Love mine! I was going to go for a hybrid electric now that I'm 66 years young but happily went for the X4 instead. Great decision as I can extend the ride on this bike, even at my age. Highly recommended.
I bought the 4.0 in dark blue about three weeks ago down in La Jolla. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this bike. So fun and fast. I have a short commute to work every day (12 miles round trip) and I look forward to riding into work everyday. I also live a short ways from Signal Hill, and I'll climb the hill 4 or 5 times on the weekend for a great workout. It handles hills with ease. $1300 well spent.
Thanks for the great video that I have been watching repeatedly. I recently got the Sirrus X 4.0 in this beautiful grayish blue and found everything you say is spot on. I couldn't be happier - it does put smiles on my face in my daily life.
Fantastic I'm glad you are enjoying your bike I know the test model we have been riding has been performing flawlessly and we are really falling in love with this bike for the long haul. Thinking about buying one personally just because the bike is so good and we get so many compliments on the way it looks and rides
@@simonemorimoto8838 Yes, there are adequate number of attachment service holes both in front and rear, some of which are covered with black rubber caps. You can take a closer look by magnifying the photos on the Specialized website.
@@humbertofernandez2536 It's up to what you want. I'm still extremely satisfied with my X4.0 while there are many other good choices. My only suggestion would be any bike equipped with Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, as it really makes difference and it would be costly if you want to upgrade it later.
Wow that's awesome You picked a really great bike! Please keep us in the loop as you ride it more and let us know how you like it. It seems like the harder I push this bike the more I like it it's really fabulous
Bought mine a week ago and have put 20 miles on it so far. Damn this is one sweet machine. Plenty of gear to handle the hills and still enough to get the BPM up.
Following the crankshaft recall notice on Sirrus 3,4,5 incl X models I took my X3.0 to my authorised Specialized dealer in London (UK). They fixed the crank issue within half hour. No charge. Don't believe any new parts were required. Just some checks on internal spacing and tightening of bolts to manufacture spec. Very happy to get back on this awesome bike. Will hit the trails again since it rides beautifully and handles superbly. Will update if any issues arise.
Thanks for the review, great job! I love the Sirrus line of bikes. I had a Comp Carbon for several years and just picked up a 2020 X 5.0 and absolutely love it! Its a light, versatile and capable bike, definitely worth the $$, in my opinion.
We have found a few crank bolts that want to Work their way loose. We've had to replace one crank already but now make sure that after the initial break in we get the bikes back in and retorque everything. Seems to be a common problem and I'm not sure of the solution yet other than torquing it down to manufacturers specifications a second time This has seemed to cure the problem for now We haven't seen one come back in twice. Anyway if you find something out please let us know we'd love to keep in the loop. Thank you for your comment
@@TheBicycleRider good old Home Depot has "proper" bolts .. i broke mine today when trying to torque down to 12nm or 9 ft lbs .. my wrench would NOT click , kept going ..going and the bolt broke ... i panic mannnn .. i was lucky and drilled out the center and used my bolt extractor ... the hex bolt at home depot parts bin are of "high end " quality compared to the stock bolts which even has a washer to "widen" the head surface .. the replacemnet didnt need a washer - the head is wider and it looks better in the recessed hole of the crank ... i was able to get that "click" with my torque wrench FINALLY and the bolt didnt break like the stock .. Specialized "cheaped" out on the stock bolts ... i believe the stock bolts stretch and bend which is why they coming off.. they are not stiff like a standard M8 hex bolt suppose to be .. achilles heel of this great bike :( ... i am BULLET PROOF now with the new bolts.. btw the package of my bolts say M5 .08 x 22, the SKU is the same on the website link though www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-M5-32-x-22-mm-Internal-Hex-Socket-Cap-Head-Cap-Screws-2-Pack-08528/203538902
Specialized are taking the absolute piss here in Australia. The Sirrus X 3.0 recommended price is $1300, the X 4.0 is a whooping $2400. Price scavenging at it's best, I'd have loved the X 4.0 but not when it's $1100 more.
