Verdict
On the measured axes the SAMEBIKE MY275 is the better buy, and the SAMEBIKE XWLX09-II needs a reason of its own: a colour, a frame, a shop you trust, a price that moves. None of those are in our numbers, and all of them are legitimate.
Range here is an estimate under one reference ride, not a measurement. Yours will differ with terrain, weight, tyres and weather, which is what the range calculator is for.
