u check whether it still has now.

normally bike with a stand under BB, the seat post is tough to lower..

this u need to go find out.. biggrin.gif

also is the xds fork really alu or steel?
magnet can tell... biggrin.gif

Thank you very much H2D.
I didn't know that we have to look at these things.
I thought just compare spec, both are about the same.

welcome biggrin.gif

yes... need to do home work...


the seat post for some they don't mind if it is tough to lower..

but if u share ur bike with other family members often
or u need to lower it down to make it compact..
then it is troublesome....

I have not seen the Java Fit in the shop yet. Most of the time view from the photos in the Internet.
I am sure there are a few things different between the Java Fit and the XDS 630.
Does the difference of RM480 worth getting the Java Fit?
Of save the RM480 and get the XDS 630?

For you, which one will you pick?

There are big wheels folding bikes. I think need to remove the front wheel when folded.
Montaque Paratrooper is one good brand. Hummer is the copy cat of Montaque.
Other brands also have.

My XDS 270 seat not difficult to lower/raise. Folding is QUITE small but I feel not very narrow V, just a V shape only (but not wide wide like China foldie). Looks like the java folds a bit better though.

Also, XDS can stand, there's a stand under the gear (not connected with seatpost) so that you can balance it on that and both wheel.