Important Safety Notification 27 June 2020 Specialized have finally released safety recall notice for all Sirrus 3,4,5 incl X models. Please check their website. Ensure you follow instructions to cease riding these models immediately and return it to your nearest Specialized dealer for fix. Issue relates to widely reported left crank arm / pedal coming off mid ride. Over 30 negative feedbacks on Specialized website. Glad they’ve belatedly acknowledged this as an urgent safety issue. Been monitoring this issue here in U.K. since May 2020. I’ve just taken delivery of Sirrus X 3.0 which is an awesome bike but now need to return for fix. Not pleased.
Thank you for the compliment. We had a friend ride with us today on this bike under multiple surface situations and the rider was very happy with how this bike performed It is a great bike for the money and weight wise it was much lighter than some of the actual gravel bikes that we are riding with. Thank you very compliment
my FAV! i had a X 3.0 , 2.0 - i sold the two and now got a X 4.0 in storm gray . . the X 4.0 is AWESOME .. imho the 3.0 is not worth the jump in cost over the 2.0, it is better to try to get the 4.0s if you can afford the 3.0s .. i liked the performance and value of the 2.0 over the X3.0, and the X 4.0 BEST worth every dime
I was riding wheelies I'm my old miyata cross bike, I may sell all mine to get one of these, I have a new giant roam, but I really like the specialized dampening design, and light weight, I just slap some grippy pedals on, some Chesters maybe.
How do you feel comparing this bike to the X 3.0? The extra tech is really impressive (Shimano, carbon fork, future shock, upgraded saddle) and seems like it’s worth more than the $400 difference- but is $1250 too much for an entry-level hybrid bike? Is your novice rider better learning to live with the X 3.0 and saving the $400 to put towards a road bike/proper MTB?
I had a X 3.0 , an 2.0, and finally the X 4.0 .. I feel the X 3.0 was the worst value, imo, of the three I experienced. I would buy a X 2.0 , even with the more weight over the X 3.0.. I feel the X 4.0 is a better value. I found out that it has center lock disk as well. If you can afford it, it is worth the 400 more. To me the X 3.0 is just a X 2.0 with an aluminum fork and Microshift components. I would buy the X 2.0 even if had the $900, or save to get the X 4.0
Nice video. I am 6ft with 33" inseam. I am at the end of large and start of extra large. What would be better? The stand over on the large is 31.9" and the XL is 32.7. Thanks.
Fantastic We really try to give real life reviews I know I'm not the best on camera I'm a much better bicycle rider than I am TH-camr so thanks for hanging with me as I try to improve. If you have any suggestions please let me know
Do you recommend this bike like on trails with some roots? I just recently bought one and thought about changing the tires out to a bit wider. I so love this bike a lot and my second Specialized.
Beautiful bike. This is the bike that will make you reallyyy happy. 1 by nice components and awesome color. I’m starting to like a lot Specialized. Whoever buy this bike will be fortunate.
Thank u very much for such a nice video, it will be appreciated, if u could kindly intimate the best international seller of this bike, who delivers the products to India online as well, as such the mail ID be provided thereupon, eagerly awaiting your reply soon!
Thank you for the compliment on the review This was a very fun bike to test ride and review but the 5.0 should be coming out soon I don't have it in my hands personally but I have a good friend who bought one and we are putting it through its paces now I have to say it's very impressive and I can't wait to do a video on it! Please stay tuned this should be coming shortly
Yes the x 2.0 and the x 4.0 have a few differences and I'm going to say the main one is the future shock. This does increase the price but we think it's cool that specialized does offer this really versatile bike and the two versions. there are some other subtle differences but the future shock is the main one and I think it's worth it but with that being said if it's above your budget the 2.0 x is really a very fine bike and at a very great value in my opinion.
