I am interested in a fitness hybrid and have the ability to go off-road also but I do not know which one to purchase between Specialized Sirrus X 5.0, Sirrus 4.0 and Trek Sport Carbon 4 or Trek Dual Sport 4? Your review will help me being my first bike to purchase and start exercising in this pandemic time, Thank you!
Come back. I just found your channel and I can't express how much I'm grateful for the knowledge you have shared. Especially with all the product links.
sirrus x 2.0 more nimble, lighter , more precise stirring, aimed for mostly road use and light offroad, good for damaged asphalt as well. giant roam is similar to specialized cross trail and trek DS, designed more for bad roads, damaged pavement, light gravel but still can handle pretty well on roads can handle uneven roads better than the sirrus X.
in short, it's a significant jump in quality and performance over the sirrus 2.0. definitely worth the difference in price. the ride is smoother and the bike is faster and stops better. there is however a big difference in maintenance cost. drive train parts don't last as long and cost more to replace. you'll only notice that if you ride over 1500 miles a year.
Hi, so I have a Sirrus 2.0, my commute is 2 miles of Thames tow path, but I want to do some exploring in the countryside come Summer. What are your thoughts on the Specialized Pathfinder Pro 700 x 38c? Still good for tarmac, but also allows for some light off roading? Great upgrade recommendations by the way
I'm trying to decide between this bike, the X 2.0 version, or the Trek FX 2? Do you recommend one of those over the other two? Are the upgrades to the Sirrus 3.0, X 3.0, or Trek FX 3 worth the money?
@@maxxim8268 Is it pretty fast? Anything you don't like about it? I'm thinking of getting a hybrid, but can't decide on which one. F1, F2, F3, or another brand.
Thanks for the review! I’m debating between an X 2.0 and the 2.0. If I get the X 2.0 and want to swap to a thinner tire later on, does it have any disadvantages? Also, if you’re on the road, does the ride feel different between the 2.0 and X 2.0 (ie. do you lose speed noticeably?). I like the versatility of the X 2.0 but scared that it won’t be as much of a smooth/fast ride as the 2.0.
no disadvantages to changing the tires lateron the X2.0 to thinner tires. X2.0 is not as fast as the 2.0 stock as the tires are significantly wider, on the other hand much smoother and forgiving ride. ride between the two is significantly different, the 2.0 is much more rigid, though still much more comfortable than road bikes. if you like the simpler design with less gears and have bad roads or like to ride on gravel (potholes, damaged asphalt) get the X2.0. if you want more refined shifting and want to go fast, and have smoother asphalt/bike trails, get the 2.0 if the ride is too harsh on the 2.0 you can ask the shop to change to 35, they are significantly more comfortable.
looks like a well sorted out plug and play rugged commuter. very good value proposition. very interesting fender mounted rack system. not a fan of proprietary fenders but these might be good and hopefully will never need replacement. if you are looking for a commuter, not a fitness bike this is good option. instead of starting with a fitness bike and upfitting it to these specs. are you in the market for this? are there other options you are looking into?
@@bikegallery3185 I actually want to buy one, but they are sold out at the moment. I need it to drive to high school. The bike I currently have weighs to much: '26 kg' and needs to be replaced.
@@Karim_Belgique get a trek fx1 or 2 or get a specialized sirrus 2 and add fender and rack by your self. dynamo lights are not as good as they are represented. . a good solid set of rechargeable lights is better.
@@bikegallery3185 2 Chain rings in front is what I prefer, with an 11-40T rear cassette, and non-disc brakes. Basically a Sirrus 2.0, but one that climbs better!
Sirrus 6.0 is designed more for fitness, long rides and speed. it's closer to road bike on the hybrid spectrum with road bike gearing. the x 5.0 is closer to a mountain bike on the hybrid spectrum, much bigger tire and mountain bike drivetrain, with lower gears. you can take the x 5.0 on pavement but it will do very well on light off roading, gravel etc.
very similar bikes, i would say the biggest difference is the riding position, the FX2 is a bit more upright but you can get a more upright stem and install on the sirrus and it will be the same.
@@VuongNguyen-tc4fj sirrus 2 is more for fitness/commuting/leisure. sirrus X 2 is more for leisure, packed dirt, very light offroading/gravel, damaged pavement or lots of potholes
Hii, Realy beautiful explain I love ur video and it is very helpful for all. Thankyou so much. I like your explanation with bycycle site choues bycycle. And get info all parts. ♥️♥️♥️♥️ I request you please make video Trek Ds 2 2021 model and other Trek new release 2021 byk. I am always wanting ur new beautiful video.and if possible make comparison video Thankyou so much.♥️ Love from 🇮🇳 India.
they have the same geometry, so yes, it's the same riding position. if you need a more upright position you can get one of these: amzn.to/3fcdOnV it's a pretty popular and affordable solution for changing the ridning geometry to fit you just right.
@@maxxim8268 Thankyou. I think that I will follow your advice. The problem is that I don't know how yo buy it. In Spain this bike is completely sold out
I’m around 5’10 5’11. Ideally what size would be great for me in this exact spec bike ? I wish I could go test them out but unfortunately bikes are like gold & diamonds atm. Anyone around my height have any clue? Maybe some inseam measurements to help
I’m 5’8” and bought a medium. When I tried it out in store, I tried out both the M and the L, and felt I fit between the two. The Large should be a good fit for you. The frame geometry of this one is such that the distance between the seat and handlebars is longer than the FX chassis (I was very comfortable on a large for the FX2).
@@rahilin1990 Okay perfect. Thank you so much. Where are you located ? is that large still available ? Having a hard time finding a large as of this week.
@@ks3788 Definitely get the large. It seems as though the supply chain is moving in the direction of normal and sourcing one should be somewhat easier. I purchased the large and waiting for delivery to my LBS. Best advice, is to go to several local shops in person and let them know you're serious about purchasing one ASAP and have your credit card in hand.

