There is no specification for the first of these - but they are both cheap bikes and you get what you pay for. Reviews are quite good - especially on the first where the commentator declares it 'the best purchase ever made'!! A reassuring comment that Australians do not just buy beer.

However you want it for mainly road but don't quite say why - commuting, fitness, suicide. Maybe you should extend your options to include a hybrid bike which may be more suitable as these are mainly road but can cope with a surprising amount of off road within reason.

Also, do be guided by the reviews as well. They may not reflect and expert view but they may, if you read enough of these, identify a single point which is good or bad which may affect your decision. Good luck!

If you want to ride on the road get the big wheels.
