Clicgear Model 4.5 vs Sun Mountain PX4

The Quick Verdict

Get the Clicgear Model 4.5. At $339 list — only $9 more than the PX4 — you get published folded dimensions, a hand brake, and a phone holder in the console. The Sun Mountain PX4 is worth a look if four wheels matter to you specifically, and it is 3.8 lbs lighter, but Sun Mountain doesn't publish how small it folds and doesn't describe a brake anywhere in its copy. For a $9 difference, those are real gaps.

What They Have in Common

Both are three-figure push carts with umbrella holders, a drink holder, a storage console, and a mesh basket all included. Both use bag strap systems to secure the bag, and neither lists a seat. At $330 and $339 at list, they sit in the same part of the market.

Where They Differ

Size and weight

The Clicgear folds to 13 × 15 × 23 inches — that's 2.6 cubic feet. The 23-inch longest dimension is worth noting: that's the number to measure against your trunk floor. One small caveat: Clicgear's own page lists both 23 inches and 24 inches for the folded height in two different places, so take that figure as approximately 23–24 inches. Sun Mountain publishes no folded dimensions for the PX4 at all, so there's no way to compare the two on trunk fit. If knowing exactly what you're loading into the car matters, the Clicgear gives you the number; the PX4 doesn't.

The PX4 is 3.8 lbs lighter — 17.2 lbs versus 21 lbs. That's not nothing on the tailgate twice a round, especially over a full season.

Wheels

The PX4 runs four wheels with extendable front axles. The Clicgear Model 4.5 runs three. Sun Mountain publishes no open dimensions for the PX4, so how wide that four-wheel base stands isn't on the page. Whether a fourth wheel matters to you depends on the terrain you're walking.

Brake

The Clicgear has a hand brake on the front wheel with an internally routed cable. Sun Mountain's copy doesn't describe a brake on the PX4 at all. That's worth knowing before you head out on a hilly course.

What's in the box

Both carts include an umbrella holder, a drink holder, a storage console, and a mesh basket. The Clicgear adds a phone holder in the console and a storage bag. The PX4 counters with dual umbrella holders, a valuables pouch, and bungee bag straps instead of silicone ones. Neither maker lists a seat.

Warranty

The PX4 has a 3-year frame warranty and 1-year on other parts, full stop. The Clicgear's warranty depends on where you buy it: 2-year parts and 6-year frame from Clicgear.com directly, but only 1-year parts and 3-year frame anywhere else. If you're buying from a third-party retailer, that 6-year frame figure doesn't apply.

Who Should Buy Which

Get the Clicgear Model 4.5 if:

• You want to know the folded size before you buy — the 13 × 15 × 23-inch footprint is published and gives you something concrete to measure against
• A hand brake matters to you, particularly if your home course has slopes
• You're buying direct from Clicgear.com and want the longer 6-year frame warranty
• A phone holder built into the console is something you'd actually use

Get the Sun Mountain PX4 if:

• The 3.8-lb weight difference is meaningful — 17.2 lbs is a noticeably lighter lift
• You specifically want four wheels
• You're comfortable not knowing the folded size before it arrives, or you can find that out another way
• You're buying from a retailer, where the Clicgear's warranty drops to the same 3-year frame / 1-year parts the PX4 carries

The Bottom Line

Nine dollars separates these two at list. For that gap, the Clicgear Model 4.5 gives you a published folded size, a described brake system, and a phone holder. The PX4 gives you four wheels and 3.8 fewer pounds to lift. If I had to send someone to the register without knowing their exact situation, I'd send them to the Clicgear — the PX4's missing folded dimensions and absent brake description are things that would nag at me. The weight and the fourth wheel are real advantages, but they're specific ones.
