Same! I ride pavement 99% or the time but sometimes I’m forced onto the sidewalk or come across a short stretch of dirt road along my route. I don’t want a bike that can’t even go on GRASS lmao. This bike is a perfect road bike for those who just simply like to excercise and aren’t out trying to set records but still want a good road bike that isn’t stopped by *gasp* GRASS or a brick paved road.. lmao that’s pathetic 😂
I recently picked this bike up and can totally agree with everything said in this video. This is my first real bike as an adult and I absolutely love it, it really is fast and light as well great on handling. Cool little note, inside the handle bar there is an Allen wrench to take off the tire & make other adjustments on the bike. Thumbs up on this great review!
I bought a 3.0 a few weeks ago and it is fast. Can't imagine the 4.0 being that much faster. Wish I had a chance to compare the rwo but its a sellers market now and you just have to choose from what's available.
Just brought the 2021 this past Saturday on Halloween...I had to travel 175miles from NY to Massachusetts..I brought the XL since im 6foot 3...they have a Large in silver and a lavender in L still available at "Landry bikes"...Jack and Danny were really helpful..the bike just glides and is very swift..I stopped riding my silver 2021 cannondale quick 3 after riding this full carbon 4.0 sirrus..what a big difference..the video does no justice but in person the bike is sexy and sleek looking..P.S. what happen to Cannondale?? They use to keep up with the competition like specialized, trek, and giant.
Just picked up one Saturday night, didn't even get to ride it a mile when I noticed some horrible clicking and noise coming from the crank/bottom bracket area. Ended up returning it today. I will say this bike is light and the R9 shifters are amazing. I just wish it had furture shock!
I heard that the 2019-2020 had a recall because of the crank torque or something like that. Yours was having that issue that's why it was making that noise
A little late to this great video but I just got the Sirrus X 5.0. My local shop had the only XL which I had my eye on for months.. week after week I’d check to see if it was still on the racks and it kept calling out to me, lol! In the short time I’ve had it I’m already blown away by how light and quick and responsive it feels.. the FS stem was one of the main reasons I took the jump.. All things in moderation but looking to upgrade the pedals and seat for now. Any recommendations?
Congratulations on the new X 5.0. We have ridden that bike it's awesome! We really like the Crank Brothers flats even the stamp 1.0 is a pretty good pedal for the type of riding you're going to do on that bike. If you decide to clip in think about the crank brothers candies they're a good versatile pedal compared to a straight up road setup in case you want to get off your bike and walk into a coffee shop or run some errands.
Excellent video! This bike is now going for $1,500. How much of a speed difference between the 4.0 and 3.0? You also mentioned that the 4.0 is of a higher quality than the other aluminum bikes. I was thinking about the 3.0 but having viewed this video I would consider this bike. The 3.0 comes in a black and red that looks amazing! What are your thoughts? BTW, you look very fit and in good shape. Thanks
I've been waiting for this review! Now the tough decision on whether is worth spending the extra $400 over the Sirrus 3? Are quick releases that big a deal on bikes with disc brakes? in other other words issues with alignment when reinstalling. Guessing you won't have that issue with thru axles? Since this is a size Large, this isn't too big? I'm 5'9" like you so just trying to gauge size
I would do the large if you’re 5’9. I am 5’10 and they run a little bit small. I had a medium but my brand new 🌈Sirrus 6.0 is a large!! check my review for better info @gsunit21
@GSUnit21 I did watch your review and you definitely have a bad ass bike! None of the shops here in California have them. I’m going to my LBS today, they happen to have both M n L, hopefully I can leave with one of them.
Good luck my brother let me know what happens! I actually bought and resold a few bikes trying to trade up to get the one I wanted! Don’t be afraid to drive a few miles you could track one down on the specialized website if you’re slick!!! Let me know if you need anything
I’m sure you’ve done vids on the sirrus 2.0 and the sirrus x I’ve gone ahead and bought the sirrus 2.0 but am wondering what size tyre I can put in it? I have 700x35 on there as standard but as the sirrus x has 42mm is that possible on the sirrus 2.0 ? Are the forks width the same on both bikes ? Any help much appreciated, I don’t need room for fenders
Yes the clearance is different on the two bikes the X can accommodate much wider tires , we have mounted 700x37 on the regular Sirrus but that's pushing it .
@@Leo-lp4zh if your close to Massachusetts they have a few left in L both silver and lavender at "LANDRY'S BIKES"...I just brought the silver in XL..I like the ride better than the trek FX..similar frame but I could be bias because this is my 3rd specialized..lol..The bike is very light and swift...your not going to want to get off..lol
@@LOGICAL-JAY Last week, a bike shop in Sacramento received the SIrrus 4, X4.0 and X5.0 I test rode all 3 and ended up buying the X4.0. It's soooo smooth and a blast to ride. I wanted to test ride the FX 4 for comparison but the Trek store said on backorder for 3 to 6 months. That made my decision so much easier....LOL!!
By any chance do you know the torque specs for the wheel thru axle and the seat post clamp on the specialized sirrus 4.0 carbon ????? I Just don't want to over tighten on the carbon frame..
James Bray just found out the Pro Carbon and the Expert Pro Carbon are no longer manufactured, so I'm guessing The 6.0 & 4.0 are the top two flat bar road bikes from Specialized.
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 actually test rode both models (as well as the X5) and was surprised with my experience. Beforehand, I fully expected to buy the 4 because no plans to do much off-road but the future shock on the X models made the ride sooo much smoother and enjoyable. I went with the X4.
Yes, that's been resolved for some time now, I can't recall the date. It involved using some loctite and torquing a bolt to spec. Specialized dealers were fixing the issue free of charge, and it was a quick fix at the shop.
@@TheBicycleRider Had mine done at Mikes Bikes in Folsom California. Crank fell off 2nd day. Totally Awesome Bike! I train on it 2 to 3 hours every day 20 to 40 miles!!
This bike blows bro. Streets of Los Angeles are like a 3rd world country. I’m constantly spending money on new rims and inner tubes. Hitting pot holes or bumps on the road too fast and there goes the rims. Buy a mountain bike instead.
The sirrus is the best bike ever! Better than a road bike IMO. I will always ride the Sirrus till the end- it is a lifelong bike.