Good practical review. One thing that puts me off a single front chainwheel is how good they will be on STEEP hills. I live in a place where the 'granny wheel' is all important as the hills are so steep and numerous. Still not convinced that a single chainwheel cog in front and a 36 or 42 sprocket cog on the rear will get me up the hills. I notice with a lot of Specialized PR videos that they show their bikes being ridden along the flats or occasional inclines. I can't afford to buy a bike like this only to learn it is hopeless on the steep stuff. Off to look at some of your other reviews.
We have been riding the 3.0 for the last few weeks and plan on shooting a video this week on it please stay tuned as you will see the 3.0 pop-up very soon thank you
How would this compare to the Specialized diverge e5 base model? Sort of torn between the two. Seems like they’re both pretty versatile. I’m new to riding and have no riding preference but would like to get into both road and off road riding. Thanks!
Wow great question! Both bikes are excellent in their own right and really very comparable. I am impressed with both the SirrusX and the diverge. The Cyrus x does have a really nice fork and the diverge is just a performer and its own right. I love both bikes and would have to say I would prefer the diverge in a gravel situation or an all road situation because I can get in the drop bars for aerodynamic position. I love the Cyrus x zipping through town because it puts me in a position of aggressive seeing what's in front of me with a flat bars It is so fun to throw that bike around in an urban situation. Hope this helps and I'll do a side-by-side comparison in the future but this one is really hard cuz they're both excellent bikes
I have a local friend who was 6'4 and rides this bike he is coming off of a road bike is so is used to a slammed position I asked him about the stack height and he said you're good to go man it's high enough!
Sure I would use this for bike packing. I will give it a try this fall and let you know how it works but I think it would be a good bike to explore on. With a 700c wheel you might have to be a little bit careful in the gnarly situations but for light trail and bike packing I think you'd be fine
My X4.0 in Gloss Smoke is coming in on the 28th of May. Only issue is that I could not try one. With that said, I'm 5''9" with 32" inseam and ordered the medium. Do you think it is the right size? Love the video's
TheBicycleRider top man! I’m looking for a bike I can use to commute for work and use to attach a child seat for family days out. Really like your content 👍🏼
All right and thank you for your comment all the way from Korea That is so cool! I agree this is a beautiful bike and I wish I knew how to get one to you in Korea but I don't. If you're ever in Mississippi stop by and see us I'll let you take it for a ride
Thank you for the review. I’m looking into getting Sirrus X 2.0 as it’s in my price range. Hope X 2.0 is good although it doesn’t have all the bells whistles.
The sirus x 2.0 might not have all the bezels and whistles but it is a very good bike We had one join us today on our multi-surface gravel ride and the rider was very happy with the performance even under multiple conditions. I think it's a rock solid bike for the price and I have put it through a thorough test against many bikes at a higher price point and it did very well
@@TheBicycleRider Thank you so much for your response. I bought the bike and loving it. I have not used it much as it's hot here in AZ but I shall be using it more often maybe in the evenings.
We have been lucky at Biloxi Bicycle Works to still have a few of these available but the numbers are getting slim now. I'm trying to get my hands on as many as these bikes as I can because they're really a fantastic value for the dollar and very versatile I hope you find one!
Nice review. Bike is beautiful. Had/sold the Sirrus Carbon Sport and really liked it. But in terms of value, wouldn’t the Cannondale Quick 3 or 4 be better? It weighs just as much as this one and at a much lower price. Or even the Giant Fastroad SL 3 (it weights just 22 lbs) goes for like $750. What are your thoughts?
Thanks for the heads up on the competitor bikes. It’s amazingly hard to find any proper reviews that compare bikes with similar specs head-to-head. Instead you get the advertorial BS. It doesn’t help that every manufacturer seems to have a different name for this class of bike: Hybrid, urban, fitness, gravel etc.
I'm a new rider and looking at the between the Salsa Journeyman Sora 650 vs the 2020 Specialized Sirrus x 4.0. Would really like your opinions on both if possible. Thank you!
