The geometry of the frame is designed to promote a relaxed riding posture, reducing strain on long rides. Additionally, the handlebar and saddle design provide decent comfort, though riders focused on endurance may want to upgrade the saddle for enhanced support.

The Java WU is fitted with mechanical disc brakes, providing adequate stopping power and control in various weather conditions. While not as strong as hydraulic disc brakes, they still offer better braking performance compared to traditional rim brakes, especially on wet or slippery surfaces.

The Java WU is fitted with 7c alloy wheels, which provide a stable and smooth ride. Paired with CST 7x28C tires, the bike delivers good grip, rolling efficiency, and durability for urban and highway cycling. The Java stock saddle is comfortable for shorter rides, but for extended road sessions, some riders might prefer an upgraded saddle for additional support.
