Gravel Hybrid Bike? Specialized Sirrus X 2.0 Fitness Hybrid Bike Wide Tires Feature Review &Weight

In this video we check out the least expensive version of the Specialized Sirrus X. This Sirrus X 2.0 is a great hybrid bike that we might dare to call a gravel bike. It combines the benefits of a fast & light fitness hybrid with the loose surface capabilities of a dual sport bike. What Specialized ended up with is a very easy to use 1x8 drivetrain, wide 700x42c tires, and an overall package that makes for a perfect commuter, neighborhood bike, or even gravel or dirt rail-trail machine.

I purchased this bike and I must say it’s a game changer. Fast acceleration and can take on urban rides. You do still feel the pot holes but I strongly recommend this bike!

As someone who owns this bike, this review is pretty spot on. I’ve had this bike for a few months now. Within the first week and a half, I managed to put 100+ miles on it. One thing to note is this thing can really pick up some speed on the downhill. I’m definitely enjoying it!

Bike arrived about a week ago .. Sun was out so took it out for its 1st ride today, a nice gentle 16 miles along a cycle path to Bath and back. Nice feel about the bike, brakes are responsive and gears quite smooth. Bike looks great in black. Brought the bike to mix up hiking training and to improve cardio fitness. When I got off the bike for a break ( Could not wait to get back on it ) ... I will post a video soon when I take it on the Tarka way in Devon...

I recently bought the Sirius 2.0 and love it. I bought it used but maybe it had 5 miles on it and I couldn't pass up the deal. I love it and have put on a few hundred miles in the past 2 months. It has a 2x8 drivetrain and I would be find w/ a 1x drivetrain. I never shift the front detailer as it's unnecessary. The promax hydraulic disk brakes are great, at the same time we bought an REI Co-Op bike and it has Tektro mechanic disk...I prefer the ProMax. They are quieter and I haven't had any pad contamination issues where I did with the Tektro. Also the tires, We had issues w/ the REI Co-Op Vee tires (dry rotted in 3 months from new) and on my Specialized no issues at all.

I have this Bike and it is amazing for commuting. I Can also confidently take it down any of the gravel trails which is a plus as well. And I'm not a speedy guy so the gearset is perfectly fine for me and in top gear I don't feel like I wish I had more. Great review.

Finding these Sirrus X bikes is difficult. For about 3 weeks, I had been searching for this one. Finally, I called one bike shop, even though it’s a little far away (like almost 1.5 hours from my house) they had received a few the day before I called. So I placed my order immediately for the Dove Grey Acid Pink Silver one. Now I am just waiting till its ready for pick it up. Can't Wait!

Got this bike new earlier this year for commuting, replacing a used Felt Verza that I was commuting on, and that replaced me using my Honda HRV to commute. Based on my experiences, it's a great bike for commuting and running small erramds around town. I haven't taken it on any nature trails, but I'm not much of a nature trail person.

I’m a big fan of Advent. I recently did a budget build with Advent 9-speed and drop bar shifters. It works great and is rock solid. It’s an excellent choice for a bike like this.

Just got back from New York, spent a day there just riding this bike all over the city, I was impressed! It was a rental bike so it had its fare use, but it ran really good. I already have a full suspension mob and a proper road bike, but this just fits in a different category. trying ton convince myself I don't need one more bike, but having tested one of these it's really hard not to.

I have been using this bike for the last 4 months, my friend lent it to me to get me into cycling. I have taken this thing on some very Gnarly back fire roads/ATV trails and it just keeps on trucking. The versatility this thing has is so well balanced as a all in one option, I have been comparing it to gravel and mountain bikes and its geometry is nailed right in the middle. Love this bike!

[basedpatriotLT]

why not all bikes use shrader valve? Would be more convenient (can use gas station air pump, can use your own car's air pump and so on)

[TomJordans]

You do a great job with these videos, James - thank you! I've been looking at all these flat bar bikes in this range and the thorough reviews you give are well-paced and very informative. :D

[zada]

I own this bike and it’s amazing. So comfortable, fast, and so much fun to ride

[SickMy_Duck]

I went to bike shop today and didn’t even notice it has hydraulic brakes until watching your video. This thing is perfect for my gf as a start

[peterwilliamson]

I am going to swap the front 40t ring for a 36t to make my sirrus a better climber. Another good thing about single front ring bikes. At 65, I don't mind trading better climbing for top gear speed.

[AminOndos]

How does it ride compared to the Trek FX 2 Disc? Also in general which is better Trek or Specialized?

[tomrixcomedy]

Looking for some advice please. This bike arrived today and the back brakes were rubbing a little and catching the disk so I went to unscrew the break to try and realign it but all the break fluid ran out. Now my break is loose and hardly works. Any advise please?? 😊

Just realize is this video taken in the parking lot behind Landry's bike on commonwealth ave!