You are correct. There was an installation issue that created a safety concern. Any Specialized Shop can fix the issue in a few minutes free of charge. I understand the fix requires putting loctite on a bolt, and torquing the bolt to specs.
We put a a gravel king 42 in there and it fit with plenty of room. I'll keep pushing the size up and see where it limits out at but with a 42 the bike rides really nice!
I have had my Sirrus X3.0 since June2020 and can highly recommend it. The ride is awesome on and off road given the slightly thicker tyres, lightweight design, single drive and excellent geometry. It’s fast nimble and handles bumpy terrain with ease. I often go out riding with friends that have mountain bikes with thicker tyres and front suspension and am more than able to keep up with them. Definitely a must buy.
@@alpeshpatel1451 thank you! I may have been able to grab one that was available from a local bike shop. Not holding my breath though because I've "purchased" available bikes online through 4 different shops only to be cancelled after due to their websites not being up to date with their inventory. It's been a pain to say the least.
@@alpeshpatel1451 Thought id let you know since you were helpful with your response that I was able to find a sirrus X 3!.. it is four hours away from my location but it has been so challenging just finding any of them available I said I would grab it right then and there. lol... looking forward to finally getting it.
I'm a newbie trying to get my wife into it as well. I was wondering if you could do a quick video on BOTH the Specialized Rockhopper AND the Specialized Pitch. Looking at the $400-$600 range.
Great suggestion the specialized rockhopper is such a tried and true performer. They sold out of the shop so quick I couldn't get time to do a video on them but we have the 2021 new models coming in and I will definitely do a video on those The pitch is also a great bike I can't wait to do a side-by-side comparison please stay tuned because one is coming up thank you for your suggestion
Basic difference is tire clearance and a carbon fiber front fork. For a very versatile bike the X-Series gives you a lot room for a lot bigger tire clearance. This is better for all around versatility
TheBicycleRider hey thank you for the reply! I am now looking at the x4 and x5, I know there’s a price difference, shimano gear, and carbon frame? Are there any big differences for the price that I should consider? My max was 2500 and the x5 caps that
Yes I have to say this is one of our favorite bikes it's just so versatile fun fast and comfortable. We have so much fun riding around Biloxi and the surrounding areas of the Gulf Coast and this bike is great at many things. If you're close come visit us in the shop 993 Howard avenue would love you to pop in
If you are alway riding on a hard surface, the Sirrus 4.0 is a great bike. If you ever ride on gravel, or if your local roads have a lot of construction, or maybe you sometimes find sand on your roads, the larger tires on the Sirrus X 4.0 would be better. We are located near the beach, and a strong windy day can blow sand from the beach across our roads. So the best choose depends mostly on where you will be riding.
I just want to know is it worth paying Double the price of a sirrus x2.0 to get the x4.0 I just bought the 2.0 & I have 2 weeks to exchange it should I ???
-Aluminum frame on the X version vs carbon fiber -Future shock on the X vs no future shock. -1x front chain gearing on the X vs 2x. -10 speed cassette (X) vs 9 speed. -38 mm tires on the X vs 32 mm. -Shimano (X) vs Tektro hydraulic brakes. I think those are the main differences. The X model is equipped to be more all-around bike (urban/road, grass, gravel, trail) vs the non X is more gear to urban/road (fastest).
Hi , im looking for 2021 x4.0 and how can i order it and shipping it to Kuwait coz we don’t have adeller for this brand we only have trek and other brand and how much it coast with shipping it to Kuwait Thank you .
The main difference is the X versions have a wider tire and are setup more like a gravel bike, were the non X versions have a smaller tire designed for paved roads.
