XDS RX700 or RX800 reviews?

[fab4272]

Hi all,

Hard to find many reviews on these bikes. Does anyone have any real world experience with the?

From what I have been able to find, the frames are Chinese, but are from a reputable manufacturer that make frames for Trek, Apollo as well.

Thanks in advance.

I have a 2015 RX580 FB Roadie. Bought it new in November last year
Comfortable ride. Sora groupset. Reasonably fast. Carbon forks.
Only issue for me is fitting mudguards and rack for commuting.

Cheap. Picked it up half price - on sale.

I tried the Reid and Cell at that price point before buying the XDS. They were very agricultural compared to the XDS.
Most name bikes with the same groupset and wheels are double the price.

Only issue I've had with it was a creaking noise from the drive area. The LBS big barn retailer spent more than the bike was worth diagnosing and replacing the Sora BB and crankset. Did't cost me anything as under warranty.

Make sure you get the right size. You can get a test ride from most of XDS sellers.

I'm a big guy - 188 and 100kilos. Already ridden the bike over 1000K's so far. Happy with it.
You will struggle to see another XDS out on the road.

I've been told that XDS originally started out with cheaper Chinese groupsets and wheelsets. An embarrassing amount of failures caused the XDS guys to up their game.
