QUICK PRO AR:One

The reviewer presents the QUICK PRO AR:One as a lightweight carbon road bike frameset from one of the best Chinese manufacturers, aiming to build a complete bike under 6 kg. He unboxes the frame, handlebar, fork, and seatpost, weighs the components, and notes the bare carbon finish. He states the frame weighs 803 g, the handlebar 301 g (about 290–285 g with cables and bolts), and the uncut fork 398 g (estimated closer to 360 g after trimming). He plans to use it as a test and comparison bike against Chinese components and the Cannondale SuperSix Evo Lab 71. After a 73 km ride he reports a final weight of 6.46 kg (6.48 kg with bottle cages), expressing satisfaction. He mentions the frame costs about 13,000–14,000 yuan in China with handlebar, fork, and seatpost, with export prices higher due to taxes and shipping.

The reviewer provides a detailed review of the QUICK PRO AR:One Carbon Road Bike Frameset, which they built up into a 6.8 kg (14 lb 14 oz) complete bike.

They note it is a T1000 carbon fiber frame, aero-shaped, and UCI legal. The bike is praised for its precise handling, speed retention, and race-ready performance, especially for crits.