@@TheBicycleRider hi don’t mean to complain ,but are you sure the x has thicker tyres ,just it says on another review they have the thinner tyres ,appreciate your time
Hi! Thank you for the videos. I have watched most of your videos. I’m going to start riding bicycle again and I want a really versatile and comfortable riding bike that I can do a lot of riding styles and last a few years. I’m gonna be riding in the city (roads here are torn with uneven surfaces/lot of pot holes) and light trails/gravel paths. I love the versatility of the sirrus X 4.0 and future shock seems really nice. I watched a few of your videos on the Marin Four Corners and it also seems like pretty versatile and comfortable bike for commute in the city and some gravel paths. I’m really starting to like the Four Cornes, but for the money its seems the SirrusX 4.0 offer better components. For a beginner rider who wants a versatile bike which one would you recommend?
Wow that's a good question. The four corners versus the Sirtud x 4.0. they are both versatile bikes but almost in two different categories. The four corners would definitely be better for long rides or to pack out with. With the drop bars and the geometry it is very comfortable on the long haul , now the 4.0 is a fantastic bike in its own category it is very versatile and the future shock is absolutely awesome the flat bars do limit the amount of time you can spend on thid comfortably for most people. I guess it all depends on the needs of the rider and the specific uses you'll be putting this bike through both are awesome bikes! I'm a big fan of the four corners for the long haul but the new x is really starting to surprise me of just how good and versatile this bike is I will keep pushing the one I'm riding to the max and keep you all informed Good luck with your choice it's not going to be an easy one both bikes are awesome
We have been testing the 3.0 thoroughly. It is a great bike but wanted to put it through its paces before talking about it on a video. We plan on shooting the video this week please stay tuned
Hello, very good video, I watch it from Italy i♥️specialized, my first was a Christmas present in 1988 ( stumpjumper) can you help me, to choice between Sirius 3.0 and Sirrus 4.0 of course with the 3.0 save a little money but after watcht this video ....thank you

Yes the x 2.0 and the x 4.0 have a few differences and I'm going to say the main one is the future shock. This does increase the price but we think it's cool that specialized does offer this really versatile bike and the two versions. there are some other subtle differences but the future shock is the main one and I think it's worth it but with that being said if it's above your budget the 2.0 x is really a very fine bike and at a very great value in my opinion.
I've had the 2.0 for almost a month and it's so much fun to ride. Do I need a 4.0? Probably not but would make the experience that much better.
Cool video, and very informative. Thank you and congratulations. Makes me wish I could drop by your store (in a different country though).
Good practical review.
One thing that puts me off a single front chainwheel is how good they will be on STEEP hills. I live in a place where the 'granny wheel' is all important as the hills are so steep and numerous. Still not convinced that a single chainwheel cog in front and a 36 or 42 sprocket cog on the rear will get me up the hills.
I notice with a lot of Specialized PR videos that they show their bikes being ridden along the flats or occasional inclines. I can't afford to buy a bike like this only to learn it is hopeless on the steep stuff.
Off to look at some of your other reviews.
The 42 is plenty to get up the hills and no noisey front mech chatter
Do a review on 3.0! Thank you and god bless you!
We have been riding the 3.0 for the last few weeks and plan on shooting a video this week on it please stay tuned as you will see the 3.0 pop-up very soon thank you
What the handle bar width? It looks very wide. Not ideal for going thru traffic?
Does the kids Shotgun bike seat fit on these models?
You really have me considering buying this bike after recently purchasing the Trek FX 3.
Did u end up getting it?
How would this compare to the Specialized diverge e5 base model? Sort of torn between the two. Seems like they’re both pretty versatile. I’m new to riding and have no riding preference but would like to get into both road and off road riding. Thanks!
Wow great question! Both bikes are excellent in their own right and really very comparable. I am impressed with both the SirrusX and the diverge. The Cyrus x does have a really nice fork and the diverge is just a performer and its own right. I love both bikes and would have to say I would prefer the diverge in a gravel situation or an all road situation because I can get in the drop bars for aerodynamic position. I love the Cyrus x zipping through town because it puts me in a position of aggressive seeing what's in front of me with a flat bars It is so fun to throw that bike around in an urban situation. Hope this helps and I'll do a side-by-side comparison in the future but this one is really hard cuz they're both excellent bikes
Hi I'm 6'4" would the xl have a large enough stack height for me ? thanks .
