QUICK PRO AR:One Carbon Road Bike Frameset

QUICK PRO AR:One Carbon Road Bike Frameset

Created: February 04, 2026

The reviewer provides a detailed review of the QUICK PRO AR:One Carbon Road Bike Frameset, which they received from Quick for testing. They describe it as a lightweight, monocoque carbon frame with a racy, aggressive geometry suitable for fast group rides and racing, but not for casual or endurance riding. They praise its value, highlighting its low weight and competitive price point compared to major Western brands. They appreciate the threaded bottom bracket and the ability to customize the build. The reviewer notes the frame's stiffness and compliance, stating it absorbs road vibration well, especially with modern wider tires. They discuss the geometry, noting it has a very low stack, requiring good rider flexibility. They also mention the frame is part of a package that can include a one-piece handlebar at a discounted rate.
