We have one of each. I have a hunq, my wife has a Clem. Tt and chainstays do make them feel quite different. If you were planning on setting up the hunqapillar as a fully upright bike and using it for casual riding, I think they'd be pretty similar. I have drops on the hunqapillar and it feels like you can dig in and go pretty fast when you need to. The Clem sorta resists that temptation. When I got the hunq, I thought "wow this is like a Cadillac". Eats up bumps and rides super smooth, but isn't very spritely. Then we got the Clem and the hunq feels like a road bike in comparison. Both are excellent bikes. Especially for hauling stuff around. I actually think the hunq is more fun with a load. In terms of stoutness, they feel very similar. The Clem may be a little burlier even, but I can't imagine anyone wanting a tougher bike than either of these. My wife, who is not a strong biker, rode the Clem on a mile or so of some accidental easy single track and loved it. It was her first semi MTB experience and she was very impressed with how the Clem helped her do what she was initially sort of afraid to. That ride really could've ended in a big fight, some serious blame and deep skepticism about trusting my sense of direction on future rides. I'm very grateful Clem made it a positive experience.