I have a local friend who was 6'4 and rides this bike he is coming off of a road bike is so is used to a slammed position I asked him about the stack height and he said you're good to go man it's high enough!
@@TheBicycleRider thanks for taking the time to reply , that help my decision alot.
Would you use it for bikepacking?
Sure I would use this for bike packing. I will give it a try this fall and let you know how it works but I think it would be a good bike to explore on. With a 700c wheel you might have to be a little bit careful in the gnarly situations but for light trail and bike packing I think you'd be fine
What do you mean by longer top tube lets you breathe?
My X4.0 in Gloss Smoke is coming in on the 28th of May. Only issue is that I could not try one. With that said, I'm 5''9" with 32" inseam and ordered the medium. Do you think it is the right size? Love the video's
Nice review. What size is that you have there, please?
This is a size medium in this video
How long does the suspension / shock cartridge last?
Could you do a upload on the sirrus x 2.0? Something more in my price range cheers 👌🏼
We have a video on the 2.0 somewhere in our library I'll see if I can find it for you The 2.0 is a great bike for the price!
TheBicycleRider top man! I’m looking for a bike I can use to commute for work and use to attach a child seat for family days out. Really like your content 👍🏼
@@TheBicycleRider you have a video on the Sirrus 2.0 but not the X 2.0, I think?
@@garybayko3301 , We filmed the Sirrus 2.0 x last night It might take a few days for us to produce it and get it out to you but it is coming.
Thank you for the nice youtube video. I am living in Korea, and I can't buy this bike. Are there any way to buy this nice looking bike?
All right and thank you for your comment all the way from Korea That is so cool! I agree this is a beautiful bike and I wish I knew how to get one to you in Korea but I don't. If you're ever in Mississippi stop by and see us I'll let you take it for a ride
Thank you for the review. I’m looking into getting Sirrus X 2.0 as it’s in my price range. Hope X 2.0 is good although it doesn’t have all the bells whistles.
The sirus x 2.0 might not have all the bezels and whistles but it is a very good bike We had one join us today on our multi-surface gravel ride and the rider was very happy with the performance even under multiple conditions. I think it's a rock solid bike for the price and I have put it through a thorough test against many bikes at a higher price point and it did very well
@@TheBicycleRider Thank you so much for your response. I bought the bike and loving it. I have not used it much as it's hot here in AZ but I shall be using it more often maybe in the evenings.
Is it still available? Im searching for this bike everywhere... But it looks like it is out of stock 😪
We have been lucky at Biloxi Bicycle Works to still have a few of these available but the numbers are getting slim now. I'm trying to get my hands on as many as these bikes as I can because they're really a fantastic value for the dollar and very versatile I hope you find one!
Would love one of these (medium) but can't find one anywhere.
Yes they are such a good bike they're selling out all over the country Good news is there's some more hitting the shops very soon
Nice review. Bike is beautiful. Had/sold the Sirrus Carbon Sport and really liked it. But in terms of value, wouldn’t the Cannondale Quick 3 or 4 be better? It weighs just as much as this one and at a much lower price.
Or even the Giant Fastroad SL 3 (it weights just 22 lbs) goes for like $750. What are your thoughts?
Thanks for the heads up on the competitor bikes. It’s amazingly hard to find any proper reviews that compare bikes with similar specs head-to-head. Instead you get the advertorial BS. It doesn’t help that every manufacturer seems to have a different name for this class of bike: Hybrid, urban, fitness, gravel etc.
I'm a new rider and looking at the between the Salsa Journeyman Sora 650 vs the 2020 Specialized Sirrus x 4.0. Would really like your opinions on both if possible. Thank you!
Cheers for the review.
I heard this bike was recalled for crank issues etc.
You are correct. There was an installation issue that created a safety concern. Any Specialized Shop can fix the issue in a few minutes free of charge. I understand the fix requires putting loctite on a bolt, and torquing the bolt to specs.
