SEE I've noticed this also, If I use a horse I look fast but if I use a bear I feel slower, I can't recall who but they said its the same speed just because its a larger entity it looks slower etc
Some mounts have better strides and landing bounce after a jump, some have really bad animations that actually slow you down while others are smoother giving you a slight leg up.
Certainly you’re not alone in feeling that different mounts/mounted toons run at different speeds. There is also something to be said for mounts glitching or catching on the terrain differently, as noted in the thread above. But theoretically they should be equal.
Are your toons different heights? Mounts scale to your toon’s height, which can also make one feel faster than the other. A tall toon will have a larger mount than a small toon, but they should cover the same distance in the same time.
If Windrunning isn’t the difference, then perhaps try testing the two as in the earlier thread? I believe the tester described the test “track” they used if you want to compare numbers. (They did have Windrunning, though.)
