Get the Bag Boy Quad Pro. At $299.95 versus $299.99 — a four-cent gap at list — price isn't the reason. The reason is that the Quad Pro tells you what you're buying: folded size, fold mechanism, brake type, bag retention, and what's in the box. The Speed Cart X is 2.6 lbs heavier and Sun Mountain publishes almost none of those same details. The Speed Cart X is worth it if the 3-year frame warranty matters more to you than knowing how small the cart folds.
Both list at essentially the same price — $299.95 and $299.99. Both include an umbrella holder. Both are push carts. The Quad Pro lists maintenance-free tires; the Speed Cart X lists upgraded wheels. That's about where the published overlap ends, because Sun Mountain doesn't say much about the Speed Cart X's mechanics.
The Quad Pro weighs 16 lbs. The Speed Cart X weighs 18.6 lbs. That's a 2.6-lb difference at the tailgate, twice a round. Whether that matters depends on how often you're lifting it in and out of the car and how far you carry it across the parking lot. Worth noting that the lighter cart here is the one with four wheels, not three.
The Quad Pro folds to 24 × 17 × 15 inches — 3.5 cubic feet. That's a real number you can measure against your trunk before you buy. Sun Mountain doesn't publish a folded size for the Speed Cart X, so there's no comparison to make here. You'd be buying it on faith that it fits, which is a reasonable thing to do if you can see one in a shop but less comfortable ordering online.
The Quad Pro uses a two-step fold. Sun Mountain doesn't say how the Speed Cart X folds.
The Quad Pro ships with a detachable umbrella holder, a large accessory bag, a drink holder, a phone holder, a deep scorecard console, and a magnetic accessory plate. Top-Lok bag attachment is built in. The handle-mounted parking brake is there if you play any course with slopes.
The Speed Cart X includes an adjustable umbrella holder and a magnetic rangefinder plate. Sun Mountain doesn't say whether a cup holder, storage console or any other accessory is in the box. That's not a knock on the cart — it's a gap in what they publish. The stainless-steel fasteners and bearings are listed as features, and the upgraded brake cable is mentioned, but Sun Mountain doesn't say what type of brake it is or how bag retention works.
On the umbrella holder it's a draw: both carts include one, and that much is published on both sides.
The Speed Cart X has a 3-year frame warranty and a 1-year warranty on other parts. The Quad Pro has a 2-year limited warranty. If frame longevity is the concern, the Speed Cart X's frame cover runs a year longer; on its other parts it runs a year shorter.

Consider the Sun Mountain Speed Cart X if:
Two push carts at the same list price. The Speed Cart X is 2.6 lbs heavier and Sun Mountain publishes almost nothing about how it folds, how it brakes, or what else ships with it. The Quad Pro folds to 24 × 17 × 15 inches, weighs 16 lbs, and comes with a full set of accessories you can verify before you order. The Speed Cart X's 3-year frame warranty is the one concrete reason to take it over the Quad Pro — and it's a real reason, just not enough to overcome the information gap if you're buying without seeing it first.