Nice review. Did you sort out the maximum tire size?
We put a a gravel king 42 in there and it fit with plenty of room. I'll keep pushing the size up and see where it limits out at but with a 42 the bike rides really nice!
have you done a review on the x3.0? can't find a good one anywhere
I have had my Sirrus X3.0 since June2020 and can highly recommend it. The ride is awesome on and off road given the slightly thicker tyres, lightweight design, single drive and excellent geometry. It’s fast nimble and handles bumpy terrain with ease. I often go out riding with friends that have mountain bikes with thicker tyres and front suspension and am more than able to keep up with them. Definitely a must buy.
@@alpeshpatel1451 thank you! I may have been able to grab one that was available from a local bike shop. Not holding my breath though because I've "purchased" available bikes online through 4 different shops only to be cancelled after due to their websites not being up to date with their inventory. It's been a pain to say the least.
@@alpeshpatel1451 Thought id let you know since you were helpful with your response that I was able to find a sirrus X 3!.. it is four hours away from my location but it has been so challenging just finding any of them available I said I would grab it right then and there. lol... looking forward to finally getting it.
I'm a newbie trying to get my wife into it as well. I was wondering if you could do a quick video on BOTH the Specialized Rockhopper AND the Specialized Pitch. Looking at the $400-$600 range.
Great suggestion the specialized rockhopper is such a tried and true performer. They sold out of the shop so quick I couldn't get time to do a video on them but we have the 2021 new models coming in and I will definitely do a video on those The pitch is also a great bike I can't wait to do a side-by-side comparison please stay tuned because one is coming up thank you for your suggestion
TheBicycleRider AWESOME!!! And thank you!!
Hey great review! I’m looking at either Sirrus 4.0 or Sirrus X 4.0, can you tell me the difference? New rider that wants a versatile bike
Basic difference is tire clearance and a carbon fiber front fork. For a very versatile bike the X-Series gives you a lot room for a lot bigger tire clearance. This is better for all around versatility
TheBicycleRider hey thank you for the reply! I am now looking at the x4 and x5, I know there’s a price difference, shimano gear, and carbon frame? Are there any big differences for the price that I should consider? My max was 2500 and the x5 caps that
the X series has 1x by crank, less gears and wider tires
It’s Awesome! Maybe my next bike. 👍👍😎. Ahh, your in Biloxi. Cool.
Yes I have to say this is one of our favorite bikes it's just so versatile fun fast and comfortable. We have so much fun riding around Biloxi and the surrounding areas of the Gulf Coast and this bike is great at many things. If you're close come visit us in the shop 993 Howard avenue would love you to pop in
I'm in the market for a bike mainly for urban riding. Looking at the Sirrus 4 and Sirrus x 4.0. Which would you recommend?
If you are alway riding on a hard surface, the Sirrus 4.0 is a great bike. If you ever ride on gravel, or if your local roads have a lot of construction, or maybe you sometimes find sand on your roads, the larger tires on the Sirrus X 4.0 would be better. We are located near the beach, and a strong windy day can blow sand from the beach across our roads. So the best choose depends mostly on where you will be riding.
Do you have any of these in stock in a size medium or large?
Would Roubaix Sport be faster bike?
I just want to know is it worth paying Double the price of a sirrus x2.0 to get the x4.0 I just bought the 2.0 & I have 2 weeks to exchange it should I ???
Did you?
What are the major differences between this and the non x version?
-Aluminum frame on the X version vs carbon fiber
-Future shock on the X vs no future shock.
-1x front chain gearing on the X vs 2x.
-10 speed cassette (X) vs 9 speed.
-38 mm tires on the X vs 32 mm.
-Shimano (X) vs Tektro hydraulic brakes.
I think those are the main differences. The X model is equipped to be more all-around bike (urban/road, grass, gravel, trail) vs the non X is more gear to urban/road (fastest).
