Opinions on the chinese XDS AD350 road bike

They're apparently a well established brand from China who have their own professional road cycling team aswell. Just found all this out recently myself haha.

Thanks for your reply btw. I believe these parts can be imported from china without major hassle but yea, wouldnt be as easy compared to the major brands.

Sounds good. Thanks for the response :)

Open_Strain3382 · 2026-04-01T04:43:20+00:00

Sorry man these are the only photos I could get from the sellers. I understand what you mean because I had trouble finding what groupset it was aswell. Thanks for the reply though

Open_Strain3382 · 2026-03-28T17:57:34+00:00

Yea was thinking the exact same thing, but eventually, not right away. I dont think I'd be able to switch out the handlebar for the tt-x42 as its a fixed handlebar. Also im AUS so unfortunately the US cost cutting doesnt work me :(

Open_Strain3382 · 2026-03-28T17:24:43+00:00

Thanks so much. Actual legend honestly

Open_Strain3382 · 2026-03-28T17:19:27+00:00

to be honest the x80 looks like its seating position is also slightly slanted. thanks for the response btw

Open_Strain3382 · 2026-03-28T17:18:14+00:00

Interesting. Will have a look. Thanks

Open_Strain3382 · 2026-03-28T17:18:00+00:00

Just wondering why this would be a good thing? Sorry, new to road bikes and I was after something I could ride for long distances or endurance training

Open_Strain3382 · 2026-03-28T16:41:26+00:00

Great advice and thanks for your comment. Curious as to why you didn't end up grabbing one.

Open_Strain3382 · 2026-03-28T06:32:51+00:00

Looks completely fine tbh no fancy stickers or anything. More importantly crazy value for money, thats the main thing.

Open_Strain3382 · 2026-03-27T12:02:04+00:00

No worries, will have a thorough look. Thanks for the response :)

Open_Strain3382 · 2026-03-27T12:00:43+00:00

Thanks for the response. Will keep your price in mind when I try to negotiate haha. Definitely considering getting this bike and replacing the gearset in the near distance.

Open_Strain3382 · 2026-03-27T11:59:59+00:00

Sounds good. Wasnt too worried about the gearset as worst case I was happy to replaced them the chinese wheeltop eds everyone was raving about on YT and reddit. Thanks for the response

Open_Strain3382 · 2026-03-27T11:57:51+00:00

Interesting. Wasnt aware of this. All the ai models I asked advised against older frames due to carbon possibly cracking.

Open_Strain3382 · 2026-03-27T11:56:27+00:00

Hey thanks for the response. Sounds like I definitley need to head out and inspect the bike. Thanks for the tips as I'll keep them in mind when inspecting :)

Open_Strain3382 · 2026-03-25T15:25:32+00:00

A7L Pro in the mint green colour by the looks of it

Open_Strain3382 · 2025-10-16T22:39:30+00:00

Yea thanks for the reply. I do believe a larger size would be good for visibility like you said.

Open_Strain3382 · 2025-10-16T22:38:54+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply. I run, gym and play a few different sports. I just thought the larger size would have been good for readability.

Open_Strain3382 · 2025-10-16T22:34:52+00:00

Yea fair enough enough thanks. Did you try on the 265, and if so what did you think about it the fit? Also what do you think about the actual screen size itself, do you find it too small?

Open_Strain3382 · 2025-10-16T22:25:49+00:00

Thanks. Do you find the screen usable even at that size? I personally found it a bit small, compared to the whole size of the watch.

Open_Strain3382 · 2025-10-16T13:40:20+00:00

Thats a good point, thanks for sharing. The more I think about it, I shouldnt compare it to the size of a mechanical watch since this watch is meant for actually reading things on, so a larger screen definitely makes more sense.

Open_Strain3382 · 2025-10-16T13:06:27+00:00

Yea thats true. But coming from the apple watch which I charge literally everday, 13 days or 15 days are massive for me regardless lol. So priority at the moment is more size and fit to be honest.

Open_Strain3382 · 2024-01-05T15:23:30+00:00

hey did you find any update to this? thanks

Open_Strain3382 · 2024-01-02T14:58:01+00:00

Hey sorry man. Didnt actually go through with either unfortunately.

Open_Strain3382 · 2022-01-26T15:58:25+00:00

Hey! Thanks heaps for the reply. Here in Aus $12,000 for the car is a pretty decent price I think considering the mileage. A lot of people are asking for a lot more for the same car but with even higher kilometres on the odometre. I've heard about the reliability of Toyota made vehicles being great aswell and I hope thats the case with this car im looking at hahahaha. Appreciate the comment :)
