Fair enough. But I would offer that a lot of what we call 'hybrid' bikes are in fact flatbar road bikes. Either that or Trek is on to something with the 'dual-sport' bikes and maybe the term 'hybrid' can be for road-focused flatbar bikes.
BTW I do disagree that the Quick CX Ultra isn't a good road hybrid. Locked out, all you would need is road tires to be the same as your average Trek FX.