Hi , im looking for 2021 x4.0 and how can i order it and shipping it to Kuwait coz we don’t have adeller for this brand we only have trek and other brand and how much it coast with shipping it to Kuwait Thank you .
Looks good thanks, but in July 2020, all sizes sold out. Next year model not coming til November. Ugh, Covid.
Cool bike 👌🏼
What’s the difference between this and the no x
The main difference is the X versions have a wider tire and are setup more like a gravel bike, were the non X versions have a smaller tire designed for paved roads.
@@TheBicycleRider cheers ,
Do u know anything about punctureless tyres ,or tyres that reduce the chance of puncture ,really appreciate your time ,cheers
@@TheBicycleRider hi don’t mean to complain ,but are you sure the x has thicker tyres ,just it says on another review they have the thinner tyres ,appreciate your time
Hi! Thank you for the videos. I have watched most of your videos. I’m going to start riding bicycle again and I want a really versatile and comfortable riding bike that I can do a lot of riding styles and last a few years. I’m gonna be riding in the city (roads here are torn with uneven surfaces/lot of pot holes) and light trails/gravel paths. I love the versatility of the sirrus X 4.0 and future shock seems really nice. I watched a few of your videos on the Marin Four Corners and it also seems like pretty versatile and comfortable bike for commute in the city and some gravel paths. I’m really starting to like the Four Cornes, but for the money its seems the SirrusX 4.0 offer better components. For a beginner rider who wants a versatile bike which one would you recommend?
Wow that's a good question. The four corners versus the Sirtud x 4.0. they are both versatile bikes but almost in two different categories. The four corners would definitely be better for long rides or to pack out with. With the drop bars and the geometry it is very comfortable on the long haul , now the 4.0 is a fantastic bike in its own category it is very versatile and the future shock is absolutely awesome the flat bars do limit the amount of time you can spend on thid comfortably for most people. I guess it all depends on the needs of the rider and the specific uses you'll be putting this bike through both are awesome bikes! I'm a big fan of the four corners for the long haul but the new x is really starting to surprise me of just how good and versatile this bike is I will keep pushing the one I'm riding to the max and keep you all informed Good luck with your choice it's not going to be an easy one both bikes are awesome
Wheres the video for 3.0
We have been testing the 3.0 fully before doing the video We plan to shoot one this week on the 3.0 so please stay tuned one will be coming up shortly
We have been testing the 3.0 thoroughly. It is a great bike but wanted to put it through its paces before talking about it on a video. We plan on shooting the video this week please stay tuned
great video. I am SOLD!
😍😍😍
Hello, very good video, I watch it from Italy i♥️specialized, my first was a Christmas present in 1988 ( stumpjumper) can you help me, to choice between Sirius 3.0 and Sirrus 4.0 of course with the 3.0 save a little money but after watcht this video ....thank you
I am also looking. I think 4.0 is the better option. You get for just the 300 /400 more a bettter gear, carbon fork and the future shock.
I looked at this bike, but the recall has most definitely changed my mind.
I just bought this bike and my shop has everything to fix the recall.
Amanda Sullivan what is the recall ?
@@davidfinkel3241 "Specialized Bikes has issued a recall notice for certain 2019 and 2020 Sirrus and Sirrus X models. The cranks may not have been installed correctly at the Specialized factory, which could affect rider safety. Specialized is asking all riders to stop riding these bicycles at this time." www.specialized.com/us/en/safety-notices
@@davidfinkel3241 the left crank can literally just fall off while riding.
All it takes to fix it is adding loctite to the crank bolts. Really not a big deal.
Maravilha, quero comprar uma...
Your language sounds beautiful but I'm sorry I don't understand Spanish very well I'll work on my translation techniques but at the moment I don't know how to answer your question but I'm sure it's a very good one
@@TheBicycleRider não é espanhol, é português. Tente traduzir, como sempre faço com a língua inglesa...
This looks like a 3.0
3.0 doesnt have a fork shock
10.4 kg
Stupid staggered seat stay and top tube. Ridiculous trend.
