Not so fast I went over my 48lb Hunq and decided I could do my next ride without carrying my hatchet. So now it only weighs 45lbs. That 3 pound difference makes me climb 7 seconds per mile faster. That may not seem like a lot, but boy can I feel the difference. My 45lb Hunq is positively spritely in feel. Don't you dare tell me weight doesn't matter, I can feel it! It's those little accelerations with every pedal stroke that make my spritely waif of a 45lb Hunq just *dance *up the hills now that I dropped those three pounds.
