On the few occations I’ve timed my ride and then compared times between Quickbeam and Hunqabeam, they are nearly the same (within a minute for a 70 minute climb). The Quickbeam is faster on the roads, Hunqabeam faster on the trails. The difference is 2-3 minutes, whch then gets made up or lost on the trail or road. Aside from frame differences, the only differences are the Hunqabeam has panniers and wider/heavier tires. Both are fixed (Hunqabem geared down roughly 10” vs QB), Albastache bars, same pedals, same engine, similar weather pattern on test days. As others have said, far from scientific (too many variables to account for, and no repetition). Still, I was laughing. A new experience for me. I rather like it. Grin.
