Sun Mountain - Speed Cart SV1

Have had an original speed cart since they first came out. It was getting pretty beat up so I sprung for a new one. For the most part I like the new one. Brakes are vastly improved. I like the cam levers vs the turn knobs. The net in the handle is very handy. What seems weak to me is the new storage tray. Because of the angle of the handle the items in the two side compartments slide forward. I keep tees in one and ball markers and other misc in the other. The middle compartment is ok. I dislike the pencil and scorecard holder. Dont ever see myself using it. The first time I put a pencil in the receptacle it got pushed in to far. I had to dig it out with a drill bit into the eraser.
I know they are small things, but what good are they if they are more inconvenient than useful.
One last comment. While I do like the non-inflatable tires (no maintenance), the cart does not ride quite as smooth as it does on the old inflatable tires. But this just an observation, not entirely a criticism.
I still think that overall Sun Mtn makes the best 3 wheel cart on the market and the CS cannot be beat!!

I love my V1, so bought an SV1 for my wife ( golf partner). It is great! Once again, The Rock came through with the best price, shipping and service.

THE SV1 IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY. THE CENTER OF GRAVTY IS WAY OFF. WITH MY BAG ON FULL OF HYBRID CLUBS THE CART TIPS BACKWARDS. I NEED TO PUT 1 1/2 DOZEN GOLF BALLS IN BOTTOM OF MY BAG TO HOLD THE FRONT WHEEL ON THE GROUND & IF I PUT A SMALL UMBRELLA ON THE UMBRELLA HOLDER THE CART JUST BARELY STAYS ON 3 WHEELS. DITO FOR PUTTING ON THE BIG UNBRELLA UNLESS I PUT 2 1/2 DOZON BALLS IN BOTTOM OF BAG. WHEN I CARRIED MY BAG I ONLY NEEDED A COUPLE BALLS TO PLAY A ROUND. ALSO AT 5' 9" TALL IF I OPEN THE CART ALL THE WAY THE HANDLE IS WAY TO HIGH & VERY AWKWARD TO PUSH. HANDLE NEEDS TO BE AROUND MIDDLE OF STOMACH TO PUSH EASY. I LAST YEAR 2012 SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE SV1 E-MAILED SUN MOUNTAIN ABOUT MY CONCERNS & THE RESPONSE I GOT WAS VERY POOR ( LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT ). IT IS THE DESIGNERS WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. I DO LIKE THE TIRES AS SOME OF MY FRIENDS WHO HAVE OLDER MODELS ARE ALWAYS NEEDING TO PUMP UP THEIR TIRES.

I've owned theoriginal Sun Mountain speed cart for seven or eight years and I love it. I needed a second cart and learned the V1 is being discontinued in favor of the new SV1. I purchased the new one and returned it after 9 holes. First, the new handle locking system is a lever instead of the knob. Mwith the knob you can adjust the tension. With the lever I found the handle would move up a few clicks when lifting the rear tires over a curb with a full bag on the cart. Annoying to have to then readjust the handle. The brake is now on one of the rear wheels instead f the front wheel, so you can't simply tilt the cart and roll it forward then set it down without releasing the brake each time. The new brake is a pin that moves forward into a rather cheap plastic disc with dividers for the pin to set into. The origi al V1 has a bicycle style brake pad pressing against the tire on the front and is superior. The cup holder on the SV1 is a bicycle style frame cup holder that dangles freely from a pin on the side. A standard water bottle falls out frequently. Lastly,mother low profile foam tires do not roll anywhere as easily as the original air filled tires. Seems like every change,Sun Mountain,has made to this great push cart has been a step back, except forthe addition of the umbrella.

Well thought out cart, easy to push, folds up small

This is the Cadillac of golf carts, one of the best I've ever owned.

I play in a golf league on Monday nights and I decided to make an investment to start walking when I golf, rather than riding. I think there is a lo that you miss while on the cart. Try it out. Anyway, I did a lot of research on push carts, and looked at several competitor of Sun Mountain. I couldn't decide if I wanted the SV1 or the V2, because there aren't many review for this particular model, but there were plenty of positives about the V2. It is everything I need in a push cart, has great functionality, and looks sweet! It's like the Mercedes-Benz of pushcarts. This thing rolls like its on ice, super smooth! Folds up in 10 seconds, and fits in my trunk with no problem. The umbrella holder is sweet too, I picked up a UV Sun Mountain umbrella from Rock Bottom too. Please note, this is separate. Also, I use a large Calloway Tour bag, and it is somewhat larger, so I called Sun Mountain and they shipped me securing straps to sort of beef up the standard thumbscrew fasteners. It would work fine for a stand bag. Overall, this product is worth every dollar. If you carry clubs, you should give this a shot. If you PULL your cart rather than push it, you should give this a shot. Great product, great company, and Rock Bottom is a great distributor of quality products. Super fast shipping. Hit em straight, hit em long!

I have used a pull cart for the last 5 years. Tired of deciding which arm / shoulder to use I bought this push cart. It is a much more natural action with both arms. It looks very large (and stable) with the bag on it but folds down and fits in the car trunk with ease.
