I bought the Sirrus X 3.0 (June 2020) during lockdown here in London U.K. after much searching due to low to nil stock. Retail £699. I then read about the crank recall. Luckily I had local Specialized dealer near me that resolved the issue in no time. I have since ridden approx 500km so far and have been blown away at how fast nimble agile and versatile this bike is. It has tackled everything I’ve thrown at it including some low level off road trails, gravel, dirt tracks, grass, canal tow paths. Each time I come away with a big smile on my face. I love the 42mm Pathfinder tyres, single front cog meaning no complicated gear changes, smooth disc brakes and lightweight design. I couldn’t justify the additional price for the X4.0 and am more than pleased with getting bang for my buck with the X 3.0. I would highly recommend the X 3.0 to anyone looking for a solid versatile hybrid bike. Also great review and very informative from technical viewpoint.

Well, balanced review. Provided good information for the experienced and beginning rider. Found an x4.0 and will be test riding it this week.

Great review, really useful. I have a 2021 Sirrus X 3.0 on order due soon.

Nice to see a comparison video. This may help in my purchase decision.

This helped a lot! Thank you! :)

Purchased the X5 in July, because they didn't have the X4 in stock and I am completely happy with the bike. It is very quick and lively and has handled all types of terrain. My understanding of why they went with the 38mm tires on the X4 and X5 was for speed/weight, having the Future -shock made the bike comfortable enough and so they didn't need the wider 42mm tires.

So looks like the 2021 version of the 3.0 X gets the Deore 10 speed set instead of that older 9 plus a silver colour option.

I am interested in upgrading from my Specialized Roll to a more capable bike. Can you give any insight to the possibilities of ordering a specific bike and what the delivery turn around might be (I live in central CT)?

Trying to decide between the sirrus 3/4 and 3/4 x models. Any advice/suggestions? Thanks.

I found this bike at my local shop in a XL frame size really caught my eye unfortunately there asking $1470.00 which I think is a little high especially being a 2020 model The store was recently locally owned bit Treck bought it out so you would think they would cut me a deal idk 🤷🏽 any opinions

Why would they put a narrower tire on the X5 vs the other trims in the line-up? Is the X5 aimed more towards highway or street use? Are you still able to put the beefier tires on the X% Carbon frame or is it narrower than the aluminum framed bikes?

Thanks for the review - it’s was very helpful! Could you, please, provide a quick comparison with Sirrus .0 (4.0, 5,0, 6,0)? Is the only difference is the tires’ width and the system (2*11 vs 1*11) or it has a different geometry and/or some other differences? Thank you!

@@ChrisEnockson as a layman, what does the difference get you in terms of riding experience or capability? Is the price increase for x5.0 or x6.0 justified if money is no option over the x4.0?

As I understand it the standard sirrus has thinner tyres and an extra 8 gears. Does the performance suffer on the x due to having less gears? Wondered if to just buy the standard sirrrus for the extra gears and swap the tyres

How does the Sirrus x3.0 & x4.0 compare with the Trek 3x & 4x 2020?

Please do the same thing with the specialized Sirrus 2021s when you get a chance.

Looked for a non X version of any Specialized Sirius, but in XL size. Not one to be had in all of New Jersey USA. Gave up. Will wait for the 2021’s.

Sirrus X has a more offroad frame geometry, different gearing, and larger tires. As for spec there are differences as well but this video is outdated because these are 2020 bikes so the specs are inaccurate.

Super helpful video. I looked at the Sirrus X 5.0 today and the Trek FX Sport 5. They are both carbon frames and have similar price points. Any thoughts on which bike is better? My main riding objective is to be able to ride around the city recreationally, join a few road rides with my road bike buddies and hit the occasional trail in the LA area (mostly sandy gravel). I'm leaning toward the Sirrus X 5.0 for two reasons: 1) It's available now and 2) the tires are a bit beefier than in the Trek FX Sport.

Hola muchas gracias, estoy a punto de comprar la sirrus X 3.0, jajaja si, la baratita de la lista, aún así, si esta carita, en fin, la mía no es lila, es ma bien como vino, en cuanto la vi y ka probé, quedé encantado, me resistía a dejar la de montaña por una híbrida o de ruta o urbana, xq no me acomodaba a las ruta, pero literalmente se siente tan cómoda como la de la de montaña, tan maniobrable como una bmx o más bien R20, y super ligera, fue como esa es mi bici para ciudad, me da risa xq los de Cannondale, me decían que para ciudad deja la de montaña y ve por una híbrida, pruebala y te va a encantar, probé la gravel y no me gustó, pero esta Sirrus X, es una maravilla, seguramente voy a echar de menos la amortiguación delantera, pero vale totalmente la pena, tengo conocidos que andan en bicis de ruta, nunca jalé con ellos xq pues mtb, es una tortuga y no me gusta la idea de que me dejen atrás, ahora se que a esta bici se le puede meter a ciertas rutas rurales o de montaña ligera y obviamente descartando en donde haya piedras, ramas y raíces excesivamente grandes, como se a que terreno ya no la puedo meter, también te quiero preguntar ¿xq la Sirrus X, teniendo las mismas características que otra similar valen lo mismo, que la se supone es la urbana, pero que ya viene con una luz, guardabarros y parrilla portabultos, entoncesxq valen lo mismo y la Sirrus x no tiene esos accesorios, pero valen lo mismo, xq?, en serio, me gustó la roja que es la que voy a comprar, pero si al comprar esos accesorios por aparte, si se incrementa considerablemente el costo, vale la pena, pero si duele al bolsillo, pues muchas gracias por el video, me ha sido muy útil, xq no sabía nada de este tipo de bicicletas, saludos desde México

i have a x 3.0 in silver flake. the problem with specialized is that most of their colors are ugly. the x 4.0 was only available in black and some kind of an ugly blue. no way i would buy a bike in such a color. therefore i took the x 3.0 in silver flake. merida hat one bike in a stunning sparkle green... much nicer, but sold out.

Awesome video Chris, I wish you made this 3 months ago when I started my search for a fitness bike. I think there is another typo for the x 5.0 chainring, online bike shops are showing it as 42T instead of 32T. Personally I can't decide between Sirrus 4.0 and X 4.0 - for $1250 I like the x4, just don't know if the 1x will be fast enough for the street if I commute. I'd consider putting on road tires, to help with resistance. Just so hard to test ride bikes right now cuz a lot of shops don't have them in the store long enough. Can the crank set be upgraded on the x4? Sorry I'm a newbie and it's so confusing when it comes to group sets and all the options.

James, thanks for the awesome reply. I believe you are correct about the 5.0 chainring typo. Yes you can change the cranks out and add a front derailleur but it sounds like you are looking more for a Sirrus than a Sirrus X. You can make these changes but they will not be very cost effective.