Sirrus 2.0 X
Come back. I just found your channel and I can't express how much I'm grateful for the knowledge you have shared. Especially with all the product links.
really clear information and make a really good description for people who start to nkow more about bikes.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words
I think the stock pedals are basically there for test rides and are supposed to be swapped out as quickly as possible
Great video - I really appreciate the in-depth spec walkthrough and links for upgrades!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! I'm trying to decide between the sirrus x 2.0 vs the giant Roam 2. Which do you recommend?

Thanks for the video. I just bought a Sirrus 3.0. What your take on that one compared to the 2.0?

Can you compare this bike or the 2023 version to the Bianchi C Sport. Absolutely no reviews in that bike
Can you please do the Sirrus X 2.0?
This video is great! Love all the details and info. Would you be able to break down the 2021 trek dual sport 2/3?
I'll do my best!
Hi I love your description. what's the saddle & pedal you recomend
Here you go: Super comfortable but still sporty saddle: amzn.to/2EymtlM
stronger, plastic pedal with sealed bearings: amzn.to/39KmgXj

I have fx2, I am 5.6" but the size I got was large, its the only available but. Still the best on road

@@bikegallery3185 thank you for the tips! I’ll check out your links! Can’t wait to get this bike 😄
I am deciding to get my first bike should I get 1.0 or 2.0?
If you ride more than 25 miles a week get the 2 it's a much better bike. otherwise get the 1
What's your opinion about the 2.0 EQ?
looks like a well sorted out plug and play rugged commuter. very good value proposition. very interesting fender mounted rack system. not a fan of proprietary fenders but these might be good and hopefully will never need replacement. if you are looking for a commuter, not a fitness bike this is good option. instead of starting with a fitness bike and upfitting it to these specs. are you in the market for this? are there other options you are looking into?

I use These they are really good quality and insulated: amzn.to/3c08IuM you can also just get a very good non insulated: amzn.to/3ce8yQP
Good review! Is there a similar bike that has 11-40T rear cassette, and only has Non-Disc Brakes?
I am not aware of any stock hybrid that has this setup. I'm assuming you mean it also has only one chainring only in the front.
@@bikegallery3185 2 Chain rings in front is what I prefer, with an 11-40T rear cassette, and non-disc brakes. Basically a Sirrus 2.0, but one that climbs better!
@@leojoseph6385 with 11-40 you need a different derailer or a hanger extension.
I am new to bikes and need an advise please. I cannot make up my mind between the Sirrus X5.0 and the Sirrus 6.0, what would you recommend.
Sirrus 6.0 is designed more for fitness, long rides and speed. it's closer to road bike on the hybrid spectrum with road bike gearing. the x 5.0 is closer to a mountain bike on the hybrid spectrum, much bigger tire and mountain bike drivetrain, with lower gears. you can take the x 5.0 on pavement but it will do very well on light off roading, gravel etc.

what's the wight of this bike? can't find it anywhere
Hi, I can't find the weight as well, some brands don't provide weights because they vary largely between different size frames.
@@bikegallery3185 I just bought mine, L size and it's 12.55 kg