same wrench for the seat too?
Ordered it today, now bring on spring!
Can you also have a review of Specializied Sirrus 6.0?
Looks good 👍
Heard news of the 3.0 having problems with cranks
I bought a 3.0 a few weeks ago and it is fast. Can't imagine the 4.0 being that much faster. Wish I had a chance to compare the rwo but its a sellers market now and you just have to choose from what's available.

Need some help on what ro buy 3 0 or x3.0 or 4.0 can you help
x3.0 If you can find it in stock somewhere is a really kick ass bike for the money.
Nice bike. I want one.
I’m sure you’ve done vids on the sirrus 2.0 and the sirrus x I’ve gone ahead and bought the sirrus 2.0 but am wondering what size tyre I can put in it?

No the stock mount works well for flat bar
what about the recall?
How fast this bike ? i have fuji traverse 1.3 2014 and i have GP5000 32mm tyre...and weight ca 14kg, my speed is ca 27-30km/h
Could you compare this to the Trek equivalent (I think the fx4)?
That's my problem...choosing betw/ this bike and the Trek FX carbon 4. WIth the bike shortage, you can't test ride anything. It would be VERY helpful.
@@Leo-lp4zh if your close to Massachusetts they have a few left in L both silver and lavender at "LANDRY'S BIKES"...I just brought the silver in XL..I like the ride better than the trek FX..similar frame but I could be bias because this is my 3rd specialized..lol..The bike is very light and swift...your not going to want to get off..lol

Can I put punctureless tyres on this/ but do you like it ,not sure lol😅🏴
I want that bike. Only one I can find is 800 miles away and the dealer won't ship. Anyone have any options
By any chance do you know the torque specs for the wheel thru axle and the seat post clamp on the specialized sirrus 4.0 carbon ????? I Just don't want to over tighten on the carbon frame..
it's written next to the screw
AWESOME!
Have u done siruis 5 x is there a big difference
For $1300 should we expect better than Sora ?
Can you tell me if a 45 series tire will fit this bike?
Great looking bike, I can't quite afford the 6.0 but I've only ever found the X 5.0, is there a 5.0?
Don't make Sirrus 5.0, woulda been nice if they could have a model in between the 4.0 & 6.0

@@seattlesfinest1927 Future shock is a game changer!
Yes. I have the 2020 5.0
Harry Romero I'd like to see that bike, I've only ever seen the X 5.0
What do you think about Shimano Sora?
Where can I find this grips for my Sirrus X 3.0?
Great review
I thought this model had the suspension head tube
Shimano Sora for $1300?
David Vidanes That's an ambiguous comment, is that a good or a bad deal?
I’m looking for this bike. Everywhere is sold out
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.
@@TheBicycleRider Thank you, appreciate the response! I tried both models at my LBS and I'm leaning towards the X!

Beautiful bike made before the stupid staggered seat stay and top tube trend.
Wonder if they fix the recall on left crank falling off.!
Yes, that's been resolved for some time now, I can't recall the date. It involved using some loctite and torquing a bolt to spec. Specialized dealers were fixing the issue free of charge, and it was a quick fix at the shop.
I believe that recall was only on certain models not my Sirrus 6.0!!! Don’t let it deter you from your purchase as it is an amazing bike
@@TheBicycleRider Had mine done at Mikes Bikes in Folsom California. Crank fell off 2nd day. Totally Awesome Bike! I train on it 2 to 3 hours every day 20 to 40 miles!!
Google it. Recall. Don't buy according to the company
That's issue was corrected several months ago. So I assume you are seeing an old article.
@@TheBicycleRider ok. I'll look into it again. Thanks.
Just took it in and they fixed it for free. No big deal.
